My apologies if this has been covered before but I'm having a hard time fishing for this info..

im assuming the 5sp manual box for the c34 is the same as an r33 but which model? gt/t/r/st? Does anyone know of a model/part number for these trannies? The reason I ask is to find a suitable adjustable short shifter and I just want to make sute I get the right one before forking out da monies

Ive been trying to find an adjustable one but otherwise tossing up between:

"tossing up?" Exactly the same item RN595. $5 difference in price.

I vote keep your money and don't bother.

The shift speed has more to with the gearbox synchros than the throw of the shifter.

Its not just about the speed of the shift, its more about the feel

Oh well. Buy it and report back. It's 10 percent shorter with harder rubber, good luck noticing much other than the placebo affect because you spent money and it's nismo!

Im just saying that my question was to do with the gearbox model because I was after a short shifter. Not 'what's some opinions on short shifters?'. Each to their own though, I understand. Also, yes, I would like an adjustable one. Though im not sure they exist, Im not going to settle for my preference for second best just cos I cant find what I'm after straight off the bat. Sorry if my crappy analogy offended in any way, shape or form.

Ps. I appreciate you trying to save a brother some coin :D

I have taken all your advice btw and I thank you all for it. I realise that I obviously need to do more research before taking any leaps of faith.. this is all new to me. I'm the first to say that I know far from everything and I'm treating everything as a learning curve. After reading my comment again, it does come across quite cocky (which it wasnt meant to be) and I apologize. The last thing I want to do is piss people off who are trying to help me out.. I love these forums as a knowledge base, please dont cast me off for something I'm not because of a misinterpreted comment. What more can i say?

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
