How do you mean? If youre on about the 'fake' cheap **** you see on ebay etc, then most of them are designed on the C's shifters. Problem is most of them dont work as well, dont have the small tolerances of the C's and are generally just poor poor seconds.

C's YES :thumbs:
Copies / Cheap Tat NO :(

TBH tho, if it was me, Id either not bother, or get the Nismo Solid Shift.
You can beat the synchros on the standard lever, so whats the point of making the shift even quicker? Unless you deliberately want to wreck your nice and expensive Spec R 6 spd box :wack:

I haven't actually seen a 6 speed short shifter copy. All of the ones on ebay are for a 5 speed. They say S15 in the auction but I would guess they mean the N/A ones as I believe they came with the 5 speed instead of the 6 speed.

Your right, the NA S15 only has a 5 speed box.:nod:

What are these like in relation to notchiness, any worse than standard (when cold) ? Also i bet it makes getting into reverse harder ?

Have you got any pics Dazzoi?

Ive not seen any pics of the 6 spd specific ones

And re the probs getting into gear, Ive yet to drive a Nissan (yes, Primera included) that doesnt have its moments not wanting to go into 1st or reverse :wack: I always find holding the lever where its meant to be going and lifting the clutch slightly lets it drop in gear.

I don't have any problems getting into reverse,I just give it a firm wack to the right and its in. I don't find it notchy, in fact I find it firm and precise between gear changes. Love the feel on the track, where you need those quicker changes:thumbs:

I have driven Auss15's car with the short shifter and I have to confirm what he said. I am now waiting for the A$ to go back up and buy one.

Andy, noise definately got louder when it was fitted, i noticed it straight away! :) I think it's because you have to cut through a seal to fit it, which would have been a sound break.

If you pull one of the boots down and over the shifter mount plates, you will reduce the sound noticeably (check my photo guide).
