My New Shifty Is Here :)

[whtbox]

Well on Friday went to post office and picked up a box from japan. Can't wait to get home and opened it.

then installed it this morning after 1 hour later... wallah!

It work as it was Advertised and I'm very happy now with the Pedal Shift It got No lags, pretty much instant and shorter too. I hate when you do manual shifting on the gear stick you have to push it further in.

Now all i have to do to put some coin in my AU$100 note piggy bank for Valve Body upgrade

Looks great but...

The position looks a bit awkward... too low IMHO. Is it because it's actually designed for Z33 instead of V35?

Also, is a Valve Body upgrade is required for this shift kit?

Also, can you post a DIY step instructions how you wire the whole thing in 1 hour? Thanks

no the design is for both Z33 and V35. if you see the piece of paper template is for both model Z33 and Skyline ( in japanese)

Valve body upgrade is not required for this kit unless you want an instant shift like normal manual car which cost like US$1000.

1 hour installation is because i have to drill the kit to fit perfectly on behind the steering wheel.

the DIY instruction pretty much taken from this sites.

Works Bell installation on 350z

but they are pretty much the same.

all i did is to get the power connection from the lighters.

I saw a video on youtube, doesn't seem to rotate with the steering wheel isn't it?

Does it feel awkward?

It is easy to install with all the tools you need is drill bits and screw driver. which took about 1 hour to install.

I bought it from this site

nope i feels it fine not many cars these days to rotate with the steering wheels. it because the safety as well i guess. as you learn during the track day, you not suppose to shift gears during the corners.

Yeah seems like its a bit low and would be awkward and it dosnt move with the steering wheel.

Isn't that the OEM paddle shift that came with the V35 GT-8 ?

I heard if you're installing it onto a coupe then the car is not pre-wired yet and therefore it will need some sort of 'Chris Rogers' treatment...

[whtbox]

yes this one came with all pre wired for the V35 that don't have the paddle shifter. it also arrived with the High quality CF paddle shift. very easy to install. all harshness is prepared all you need is the power and the ground cable to be wired somewhere else, which i chose the cigarette lighter.

i did look into the new V36 paddle shift but the cost is too expensive. while i paid for AU$500 shipped when the AU$ was high, not sure about now.

[rs73]

lucky you, with the crappy interest rate right now it'll cost almost $700 excluding delivery...

i paid a freaking $900 EMS delivery for a set of 4 rims delivery from japan due to the poor exchange rate, and now only 2 got delivered, the other 2 still sitting up there cos the 'importer' are waiting for the A$ to come back up... heck, I'll be darn if I have to wait a year for the other 2! not happy Jan!

it shouldnt be your fault that the aussie dollar dropped

perfect example is the situation with my rims

i paid a deposit at the 102 yen price

have to wait 3 months for the suckers to get made.

anyways, the aud drops, the guy who is brigning the rims in is loosing at least 1k on them or there abouts. nothing he can do i paid for them they are mine bring them in.

[funkymonkey]

sorry not having a go at you or your latest aquisition...

but you guys are willing to pay $600 and more for two levers that connect to a SPTT which wires up to the plus and minus on your gearbox's wiring harness? why isn't someone making this in australia? surely there's a big enough market with 350Z owners alone?

[scathing]

There aren't that many auto 350Z's. For years, if you wanted Brembos you had to get a manual. Even now, having Brembos means no auto option.

The only Aussie 350Zs I regularly hear about with slushboxes are the roadsters, and it's not like hairdressers care for flappy paddles.

Yeah it sucks... it was like 52 yen with the rate last week, so I'm finding out from my importer what rate they quoted me on, hopefully it wasn't too high like 80+, as that will mean I'm gonna have to wait for some time before seeing the other 2 rims...

This week it's gone up to 62-63 yen again, so hopefully it will be a bit better soon...

[whtbox]

afterall this collumn shifter also just release and that's how long it takes Works bell to developed this (due to low market reason i guess).

But with all the japanese rate and US$ up. All is hard to shop now. Have to look for OZ ebay now , or get what ever is available in Australia.
