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...

Even if your synchros are in good condition .... I heard that the short shifters help to adjust that :(

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!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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 🍻
