Hi Guys,

Has anybody else had problems with their short shifters?

Mine seems to have broken... I have never shifted hard with it at all and the top part (where the gear knob screws on) has come away from the bottom part (which drops down into the gearbox) - it still works, theres a rod from the bottom half which slides up the inside of the top half which allows it to still function, but i am not happy about it breaking.. its only about 6 months old.

It wasn't in a box tho when i got it, so perhaps its not a Genuine C's?

had mine well over 6 months, and all is good touch wood. Mine came in a box new.

Does it have any C's markings on it at all? mine came in a plastic bag with just a C's Guarentee card and the bits needed to fit it.

looks original enough for me, bought one before but didn't put it on decided to sell it again. it looks like it uses some glue between the two parts. can't u just glue them back with some kind of glue that will work with metal parts?

Agree with RS73....looks to have been bonded in place and glue's only partly taken. Shouldn't happen on a new part. Simple job to repair yourself, just remove as much of the old glue as possible from both parts (hard to do in a hole, of course), then roughen up the surfaces with emery/sandpaper before re-glueing. I'd try something like 24hour araldite (NOT the 5min stuff, which is crap).

Of course, if you think you've got a chance at a guarantee/warranty claim, do that first....

C's is now out of business, so no Warranty claim. :)

The fiancee is out shopping tonight, I have her picking me up some silicon based adhesive as I have drag combat on saturday (thank god i decided not to run!!)

Thanks guys,

Christian

you own and drive a gtr so use it in the right enviroment.

whoa, i wish you were in Sydney to see the 'PranK GTR Driving Style'. :P:)

the general rules are; because you love your car, spend as long as possible in it, so no speeding, in fact - go UNDER the speed limit. And also because you love your car and own a GTR, dont even THINK of dong anything that would jeopardise your license status and/or premium raise. :rofl:

You have nothing to worry about with me.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

btw i've got a mines short shift on mine and it jammed halfway through the gate into third at sandown last sat. Maybe nissan OE is the go?

Well, since mine broke today, I called a few mates at some workshops and they were almost all of the opinion that the nissan stocker is much better for the g/box and to shift with (I have my stocker in the garage).

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
