You sold yours pretty quick didn't you? Do they run an oem shifter guide plate? Not sure if not running one effects anything or not.

Just saying not everyone is taking the casing off or cutting it. I think an ls1 with a cd009 is considered a swap? Just not a good one obviously. I just wanted to see if there was a way to tell if my g35 had a cd009 that I didn't know about yet with out pulling it apart, since no one has a straight answer if 05 g35s have them or not. Sorry I didn't know what diagram shows the difference between the two in the 64 pages. lol Settle down bud

I used mine for one season, only because the s999 ones where not out in time and the cbf one wasnt to easy to get. The GK sat way to far back for my liking, especially since I installed my jz as close to the fire wall as I could.

But when I installed the GK shifter first, I had the bracket not quite right, and this made 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear not fully engage, allowing them to pop out easily, I re adjusted the bracket and they then it worked, I only used the shifter for 3 events last year.

Hey guys,

So like I said previously we have a limited amount of our SRVQ bellhousinsgs left, so if you were thinking of picking up a kit now is the time to do it because we won't receive our next batch for 6 weeks!

PM me or email me at [email protected] for a quote!

That sucks, did it have to do with the 350z and g35 shifter mounting points being different? Also don't you have to cut the shifter shaft down for the gktech shifter as well? Luckily I got a serialnine one when they came out, although the newer redesign would be nice since side to side movement is nonexistent in their v1.

Same here got a chance to buy two, sold the other for $700 almost got the other for free.

Lol people spending $700 on a shifter when the $300 Mazworx or $230 GKTech both work well. That's cool you were able to profit tho.

With development of our FAVQ kit we're actually looking into redesigning the SRVQ shifter to be adjustable and considerably shorter. We're thinking about having multiple shifter positions on the same bracket and have multiple linkages, or simply making on short linkage with an adjustable handle which you see a lot in the domestic market.

Ehh I will gladly spend $450 for the serialnine, i wish it wasnt so much but thats the way it goes. The maxworx ($225)one sits way to far back for any swap, only uses the two top mounting points, does not include a lever meaning its stock throw and you have to shorten the striker rod. The gktech one looks too light and toyish? Maybe i am wrong, but you have to shorten the striker for this as well. Personally i like the design of the serialnine not needing to cut the striker and with the bearing for smooth consistant feel. But that is why we have options, everyone can buy the shifter that meets their goals and budget.

Good to see its getting a redesign to keep up with competition

Good point. That's going to be the first thing I check. I had an operator error when I installed it initially which wouldn't allow me to shift into 1st, 3rd or 5th. Hopefully it'll be something simple and not a bent shift fork.

IKR, dint really want to sell it but she offered me that price and I dint hesitate. Don't know if I did a mistake since its a one time parts (discontinue?) oh well maybe its the only one in Malaysia now...

I got my CBF for 185

Yeah I'll be honest, the mazworx shifter that came with my kit was garbage IMO. Glad they're making a new one.

Went GkTech myself and it shifts into each gear perfectly. Wasn't difficult to trim a little bit off the selector rod. Easier than having to take the stock linkage somewhere to get welded.

Agreed. It took me 30 seconds to trim the selector. Actually took me longer to unravel the cord for the angle grinder than it took me to cut it...

And mine shifts perfectly fine outside of the car. Will shift even nicer with the synchros spinning.

Why did you guys trim the selector rod? I didn't have any issues with the gktech shifter.

Works fine if you are sr. You are jz so it's gonna be pushed back. Serial nine is what you need.

Hey guys,

Just to keep everyone in the loop we're down to one bellhousing left so if you were thinking of grabbing a kit this spring this is your last chance! We'll be backordered for about 6 weeks.

[KyleT]

Haven't been in here in a while. But everyone who ordered a cbf shifter definitely get your money back! That guy is a complete joke. I had paid for two of them back in august and had been in contact with him every month and he would tell me the same thing. He told me end of January the group buy was over and orders would be shipped out. Fast forward to march and I finally laid into him and he told me the same thing. I've talked to multiple people and have gotten the same story from him.

I got refunded for both shifters and went straight to touge factory and ordered two serialnine shifters. They were backordered but I heard from them this week and they just got a big shipment in.

Lmao same here brother that guy is terrible. Ordered beginning of December and my story is literally what you wrote down word for word. Getting my refund tomorrow!

[TheRealSy90]

Meanwhile, GkTech identified a quality control issue with 2 of the first 200 cd009 shifters they sold. As a result they are replacing all 200 of those shifters with a newer revised version free of cost.
Now that is commendable.

how do u know which one u got? mine still in box. thanks for sharing
I meant anyway we can tell by eyes they were the first 200? I'm just starting to collecting the parts so no way I can tell it will engage or not.

[godrifttoday]

Gktech is very helpful however they had an issue with the high clearance sway bar , it was too long! He said he would send me a replacement ... I haven't seen anything in months

[fatduece]

Interesting. Now I'm wondering if my shifter is one of the bad ones. What did they find out? This z33 conversion is such a pita! I should of just bought a osgiken gear set and called it a day. no shifter problems, no abs diff swaps and no Dakota digital bs!

[TheRealSy90]

If you had an affected shifter they would have contacted you by email. If they haven't then don't worry about it.

Yep X3. I had to do a PayPal claim. So now this week I got an email from PayPal saying they hoped it would be resolved(4/25) but the cbfperformance refund payment was declined by his bank account so I will have to wait another 3-5 days while they try again. What a freakin joke

[KyleT]

Well after waiting for two months already, touge factory told me it will be another 5-6 weeks on the serial nine shifters
