just wondering if all g35 6mt have shortshifters?

 

Yesur!

 

Define shortshifter, they were designed with a short throw from the factory, but don't have "short shifters" per se

 

I think thats what he meant. My buds define mine as a shortshifter so .... whatevah

 

shortshifting meaning change gears very fast without much movement in between the gears, they are close to each other. hope that makes sense. so they all do have that?

 

Im sure he knew that bro.

 

get a rogue engineering short throw shifter kit, it will make your shifting tighter and feel alot better.

one of the best mods out there.

 

well yes but the stock one is crappy

 

+1 good bang for the buck!

 

i thought you couldnt get those anymore

 

I think everyone knows now what the OP was asking, but to be clear on definitions, short shifting means to shift before the redline is hit, or before you normally would in the rev range. It's a common practice in road racing when you are trying to conserve fuel.

I've never heard the term shortshifter before, so thanks for the heads-up!

Roque engineering only reduces the throw by 20%. Revo Technica is built exactly like stock, and reduces the throw by 40%

 

Where can you buy Revo Technica?

Yes, I agree.
"short shifting" is the technique that gurney has explained. (we also use it coming out of turn 5 at Laguna Seca to keep sound below 92 decibels to avoid getting black flagged!) It is a less than "power optimal" change of gear that is employed for a tactical reason. Sound and fuel conservation are two of them. Employed carefully, it does not result in a significant loss of advantage in a racing situation. In a time attack situation it is not beneficial, but then gas conservation rarely is an issue in such competitions.

A "short throw shifter" is typically an aftermarket replacement part/assembly that delivers a 20 to 40% reduction in the distance that the top of the shift column has to travel to effect a complete change of gear. It adds some very marginal advantage to the time taken to change gears, but usually is installed because it has a crisper and more confidence inspiring, predictable movement to help the driver grab gears quickly under driving stress, especially multiple gear downshifts, or in some cases gear skipping downshifts (like from fifth to third...when to goof and go fifth to first would destroy your motor in a blink of the eye!)
