Is My Nismo Solid Shifter On R33 Correct?

[chrisdicko23]

i have just installed my nismo shifter into my R33 Series 2 Skyline.. Im not exactly sure if all the original shifter parts are there. i have started by putting the wavy circular bit of metal in the shaft first, then applied the yellow plastic bit for the shifter to slot into. the shifter had come with a circular bit of plastic alread on the shifter that slotted into the yellow bit from before... i then put the two metal circular thingos into the shaft to hold the shifter down.. the end result is that the shifter can move upwards about 3mm or so and go back down.. is there supposed to be slight movement or is it supposed to be pretty tight????????? Thanks guys!

Pics will help

But I think your talking about there being movement up and down (a small gap between the top shifter plastic retainer and circlip). If so I know mine (Custom Solid short shifter I made from the standard shifter) has a small amount of play, I dont think its anything to worry about if it still shifts gear fine and the movement isnt excessive

There should be a metal spacer that sits in the bottom before everything else goes in...if you've bought this second hand, chances ard it's sitting in the box it came out of...I know because I bought a 2nd hand C's shifter and it didn't come with the spacer so I had the same up and down movement you've got...

Edit, I thought you wrote 3cm not 3mm...3mm is about normal. Same as mine after I fitted the spacer...
