mad082 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 may i ask why you want one? and have you driven a car with one before? the reason i ask is because i had always thought of getting one until a mate got one. i didn't like it at all. made the gears feel more notchy. i didn't like it at all.

I put GFB short shifters in both of my previous WRXs, I just like the shorter throw even though it may take a little more effort, the GFB ones are also adjustable in the amount of throw they have , I prefer just off the shortest which is just off the harder to shift end. I have'nt driven or had one in a Skyline but I imagine the same scenario will be in play hence my question about type of shifter to see if some may be friendlier than others.

BASHO Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I've got a C's short shifter in mine and a solid gearbox mount. I don't like a sloppy box. It's nice and toight now The only C's ones I coud find were for R33s and RRPing at around $760.00+frieght which is more than I'm prepared to pay by a long chalk, do you know if the R33 C's ones are a fit for the R34GTT box ? If they are and a second handy pops up I might have a go at it.

J34 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I don't think the R33 one would fit but you should be paying alot less than that for one. Keep shopping around.

mad082 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 oh i should mention that the one my mate got was a cheapy off ebay for about $100, but that shouldn't alter the feel of the shifter much as 2 shifters with the same through should feel about the same.

RusH_ Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for that, wouldn't know of any locals as well by any chance ? Well driftshop.com.au sell a C's 'Design' short shifter, reducing throw by 30% and also a B&M short shifter, but neither say they are compatible with R34's I wouldn't mind getting one myself, but want to get something that is more than a 10% throw like the nismo one, im not sure if the one on RHD is the 10% or a 25% decrease in shift though. J34, mind telling us where you got yours? or did it come with the car?

J34 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I got mine from Nengun a couple years back but I had a quick look and it doesn't look like they sell them anymore.

BASHO Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'm presuming that the one that reduces the throw 10% is just a shortened version of stock and the 25% or so reducer is the kit version ???????????? I EM'd Driftshop yesterday and am waiting a reply. I wonder if there would be enough interest to get a small group buy up and running ?

mad082 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i know this is going to start a shit storm, but you can make a short shifter simply by cutting down the stock shifter. it's simple physics. by the way, anyone who doesn't agree, feel free to argue this because i have diagrams and pictures proving i am right, LOL. had this arguement many many times before.

Absolutely correct hence my previous post and the 10% question, a genuine short shift requires the movement of the pivot point of the gear lever itself which I presume the scandalously priced "kits" do here is one example of a trader who should be rooted with thier short shiter just on the price alone as an example. http://www.300zx.com.au/pricelists/pricelist_gtrgearbox.htm Edited September 23, 2009 by BASHO Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289011-short-shifter-for-r34gtt/#findComment-4842497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
