Hey guys I wanted to let you know that I talked to Ben at Rogue Engineering today and they still make the Short Shifter Kit for the g35 and 350z. If you do a little research, they are known as the best Kit on here. Much better than B&M. I was hoping to gather some people up who are interested and make a group buy. I havent seen too many mentions of the RE kit so I figured I'd try to bring it back!

 

Aww too bad! i ordered one from them on the 8th... and it came in on monday. i was just looking up the install instructions and saw this.

 

well just finished the install and im gonna have to say that im not all that impressed. yes if feels different, but better...? i guess that will be for the individual to decide. i know its only a 20% reduction so i wasnt expecting a big change in throw, but i was expecting it to feel much more crisp when going through gears. i guess the stock shifter is already pretty decent compared to most cars and maybe i was imagining a bigger change after reading about how awesome it was on the different forums. I dont intend this post to bash on the RE shifter, based on everybody's reviews it is a awesome product. its probably just me or maybe i did something wrong... does anyone know if its possible to f up this installation? i followed the instructions perfectly. BTW kinda wish i would have waited a bit then i could have jumped in with the group buy.

 

I heard it wasnt supposed to shorten it up too much but it was supposed to make gear changing better and take away some vibration. I heard its kind of like a bolt action rifle after installing.

 

do you know the price if there is a group buy?

 

I've had mine for about 5 yrs now and i like it alot. You 'click' ("bolt action rifle" if you will) in/out of each shift gate. I think with the reduction of any shifter, you'd need a lil more force to shift. That being said, shifting from upper gear down is money, especially 3rd-4th..flick of the wrist

 

My car was a pain in the *** to shift. Even with a weighted shift ****.. Anyhow. I took it out and sold it..
