Nismo Quickshift Fitting!

Evening All,

Can anyone help me? I've bought a Nismo quickshift kit for an S14 of Ebay but it has no instructions...

Will it be easy to see what goes where when I pull up the gaiter etc? Or will I muck it up and the gear lever come away when I change gear?

Please advise

Cheers

I wrote a guide for one of Bren's shifters. I'm not sure which style it is but have a look for posts by me and you'll find it.

Nismo don't make a quick shift for ref. (they do a solid shifter that looks the same as std but uses harder rubber)

Normaly you also need to get under the car to do these.

Yah, Nismo innit! Wikkid, that a liner?

Probably a knock off, especially as it's from ebay. How wrong can you make a short shifter though?

Is this the same mate?

Was tempted but it's only a minimal decrease in throw.

People in the past have had problems fitting these "Nismo" shifters

You're best off buying a proper B&M or similar from Apex (they also do their own short shifter that is cheaper and decent quality) or one of the other reputable traders on the forum

Yep the slit shift looks the same.

As it shows on there they don't list a quick shifter for the S14.

Nismo make a 'Solid Shift'.

Id like one of these. And will be selling my B&M knockoff whatever. Short shifts are no good for drifting.

Normally they translate it to "solid" shift rather than "slit"!

Looking at that picture on Ebay I can't see it fitting - looks like its for another gear box.
