hanyou - They are very easy to install. You should be able to do it yourself in around 40 minutes. Heres a link to a tutorial by prank for installing a C's short shifter. CLICK HERE

If your not confident with D.I.Y then any mechanic should be able to do it for you in around 20-30mins.

PM sent

:D

No Probs guys. Whenever your ready.

Just to let you all know - I can get C's shifters to suit most cars!!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

will a kit for a R33 GTS-t fit in my R33 GTS? or are they too different?

is the actual 'stick' shorter also or just the throw?

(i like the stumpy look for a gearstick and i don't want to chop mine)

It should fit your R33 GTS no probs.

The stick is about 1cm shorter and the there is a 30% reduction in throw.

Can your guy bring in other parts too?

HEHEHE

My suppliers/contacts can bring in alsmost anything :)

We can take orders for used or new parts for Skylines too.

Only gets good brands like ORC, HKS, Cusco, OS, ATS.

Also brand new - Hybrid - Apexi - HKS - Greddy/trust - MOMO.

:P

these short shifters don't wreck gearboxes or anything?

Sydneykid posted this in another shifter thread .

The short shifter itself can not cause harm to the gearbox. It simply changes the ratio between how far your hand moves (on the gear knob) and how far the linkage moves. Obviously, it also increases the amount of effort you have to exert to move the gear lever (there is less leverage after all).

It is worth pointing out at this point that the selector forks do not move any more or any less with a short shifter installed. They still go just as far "in to" and "out of" gear. This is controlled by the detents and the synchro hubs. The gear lever is irrelevant. As ylwgtr2 pointed out, you can over extend the synchro hubs by pushing on the gearlever with your hand while a gear is engaged. But that is again the same for short and standard shifters.

The only way you can get damage to the gearbox is if you stuff up the gearchanges. If you try and shift faster than the synchros will allow, then you most certainly will damage them. But that is no different whether you have a short shifter or a long shifter. It might be a bit easier to "beat the synchros", but that is still driver error. Although some would argue it is in fact harder to stuff up as you need to exert more effort to move the lever and you get better feed back. So you can better feel the synchros engaging.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
