with the short shifter, do you have to reach lower as well after it's installed?

nope, not at all,

it reduces the throw, i.e the distance between 2nd and 3rd etc. If you take your stock shifter and put it next to your c's youll notice their exactly the same size however the angled bit at the bottom is angled more thus reducing the time it takes to enter each gear,

A short shifter is a must for everyone, every other gearbox feels no way near as solid as a gearbox with a short shifter when shifting gears.

well i am definitely not someone who is very mechanically minded but i put mine in yesterday by myself and i did it in just under half an hour, if i did it again i could do it in half the time! Would definitely recommend buying one, love driving the car even more now!

Yep the C's short shifter is awesome fitted mine in about 10 to 15mins very clever design and i'm very happy with the reason on my gtr r33 :P

so you guys all have genuine C's short shifters? cos i've heard there a few knock-off abouts.

may i ask the price of these? can you get them for R34 GT-T's?

these aren't bad for the gearbox are they?

well mine came in the c's box and the warranty card and i bought it well before the cheap replicas became popular

Yes u can get them for 34's, the price varys as c's have stopped making short shift kits ages ago as they are bankrupt.

Yes they do **** your gearbox over time, but its worth it

i'm to came the same (dam big box for a shifter)

i got mine through a contact in japan (workshop)

if interested pm me and i can pass on his contact details

Real C's shifter wasn't cheap tho (top notch quality)

You say they **** your gearbox, but by what sort of span are we talking about here, and how exactly does the kit actually stuff the box up?

I have been interested in getting one of these into my r33 gts-t but i dont want it blowing my gearbox up.

short shifter will not damage a gearbox it only shorten selection which will not effort internal working at all.

as the short shifter reduces the travel between gears, it definately increases synchro wear, as you are shortening the selection, the synchros have less time to work, and more wear occurs.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
