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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
