Nismo is a shorter throw than the Stock.

If u want shorter than Nismo, get the C's shifter.

Keep in mind, you will wear out syncros faster with a short shifter.

things i know:

nismo 10% less throw

c's 30 % less throw / shorter shift stick

[davib]

woah it wears out ur syncros!!?!?!

[GTR32GUS]

I got a C`s one and it is mad i love it , the gear knob stays at the same height or very close to it

[SinistR33]

Short shifters are engineered to not wear out syncros. Hence the weight and the manufacturing of the stem.

C's is shorter than the stock shifter and you can feel the different.. 30% less throw.

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

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.
