So, my instructions are in japanese and I can't decipher them. Right now I've taken the interior pieces off, and the boot that is bolted (4 bolts) to the frame. For the life of me I can't figure out how to continue on with this, so, anyone whos put a Nismo short shift kit in, help?

Alright, I got it in. Do you have a pic of what the short shifter looks like compared to stock? I don't see or feel any difference in the shifting.

i dont think nismo makes a short shifter. i think its just an oem replacement shifter under nismo. not sure though if someone can clarify...

Well my instructions are in Japanese only, but the shifter itself looks exactly like the one I just pulled out, and I don't feel any difference.

Did I get scammed? Or just an ignorant seller? Opinions?

it's far from a short shifter.

all it does is stiffen your shift throws. Hence, Nismo Solid Shifter.

Should of stuck with B&M.

No such thing as a Nismo short throw shifter. It may have a Nismo sticker on it but it's made by OBX/Pilot/Mookeh/etc.

The Nismo unit for the S13/S14 is a 'solid' shifter, with a heavier counterweight for more firm throws. Shift length is unchanged.

The $200 units are made by C's and sold through Nissan Motorsports.

Russ just said that there indeed is a Nismo shifter, but it's not a short shifter.

Nismo shifter = solid shifter that firms up shifts, not a short shifter.
