Just installed my "C's short shifter", ordered from japan through Unique Auto Sports.

And what a bloody differance.:P

It has turned the feel of my R33 from a luxury sports car to a true sports car. The throw, of the shift, is just perfect and the box actually feels alot tighter. Took my car around Calder Park (Melb.) on the weekend and the speed of my shifts dramatically improved, even my mates watching from the side line heard the difference.

I would recommend this upgrade to anyone.

Note: Your synchro's must apparently be in good condition

Forget about the NISMO short shifter it is only 10% shorter and barely noticable.

And yes it is a bit pricey but i have absolutely no regretes and no problems recommending it.:jump:

Shameless plug:

I'm bought a couple of C's Short Shifters whilst I was in Japan, and selling them for $450 each plus shipping...

Even if your synchros are in good condition .... I heard that the short shifters help to adjust that :(

Damn!!!

I wish i found this site earlier:mad:

Yeh great your a genius you know what double clutching is. Thay wasnt my question. Perhaps i should clarify.

But what is over selection, putting too much stress on selection forks??? or is it going to 5th when wanting third, 2nd when wanting 4th. I havent heard this term before.

I have the C's short shifter too and when my car is cold 2nd really crunches - even at low revs.

My car came with this from Japan so I can't compare to the original shifter but I can say it does feel good shifting with it (when it's warm). Very tight feeling and quick to shift.

overselection is putting pressure on the shift fork past the gear engagement point. Resting your hand on the gear stick when driving does this as well. The overselection may will wear the weakest part, some gearboxes this is the shift fork others the gear/syncros.

i just installed one in my car on thursday night, and i must admit it was one of the best $500 i have spent (so merli's ones would be a bargain!)

Feels really nice now, nice and direct... i was a bit worried about installing it, but when i was doing it it wasn't so bad at all (hardest bit was removing two c clips!)..

I took pictures while i was doing it, but my cable modem is dead, and i am not sitting on dial up to upload them :P i will try on monday though..

so if anyone is thinking of doing it! as nike says, JUST DO IT!

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
    • Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.
