I was really hoping to get away from that 1-2 shift but its just not going to happen.

That sucks. Have you change gearing in the rearend?

No But I dont think you would want to go much shorter because then you would have to shift once more at the top of the 1/4 mile. I just wish 1st gear was a little taller. Maybe with a beefy clutch? Even then thats alot of heat from slipping it that much.

I guess I could experiment with going taller. I just know next to nothing about working on differentials. lol

I know Mr.Squeeze swears by it.

I agree 1st gear is completely useless now. I have trouble shifting fast enough 1-2.

I came across this last year. Not sure if it would help us or not.

Well isnt that neat. I would be curious to know how it can find the gates if your hand on the shifter cannot? Does it just slam right through them? In a dogbox its pretty simple but this not so much.

Tried looking for more info without anything. Maybe it didnt work?

I have no idea. I was walking through the new product area and saw this... VQ... 6 speed... ok, got my interest. There wasn't much to see or read, basically exactly what the pictures are.

I didn't bring it up earlier because I thought it must be for some other kind of Nissan VQ that I don't know about, thinking this would have been all over the forum if it was for our car.

According to their website it will work on any cable shifter system. However our cars do not have cables, its a direct linkage to the gearbox.

wheee! 10-11-2014 08:13 PM

So! Anything new and interesting Mitch? :p

I have not posted in here in some time I see, lol. We finally got settled in our new place with a much bigger garage with room for activities :) Went through some fuel issues and now that the engine side is 100% I was able to do a few aesthetic mods to it over the weekend.

Yeah, if it didnt come with the house I probably would have went with a 2post just because you can do much more with it. For example try dropping the engine with a 4 post or lifting a cab off a truck. haha. But it came with the house so im not complaining, our next shop will have a 2post.

With our dollar dropping like a dead fly it might be a little longer. Nothing like paying a 30% premium now... ugh
