Shortest Short Throw?

[Oakville]

Which is the shortest short throw for the GTR (hopefully works with both BNR32 and BNR34 tranners)?

I know I cant really compare a 22 year old car with a 5 month old car, but my dad's knob is in a spot where your wrist is practically resting on the console, its dope. Like to get something similar going on a Geeteearr.

the shortest can be up to u....buy a short throw kit and still cut it to trim height....

a G35 with a short shirter and a low mount knob, its so god dam low

[cobrAA]

Haha.. stupid low.

Just throwing this out there as its only word of mouth and I cant beack it up with evidence. Dont short throw shifters take a toll on your transmission? Forcing it to shift faster then it might sopose to?

I've been feeling that way too!! which is why i never bought one... again i have no evidence of this only just one observation...

on our R32 trans, they usually crunch between gear changes as they get older, but i drove an older one that had some crunching and as long as you shifted slowly and gave the synchros enough time to catch each other, then it wouldnt crunch, but if u try to shift super quick and slam it down, then it crunched 100% of the time.
therefore using that reasoning i concluded, faster shifting puts more wear and strain on already old synchros.

would cutting down the stock shifter be ok for the tranny i hate how stupid high it is and gets in the way of my dual din

[archaeic_bloke]

what do you mean "cut it down"?

if you cut from the top you'r cutting off the threads that hold the shift knob on... so how do u cut it down?

[Nismo_line]

ya i thought you would cut from top and maybe just weld it together or somthing i havent gotten that far yet lol

[amnash]

never used a tap and dye set before but could you not just use that to make new threads?

In my experience, really hard, quick shifts "ARE" hard on Synchros, they need time to do there job. As a driver, one would want to be smooth, the .2 of a second you save by ripping the shifter probably isn't the best way of saving your dream cars tranny. Just to put alittle evedince into my reasoning, in my Honda I have a short throw shifter. The trans will clip a gear alittle when speed shifting. On the drag strip I was actually slower in my 60 foot times and in the 1/8th because of the Harshness of Speed shifting. I got traction loss ripping on the shifter. If I was smoother,the car would bite in second, I was faster, It made no difference in the last two gears. So in the end, take it for what it is worth. I wouldn't waste the money. Try to be a better driver, don't rip out your synchros. Your engine and tranny mounts might also thank you.

i cut the thread part on my oem shifter and its pretty much 1" then i called i friend who is a machinist...i used to work for him and gave him my own created diagram of a shift knob.....now my shiftknob height is 1 inch lower than b4...i find it better in a way its more solid shifting but of course when it was stock i had a longer leverage and easy to throw the shifter....now shorter a little hard but more solid feel and i liked it that way coz it looks way better....

i post pics later

u can go that way but below the threaded area is bigger

[archaeic_bloke]

ever looked at the actual shifter lever? the long stick part... its not a uniform rod... its oblong

C's makes a wicked short shifter.
