Ive been doing some searching on here about some short shifter kits

I really think nismo is the way to go

1. The kit says it reduced throw by 10%, is this even that noticeable, i used to drive a s15 and that had a much shorter throw than the 32

2. I also read on here that these kits wear out your syncros, is this true?? my gearbox feels a bit notchy going into 2nd, is this fixable

I have one. I noticed a difference but it is harder to shift. I am thinking about taking it out. If you know some one with one and ask if you can see have a look. There is no need to drive around the block. Have a feel and see if you like it before spending the money

short shift kits are a lot harder on syncros because the syncros are designed to synchronize the gear speeds with the time taken in moving the factory throw... by shortening the throw you make quicker gear changes and therefor syncros do not have sufficient time to synchronize gear speeds...

havnt worded that real well but i hope you get what im saying :D

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
