Just installed my "C's short shifter", ordered from japan through Unique Auto Sports.

And what a bloody differance.:P

It has turned the feel of my R33 from a luxury sports car to a true sports car. The throw, of the shift, is just perfect and the box actually feels alot tighter. Took my car around Calder Park (Melb.) on the weekend and the speed of my shifts dramatically improved, even my mates watching from the side line heard the difference.

I would recommend this upgrade to anyone.

Note: Your synchro's must apparently be in good condition

Forget about the NISMO short shifter it is only 10% shorter and barely noticable.

And yes it is a bit pricey but i have absolutely no regretes and no problems recommending it.:jump:

Shameless plug:

I'm bought a couple of C's Short Shifters whilst I was in Japan, and selling them for $450 each plus shipping...

Damn!!!

I wish i found this site earlier:mad:

Yeh great your a genius you know what double clutching is. Thay wasnt my question. Perhaps i should clarify.

But what is over selection, putting too much stress on selection forks??? or is it going to 5th when wanting third, 2nd when wanting 4th. I havent heard this term before.

I have the C's short shifter too and when my car is cold 2nd really crunches - even at low revs.

My car came with this from Japan so I can't compare to the original shifter but I can say it does feel good shifting with it (when it's warm). Very tight feeling and quick to shift.

overselection is putting pressure on the shift fork past the gear engagement point. Resting your hand on the gear stick when driving does this as well. The overselection may will wear the weakest part, some gearboxes this is the shift fork others the gear/syncros.

i just installed one in my car on thursday night, and i must admit it was one of the best $500 i have spent (so merli's ones would be a bargain!)

Feels really nice now, nice and direct... i was a bit worried about installing it, but when i was doing it it wasn't so bad at all (hardest bit was removing two c clips!)..

I took pictures while i was doing it, but my cable modem is dead, and i am not sitting on dial up to upload them :P i will try on monday though..

so if anyone is thinking of doing it! as nike says, JUST DO IT!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
