NST shortshifter
 

Saw the original thread is closed but, wanted to let everyone know I got a tracking number today.

thanks Mike

Same here Rangerz! I am quite excited to get the shifter and maybe the mystery gift will be in my box as well! :tup:

Oh yea forgot about the gift. I think I should get it in time to install and run at the track this weekend:tup: how much faster will that make me??? NOT:nutswinger:

I didn't get a tracking number yet. Just says in process.

I received my tracking number. 2 day shipping yes����

yup same here 2 day shipping

That's strange tracking number but no shipment yet. Tracking has not started for over two days. Should almost be here hahah. Wth. ��

no tracking number. emailed them with no response. great.

I haven't received any emails at all. I did however send a PM yesterday about an updated shipping address and got a speedy response on that. I hope to see some info about shipping details in the next day or so considering its been a hot minute since they should have shipped.

Well you guys that haven't got a tracking number yet, it's not looking good for me that did.

I was emailed mine tuesday but, as of this morning it still shows as in pre shimpent status by USPS. Which means a tag was printed and the data was sent to USPS but, they don't physically have a package in there system to track.

anyone else that recieved a tracking number in the same boat?

Thats not unusual for USPS, theyre pretty horrible when it comes to updates, but at least you have a tracking number. Ive emailed and PMd them with no reply.

Just got this email:

I wanted to take a few minutes to send you a quick group buy update.

Unfortunately, we had an issue a couple days ago and a number of the GB short shifters were damaged. As a result, we were able to send out only about half the SSK for this GB. The members who paid first will be receiving the SSK that were available for shipping. We feel that a first pay, first ship, is the only fair way to handle this situation.

You are receiving this email because you will be part of the second wave to receive a shifter. I have put a rush on the next wave of SSK and expect to have them ready for processing in the next ten to twelve days. Your order is a very high priority for us and your account will be updated with tracking info ASAP.

We will also be including a raffle ticket with each box. After all boxes have shipped and SSK have been received, one luck winner will be randomly selected and will receive a $20.00 gas card. We hope this serves as an extra Thank You for your participation and patience. The winning ticket number will be posted on the NST facebook and instagram pages.

Again, I apologize for the delay and very much appreciate your patience and support as we move forward.


Thanks again, good luck and have fun with all your projects!

Got the same. At least they're keeping us in the loop. I'm honestly not in a huge hurry so it doesn't bother me.

lostsol beat me to it.. got the same email... dam it! was really looking forward to install this and trans mount next week.. o well

"we had an issue a couple days ago and a number of the GB short shifters were damaged" is bullshi†. Plain and simple.

:iagree:

:drama:

People should probably be contacting their credit card companies right about now.

I received the same email.
I'm not in a big hurry in there so don't bother me that much.

Well I have a package at the sorting facility in Texas. I guess I was one of the first payed.

Mine was delivered today... Yeah buddy

Please give updates after install...make sure there's no issues....

Mine was one of the "damaged" ones. I'm not in a rush, it was a good deal to say the least. At least they know enough not to send out **** products. Quality Control is a hge thing and the way I look at it, that is the beginning of amazing customer service.

Sure, it doesn't meet what they originally posted, regarding shipping...but to me that is okay as long as it doesn't turn into weeks of waiting for a paid product.

Hopefully you weren't part of their pulley GB :wtf2:

I was also in the pulley group buy. Sucks about the wait bit I am more than happy to do so for a quality product at the price we paid for them. Let's be honest as well, if I was in a hurry to receive them I would have opted for a different ordering process other than the GB.

I received my SSK today. I'm really not sure what the mystery gift was though.......... lol

Entire ordeal ISN'T new knowledge. I just happen to see a pm from a mod asking me about the status of NST and I took action right away. I had no idea this was happening behind my back as it's quite impossible to shuffle through every thread.

Also, you should NEVER buy anything from a vendor without BLUE COLORED USERNAME. Blue color means they are active vendors. If their color isn't blue and you see them promote product or send you pm, it's your responsibility to report these posts/pms to us so that we can take proper action. As I will be making a public announcement shortly, I'm going to say it again: Do not purchase anything from a non blue colored (username) vendor.

There's nothing hard to believe. Mods have normal life and career outside the forum therefore if we didn't reply to the thread in time, we apologize.

I closed the thread last night because THEY ARE NOT an active vendor. I have stopped their vendorship here last year or so, which means if they want to start selling again, promote any product or sell anything on this site, they should be contacting me first. I have closed all recent active threads last night and sent out a pm to the NST representative on the forum asking "why they chose to skip me and started promoting their products again as if they are an active vendor." So until I figure out what will happen to their status here or hear from them, I'm closing this thread too.

From the big dog himself... I do really hope the guys that haven't received their ssk's do get them. Im nervous for you.

Got mine today and just finished installing it, takes about an hour. Didn't get much time to drive with it, just a quick circle around the block. Everthing works as it should. First to second seemed a little stiff but, likely due to not be fully warmed up. The shift knob I got with the kit however, does not fit. I think it goes to another kit the hole is way to big so I stuck with my stock one.

anyway there it is. Going to a wet track day tomorrow so should have some more to say then.

Wow that's good to know mine just hit m local postal service. Just home it works as planned. I hope you all get yours.

Few thought on the short shiferr. This is not specific to NST because I think they have a good quality product.

A couple of observations from this weekends track event and the short shiftier.

1. Get a heavier knob...I used the stock Nismo knob but, even the one NST sent which is about the same weight needs more heft to it. I think a heavy knob will make the shifting a little smoother.

2. I find it harder to find a 5th to 6th or 5th to 4th shift now. It is different so maybe that plays into it some. Just didn't feel as positive as the stock shifter...I found myself on more than one occasion searching for the the shift gate like it almost hangs right on the edge of either 4th or 6th gear.

3. Shifts are definitely shorter.

4. Would I do it again? Not sure I think I will get a chunk of SS and see if I can make a suitable knob with some heft to it and see what that feels like.

I hope this is not the case for mine. Thanks for the report back.

Mines on and drivin it over 300 miles already! The 4th to 5th and 6th is defently an issue! If we could utilize the stock plate it would work flawlessly. One thing I will not also is the screw holding the two pieces of the shifter together is very loose and has a lot of play. Also I recently started finding it difficult to put it in reverse from time to time but then it goes in easy very once in a while. Good product for the price though. Was wayyyyy happier with the pulleys though.

And this are the issues I was talking bout in the gb threat ....and I still bought having faith in them .....lol.....I feel dumb

**** I think I'm gonna sell mine then. Glad I didn't install or pay full price I would be vivid.

For those who installed...are you sure you didn't install the plate backwards? I know on the DIY that the problems you are having are the same symptoms from a backwards install.

I really hope this isn't a trash product. If it is, I'll gladly return it and go with another reputable company.

Like I said ebay has short shifters exactly as this product and I had bought one and the problems was I couldn't Engage reverse with it ....that's why I ask before I bought it ....lol...and the reason I bought it was because they where suppose vendors here but ...it turns out there vendor membership wasn't active and they where selling there stuff here.....With out authorization. ...to me that's shady as ****!!!

Man, if you guys actually saw the NST shop and met Mike there is no way you'd give him a dime. It's a shady POS shop. When I went to pick up a clutch I ordered online I was shocked. There were a couple of drift beaters outside and about $11 of product in a run down strip center.

Im pulling mine out and going back to the stock shifter this weekend. I hindsight the 370 has a pretty short throw and doesn't really need anything else for what I do.

Chuck what part of of Hiuston you in? ! My wife is from Pasadena.

I'm about five minutes from Downtown.

I think I may go back to stock also :( just for the smoothness. Although people really wanting a shorter throw will like the product I was looking for comfort which it not terrible but why change something I don't have an issue with I guess

Damm sorry to hear about all the guys that bought this...I was really looking forward getting this specially for the price but I guess u get what u pay for:ugh2:

what was the free gift? I received mine but all it had was the ss? haha
