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.

PM sent

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.

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.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
