hanyou - They are very easy to install. You should be able to do it yourself in around 40 minutes. Heres a link to a tutorial by prank for installing a C's short shifter. CLICK HERE

If your not confident with D.I.Y then any mechanic should be able to do it for you in around 20-30mins.

:D

No Probs guys. Whenever your ready.

Just to let you all know - I can get C's shifters to suit most cars!!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

:(

will a kit for a R33 GTS-t fit in my R33 GTS? or are they too different?

is the actual 'stick' shorter also or just the throw?

(i like the stumpy look for a gearstick and i don't want to chop mine)

It should fit your R33 GTS no probs.

The stick is about 1cm shorter and the there is a 30% reduction in throw.

:)

Can your guy bring in other parts too?

HEHEHE

My suppliers/contacts can bring in alsmost anything :)

We can take orders for used or new parts for Skylines too.

Only gets good brands like ORC, HKS, Cusco, OS, ATS.

Also brand new - Hybrid - Apexi - HKS - Greddy/trust - MOMO.

:P

these short shifters don't wreck gearboxes or anything?

Sydneykid posted this in another shifter thread .

The short shifter itself can not cause harm to the gearbox. It simply changes the ratio between how far your hand moves (on the gear knob) and how far the linkage moves. Obviously, it also increases the amount of effort you have to exert to move the gear lever (there is less leverage after all).

It is worth pointing out at this point that the selector forks do not move any more or any less with a short shifter installed. They still go just as far "in to" and "out of" gear. This is controlled by the detents and the synchro hubs. The gear lever is irrelevant. As ylwgtr2 pointed out, you can over extend the synchro hubs by pushing on the gearlever with your hand while a gear is engaged. But that is again the same for short and standard shifters.

The only way you can get damage to the gearbox is if you stuff up the gearchanges. If you try and shift faster than the synchros will allow, then you most certainly will damage them. But that is no different whether you have a short shifter or a long shifter. It might be a bit easier to "beat the synchros", but that is still driver error. Although some would argue it is in fact harder to stuff up as you need to exert more effort to move the lever and you get better feed back. So you can better feel the synchros engaging.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
