Anyone know if the short shifter kits actually drop the height of the gearknob? lol i dont really care about the throw just want something thats not sitting up so high!! I see a NISMO on on nengun? anyone know if this is a lower height? thanks

I see what you’re asking. The answer is no. The position of the gear knob is the same height whether you have the stock one or Nismo/C's item.

  • My previous GTR had a Nismo - Gear knob the same height
  • My current GTR has a C's = Gear knob the same height.
  • I would not recommend using a short shifter on a daily driven street car as you know by now:

IT WILL SHORTEN THE OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF YOUR SYNCROS AND PUT ADDITONAL STRESS ON YOUR SELECTOR FORK.

I have a short shifter because I never really drive my car...just sits in my garage with an occasional burst at the track :P

The only way I can see you getting a lower height gear knob is to buy another selector (don't hack up your original one) and then shorten it slightly (most metal fabrication businesses will be able to do this). You don't want it too short otherwise you will require more force to select gears.

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.

    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
