Hi guys, just after some info on short shift kits for the R33....

Just seeing what brands you guys are using your experience with them, Im thinking about getting a C's short shift from Atomicbomberman (30% shorter) over the 10% shorter nismo item... Comments appreciated,

Lepperfish... :burnout:

i've got one... not sure what brand but if i have a 25 box, it's VERY short and it's harder on the box i reckon.

You have to be precise with your shifts or they can crunch on not go into gear...

maybe redline oil might fix mine?

but ATM it's rough, but i'm used to it now. Plus my box is well used, that probably doesn't help.

PM dj_lethal... he just got one in his 33. Was around the same tightness as my box, but i think mine it a big tighter

i got a short shifter with the car - never compared it to a non-short shifted one.

I think the throw is not all THAT short actually. I think mine might be a Nismo one if it is only 10% shorter

What other brands of short shifters are available in Japan (so I can narrow down the brands)? The only ones i hear thrown up around here are the C's and the Nismo ones.

I've a C's one in for a long time now....wouldn't be without it .By comparrison the normal shift feels really long and sloppy. Ihave heard that you need to check if you'r getting Nismo.... there is a 10% and a 30%.

i got one with my car and its ALOT shorter than all the other skyline box's ive had a go on so it must be the 30% one. its alot nicer to drive and gives the car a much nicer feel as the gearing is precise and there is no play/sloppyness.

also makes it easier to slam through the gears quickly.

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
