i had seen this,

be interested to see how it works. and how easy it is to intall - (im sure its easy to bolt on, but to get it to work)

id be more interested if it used the standard steering wheel.

[garetb16]

having a further read, they explain it plugs into the factory loom. and there is the option of using the standard nissan wheel.

sounds all too good to be true. if you watch the video of it in the 350z looks quite good.

maybe we can do a group buy, id like to see the kit of what comes with it and how hard it is to tap into the factory loom.

Yeah, see that Works Bell kit a bit on Yahoo Auctions.

Can't help but think that a V35 OEM paddle shift would end up cheaper, would bolt straight in (I imagine as they both have the same steering column) and looks/feels damn good too!

And found the pic of this front bar,one of the best bars I've seen in a M35 + this other one (is this color stock?)nice...very nice.

sounds like we need to do a bit of research mate. i didnt even know that you could get the paddle shift on the v35.

Left = Freeway/Dolphin

Right = Nismo modified with R32 intake ducts. Not sure on the grill... seen it before somewhere, just can't put my finger on where

Yeah, my mates V35 GT8 has the paddles. Damn nice paddles I must say.

Will get a part number if I can get FAST working today

how would it go plugging in though?

Pretty easy I would imagine since the V35's use the same steering wheel and steering column as we do.

paddle shift were a factory fitted feature of the CVT V35 skyline

only available in black interior tho i think

Good news for those of us with a good looking interior

[zei20l]

eff off a-hole

[garetb16]

we dont have CVT though.

would that matter?

[zei20l]

its just a set of switches that can be hooked up to the tiptronic switches on the gear shifter. easy!

actually, its probably the same as the CVT + and - wiring.

[garetb16]

i wonder if we could even install buttons on the other side of the wheel. like small push buttons.

if it is only + and - wiring.

would love to have paddle shift.

[zei20l]

it would be good if the gearbox wasnt so friggen slow at shifting. actually it would be REALLY good if it shifted quickly

[iamhe77]

True, if our trans shifted gears as quickly as the CVT trans "changed gears" (practically immediate), then the paddles would be great.

OR you could just get one of the shift kits fitted (of for guys from the other states, send down your bits, have them updated and shipped back for installation)

[garetb16]

your right.

the change speed is a little dismal.

with that change kit and the paddles, would make it pretty good.

on the link at the very top there is a you tube clip of the kit fitted to a 350z, it changes quite well in that.

[zei20l]

im told even with a shift kit using the tiptronic doesnt have the effect youd think

i rekon the auto has an ECU that delays the input from the + and - to make it more sluggish.........

[southern_tango]

Maybe you know about this...but I remembered somebody from the forums installed one,hope it helps :
