I put C's short shift kit in my GTS-t gearbox a while ago and it made grinding noise... like the gears don't engage properly with it. Not sure what was wrong ended up taking it out and re-selling it to someone else, who seems to be happy with it as I haven't heard any problem from him.

Was wondering if Nismo one will have less problem (?) as it's made by a Nissan tuning house, instead of some 3rd party garage like C's who may have "overlooked" something when designing these short shifter?

Yep thats what i was going to say..pretty much along those lines...People that have used them said they are too short and "some" people have had problems with them and i heard also the C's shifters werent too good for the gearbox since they were so short..not sure if that was 100% true thoe.

be prepared to pay the big bucks for the nismo item.

I saw nismo short shifter for JPY 14784 from greenline, excluding shipping,

which works out to be around $185 + shipping.

That'll be less than the $300-400 ppl normally pay for C's shifter.

the nismo one that came with my car seems not as 'smooth' as a regular shifter, but i think it is shorter - albiet feeling only a little bit shorter.....

The c's shortshifter should definitely come in a marked box, kind of purple with the C's logo printed. They ALL come like that in Japan - saw it for myself. Shops were selling off all the C's shifters cheaply (cos they are now disappeared), but too bad there were only Pajero and Celica GT4 ones left....

Mine came from Taka Kaira in C's marked box with instructions in Japenese,....easy to sus it out though. No problems after more than 12 months including 5 or 6 sprint sessions and a couple of dozen drag meets.

theres 2 different types of nismo shifters -

solid shift - 16,000yen rrp - 10% shorter throw

quick shift - 34,000yen rrp - 25% shorter throw

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      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

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
