hey guys just wondering if anyone can tell me some good shortshifter kits for r32 gtst. my laast r32 had a really shitty one or badly installed one so i'm not sure if most of the mare like that. My last r32's short shifter had heat coming up it which was freakin annoying especially in summer as it would make the car a sauna.

now just wanting to know if my kit had a crappy install or do some shortshifters do that. which ones do? which ones don't.

the only thing i liked about my last one was that it wasn't as tight/short a throw as some on the market have. my friends one is realy tight that i rekon it on moves 1-2cms from neutral to 1st. it was uncomfortable and didn't even know which gear i was in some times as the stick didn't seem like it moved at all.

any suggestions on good shortshifters with a good throw and not stupidly short/tight one. also ones that do not let hot air come up, where to get, and prices.

thanks guys.

yeah c's or nismo, c's has shorter throw but i went for nismo, looks like a stock item, and you know its going to work well,

from memory nismo is $220 (maybe bit more with shit exchange rate) you can choose between 10% reduce throw and 25%

C's is about $300-$350 (reduces throw 30%) from memory,

i wouldnt go any other brand then these 2.

Vinnie = a GTR gearstick connot be swapped into a GTS-T. You have a GTS-4. exactly the same driveline as a GTR so it fit.

Jakez88. I bought a C's short shifter for $250 brand new delivered from a trader on this forum (can't remember which one). I'm a mechanic and I rate this as a great buy for someone that really enjoys driving their car (not just being seen in it). It has the rubber insulation between the top and bottom shafts so there is no heat or noise/vibration transfer to the cabin. It gives a much more positive gear engagement and shift compared to the standard gearstick. And the old wives tale of short shifters destroying gearboxes is like a gun, It doesn't kill someone, It's the person weilding it. In short, It won't give you a performance upgrade at all but it is a fantastic driving experience upgrade. I've actually forgotten I have one until I drive someone elses and remember how nice my car is to drive.

I put one in mine (i think the same as one as this) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...ter-t21079.html. i liked it but the oil runs out going up hills. we didnt put a cover over the hole, then we tried to fit a small one but it just popped out when i changed gear. cant see how to fit the cover from the standard stick when the mount has only a small edge and it wouldnt stay on it. its fine on the flat but going up steep hills isnt. iv put the original stick back in for now till we modify the mount.

I used a couple of the circlips that were holding the old shifter in to space the block up. The 32gtst box has a shorter snout than the 33gtst box and as such that block doesn't clamp on properly.. you may find you have a 33gtst shifter..

When I put my shifter onto the 25 box it all fitted fine.

Normal price for a C's one on Sliding performance is 310 i think, go on ebay, i paid 80 for mine.

As far as i can tell its exactly the same in quality and the parts that come with it so good deal.

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.

      Wont start unless i have the pedal to the floor

      Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.

      Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
