also it's worth to mention that when i installed mine, i had to get a new plastic bit that goes on the bottom on the short shifter... the one i had supplied was a bit smaller and that would of made the gear stick feel loose.

the new part was purchased from local nissan dealer and was around $10 mark...

see attached pics for part number

^^^ I had the same problem as WhitePrincess, except my little cap fell off while driving! The result was a super loose gear stick and the cap somewhere in the gearbox, luckily it had not gone far and I was able to get it out. Ended up using the original one.

Also the allen key bolts supplied from *generic shonky ebay trader* were too short to attach the 'banana clips', after two hours of straining and cursing I had the bright idea of buying some longer ones, problem solved.

Good write up BTW

Hasy anybody cut their short shifter lever to make it nice and short?

Would it make the shifter crappy because of the way its designed?

im thinking about it, but havent done it... want to cut an inch of it...

Yes it looks a bit like a truck with it being so long...

I think its designed to have most of its weight near the bottom and a long shifter to give it the short throw feeling? so im not sure how it will be when i cut it...

it would be a bit harder to shift the gears as not as much throw will be there

I HAD THAT EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE LITTLE BUSH THAT WAS SUPPLYED FELL OF INTO MY GEARBOX AND HAD TO FISH IT OUT.

SWAP IT FOR ORIGINAL PART AND FOLLOW THESE INTRUCTIONS AND PHOTO'S AND YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS. :)

That part should only be around $5. As you can see in the picture it is smaller than your old one. The correct part should be about the same size and I've been quoted $12 but wasn't too sure if it is the right one. Does anyone have the part number for the correct replacement?

dude, that's why the photo is there for... part number...

white(small) bit was purchased with the short shifter; yellowish(bigger) bit was my original which i broke and the plastic bag is from the new one that i bought at nissan and was sitting inside of the gearbox at the time when the it was all pictured :)

white, I just looked at my old receipt again. Nissan gave me the smaller white rubber bit. Their computer record has this part for the RB25dett gearbox. Part number is 32861-H7301. The first 5 numbers are the same, hence the above confusion. Thanks for the clarification :)

To get past the lower bush I simply grabbed a beer and rubbed it on the smooth concrete for a while then sanded it and it fit perfectly. I havent taken it for a drive yet but I noticed the throw is much shorted, but at the same time the actual gearstick is MUCH longer (higher) which sucks ass, anyone cut/modified theirs?

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
