OS Giken direct shifter ????

[cobrAA]

I bought an Os Giken direct shifter from a local member here for less than the price of a nismo solid shifter but I'm wondering if it's the samething?

I actually bought it without being sure what it was LOL, I just know os giken do QUALITY stuff so this shifter must work perfectly fine but I'm not 100% what it is, more like a nismo solid shifter or a short shifter?

Anyone know about this item?

[archaeic_bloke]

lol, best way to buy stuff ever!... that way it'll be like a surprise when you open the box! LOL... Maybe I'll try ordering a mystery item too,

i didnt even know OS made a shifter... post pics when you get it!

I don't think OS Giken makes a shifter. I'd be willing to bet it's a C's short shifter. But who knows until you see what you get.

cool, learn something new everyday :P

I think that is probably an older part out of production now. Looks pretty cool though!

So here's the picture.. but I have a problem.. I didn,t know there was no thread to screw the shifter knob on the shaft. you guys have an idea what can I do?

1) ghetto style: put lots of 3m blue gum inside the knob and have it secured ( a bit like hot glue and a hockey shaft..)

2) have 4 inch cut and reweld it with a threaded end so I can screw my knob inside ?

[archaeic_bloke]

bring it to a shop, tell them to cut it and weld on the top half of your OEM stick... that way you know for the future any knob will fit.

wait, so you cant use that white knob thats in the pic?

or you just want to run a different one?

I paid big bucks to have the V-SPEC R34 shifter to match my V-spec pedal and be a v-spec theme. so there's no way I will be shiftinh a cheap white looking plastic knob!

[gtrjon]

okay well like the other guys said bring iit to a shop and have them weld on the top half of your oem shifter and you can have your r34 vspec shifter

Pretty cool shifter kit. Looks almost like a std throw but a taller shifter. Let us know how she feels and if its a shorter throw
