Check out this guru - good ol' Americans make me laugh 🤣

I knew there was a reason I was so sceptical about ever using a brass shifter bush....

 

This is the first I've heard of a brass shifter bushing failing and lunching a box

Maybe a monkey fisted install?

Maybe no lube during install, you need grease to lube that puppy...there's always time for lube

Maybe cheap poor quality  part?

This is the how to I used years ago > 

Meh, mine never failed and the shifter was tight like a tiger

Torque destroying gears, thats another story about 3 little cops, I mean 3 OEM gearboxes

Well does anyone have a Cube premium shifter in their car ?

Previous reviews mention C's that are not available anymore.

Yes I do in my HR31 with RB25 and R33 box and it is fantastic. Nice smooth, short shift and now never miss 2nd to 3trd with the heavier centreing springs. All for a round $200. Best investment I ever made as I use the car on the track and for roll racing where you need to do quick changes.

Yes the guy said he pushed down on it hard, so shitty install by a muppet user, but guaranteed it would've been a GKtech unit so quality I doubt was a factor.

Yeah the cube shifter looks awesome. The brass bush, not so much.

Not worth destroyed transfer cases over a $40 unnessary part ? If it falls into a rb25 box it's not going to do shit compared to a GTR losing a brass bush directly into the transfer chain like this guy has done.

I'll stick with the factory nylon one thankyou, as they just get ground into dust and don't damage anything.

For what it's worth, I ended up going with the Nismo quick shift and it is awesome. Solid, tight, and not too short of a shift. It's not quite Honda s2000 status (my favorite shifting car) but pretty close.  Granted I get my car worked on at Nismo Performance Center Tokyo so going with nismo was hard not to do lol. Cheers kanpai

I initially did like the feel of the Nismo 25% quick shifter, but have since pulled mine out of my 32 and just put the standard one back in - didn't really see the point.

As my 32 has a dog box it really just illustrates that synchro boxes for shifting can never compete with dog engagement, and a quick shifter doesn't really improve a hell of a lot with them. It is a good way to destroy synchros though.

To me installation of quick shifters feel like a big improvement on synchromesh transmissions, until you shift with dog engagement and realise it's not much of an improvement at all.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
