Nismo Short Shifter?

[BigJack]

I found this: http://www.thenismoshop.com/ikorb.php?func=catalog&category_id=1255&product_id=11793

Just wondering if anyone has it or has ever used it. I've heard from some people that B&M short shifters are too aggressive and too short, well instead of a 40% shortening, this is 10%. Heres the info:

By hardening the inner rubber of a standard shift lever, the amount of deflection is decreased. At the same time, the lever length was reduced by about 7.5mm, providing a stroke 10% shorter. This changes the rather soft touch of a standard car to a much more precise, fast feeling. At the same time, while the goal is to change to a quicker shift, an overly short shift stroke will result in poor, heavy shifting. Unlike a quick shift, the lever ratio has not been changed, so the transmission syncro is not effected and a moderately faster degree of shifting is possible.

Installation is easy because the solid shifter has the same basic dimensions as the standard shifter.

get a weighted shift knob
gives it more momentum.
plus that.

$218 for only a 10% reduction?
Waste of money, IMO.
Will had a C's shifter in his coupe, always told me he fucking loved it, and IIRC it was a decent amount cheaper than that.
I have an Ebay shifter in my car, its not that bad. Hell, I'll sell it if you want a SS.

You can do alot more for that amount.
$218 is a bushing kit, welded diff, drift button, some new plugs, and an oil change.

piss you deserve reps. haha

but yeah i already repped you tonight

haha im pretty sure a weighted knob would kill your synchros in the long run.

takes more pressure to force into gear. force into gear = eat synchros. shifting is meant to be slowly pressed into gear till it gets sucked in. not forced into gear like everyone who owns a 240 does. i honestly shift without the clutch about half the time on the streets. even downshifting.

smooth as butter too.

course, i sit in traffic and grind my 1st gear for fun and to make people look at me :P lol

I know that so retarded its not like you are going to faster by doing that.

[Ironmonkey]

most of the nismo short shifters are "solid" shifters...making your shift a lot crisper....i like mine a lot....

[Casey]

theres a reason why we have mush in our shifters from the factory...

what good is contesting someone if you dont emphasize on your theory

you are the worst debater in the history of earth casey

casey you're always so right:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: :bowdown:
props to you mad gangsta.:wiggle:

[shawn shawn]

I drove an s14 w/ a short shifter once.... no clue what kind. I hated it!


Maybe im used to the mile long shifts of a normal shifter.
