i doubt that u really have a 180SX.  i think u mean to say that u have a 240SX Fastback, or S13 FB.

unless u actually imported a REAL 180SX from japan, or wherever overseas...

jspec.com sells the C's short shifter, but, last time i checked, they were on backorder.  u could try eBay for the OBX shifter, or pdm-racing.com, but it has a history of breaking into 2 pieces.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

don't forget B&M, probably cheaper than the C's, dunno about how much better it is. My friend has used a C's before and he says that they are overpriced, and that he'd rather get a B&M.

Just to clear this up..  the new OBX SS does NOT break like the older one.  They fixed this problem.

Best Short Shifter = B&M - $250
Best SS for the Money = OBX - $80

That title is kind of a tease..  WHERE ARE TEH PICS MAN?!

Mtt22 · 08-23-2002, 05:00 PM

cool, welcome, im up near barrie, woo ontario.....

240Degrees · 08-24-2002, 01:52 AM

i dont think a short shifter would be too beneficial in autox or any of that type of racing.  u should get the longest shift knob as possible so u can reach the wheel and shifter as quickly as u can.  Look at professional racers even the drag racers.  The have the shifters really high, close to the steering wheel.

If you put a taller shift knob on the 240 like in "Rally" cars, you would probably hit the dash..  not a good idea..

For normal people who do not have sequential shifters/trannys, Short Shifters are wonderful things. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

He meant a shorter throw...

Also for a firmer shift Nismo sells one but it doesnt shorten the throw at all.
