I bought one from Autobarn i think it wan an extreme or something. I'm at work at the moment and have the packaging at home. I payed around the $200 mark from memory. I to bought one from ebay WASTED my cash. Fitted in my self was a little tricky but got it in the end.

Don't know how the C's one is but mine does make a little noise through the shifter and if you have a metal gear knob can heat up a little to LOL as they don't have any of the noise and heat suppressing material on them.

Look I’ll be honest at the start i was like nop I can’t handle the noise but after a while got used to it. I love it can’t go back changing gears has never been more effortless.

thanks for the Info.

Yea, i m too bought 1 from ebay.

Installed onto my 300zx

it was good, but bit sticky when shifting.

Got alot of advices that C shifter are top of the range.

So i probly stick to it.

Nengun have it for 305 delivered, not too bad.

Cheers,

got 1 off ebay a few weeks ago, top stuff. shifting is not as short i would have expected but it did wonders for the r32 gtst changing feel.

[kudos.motorsports]

Sorry RBFIRE these are not a range I usually keep.

sauve, which particular shifter did you buy? If it's not branded or easily recognisable from the pack, which seller did you buy from?

Cheers!

Those ebay ones will fit the rb20,rb30 and sr20 bowes as far as i know.They have the smaller nylon bush at the bottom aposed as to the bigger one found on a rb25det box.

So does a gtr short shifter fit a rb25det box???

hey guys...ive been hearing that short shifters can affect if not damage the synchros in your gearbox...can any1 confirm if this is true?

and do short shifters have any other negative effects?

I don't think short shifters damage syncro's as much as the person driving does if you catch my drift.

I have heard from a couple of people that own GT-R's that they didn't like the shift quality with a short shifter but never heard bad reports from a GTS owner.

I had a genuine C's one in my car and loved it but it's now out due to my de-mod program. That's the only reason I've removed it otherwise it would have stayed in cause it rocked !! When I got it in Japan, I also got a special gear knob that looks & feels exactly like the stock nissan one but weighs quite a bit more. Makes for much more positive changes / syncro engagement.

P.S. It ( the genuine C's short shifter ) will be up for sale soon. Suits HCR32 ( also S13 I believe ) so keep an eye out on the Parts For Sale thread

[soopamarcus]

Hmm interesting Fat32...yeah as i said these were just rumours that i heard..but good to get feedback..anyone else confirm/deny this?

yeah the heavier gear knob feels excellent, i have one out of my mates SR20 180sx.

Randy, it was a generic one from automotorsports. they have a large range of automotive products, although they did not send me the chrome gear knob pictured. when I asked them about it, they agreed to send me a chrome gear knob and that one didn't fit. I didn't bother them any further as I got my mates stock one. Never get rid of your stock gear knob!!!

I installed the short shifter with aid from the write up in the tute section on SAU. Gear box feels way stonger now compared to the stock unit, which was very light and notchy. I do need to fix my clutch master cylinder though. I'm also planning to change the fluid over to redline shockproof, just for good measure :-)

I had a short shifter, went back to normal length... i'd never look back.

Stock throw IMO is better.

[RANDY]

automotorsports... where would I find them, and how much did you pay? My Redline oil arrived this morning, so if the notchyness goes, i'd be keen to go for a short-shifter!

Wow !!! That's amazing to hear that. After I going back to a normal throw gearshift from the C's Short Shifter, I feel like I'm changing gears in an Excel !! Yuck !!

But to each their own I guess

[Beer Baron]

the ebay ones are shit house. the genuine C's ones are very nice and a worthy addition to a skyline. definately worth the extra $$.

Yep

I think they are ok for the street. BUt when i was dragging mine regularly i would miss gears as your trying to move the thing fast as you can.

When its short, there was little room for error.

So it was changed and i was quite surprised. Smooth and direct gear changes everytime

My GTR came with one in it. I just love the feel and also suprise to find the difference with a normal throw shifter.
