Gearbox Model 2000 Rs4S

[c34Florry]

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

RS4S uses R33 GTR Gearbox

Hey staglover, where are you getting your short shifter from? I'm thinking of getting one too.

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

Haha spot on.. I didnt even notice. Just boils down to who I should give my money to then

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

i sit just the Diffs which are smaller in comparison to the GTR 33

[Ben C34]

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!

What?

Anyway you wanted an adjustable short shifter. You haven't found that yet.

I'm trying to save you money.

[c34Florry]

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

Let him shag his syncro's Ben. It's his coin...

A quick search would have saved us all time though...

At least he'll know what type of gearbox to look for 8mnths down the track, when his gearbox crunches & rattles!!!!

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?
