i doubt that u really have a 180SX.  i think u mean to say that u have a 240SX Fastback, or S13 FB.

unless u actually imported a REAL 180SX from japan, or wherever overseas...

[bing]

with a lexus like that what do you want with a 240<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

yes ok it is a 240 hatch to be politically correct..

i bought the car to pratice drifting and auto-x, solo-1 stuff like that... my GS is jsut too big <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

jspec.com sells the C's short shifter, but, last time i checked, they were on backorder. &nbsp;u could try eBay for the OBX shifter, or pdm-racing.com, but it has a history of breaking into 2 pieces. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

don't forget B&M, probably cheaper than the C's, dunno about how much better it is. My friend has used a C's before and he says that they are overpriced, and that he'd rather get a B&M.

Just to clear this up.. &nbsp;the new OBX SS does NOT break like the older one. &nbsp;They fixed this problem.

Best Short Shifter = B&M - $250
Best SS for the Money = OBX - $80

That title is kind of a tease.. &nbsp;WHERE ARE TEH PICS MAN?!

[JEdubz]

i'm clicking "here" for mods... not seeing em... need a new image... yeah the title was a bit misleading... &nbsp;and to be even more politically correct it would be RMS13 methinks...

i dont think a short shifter would be too beneficial in autox or any of that type of racing. &nbsp;u should get the longest shift knob as possible so u can reach the wheel and shifter as quickly as u can. &nbsp;Look at professional racers even the drag racers. &nbsp;The have the shifters really high, close to the steering wheel.

If you put a taller shift knob on the 240 like in "Rally" cars, you would probably hit the dash.. &nbsp;not a good idea..

For normal people who do not have sequential shifters/trannys, Short Shifters are wonderful things. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

He meant a shorter throw...

Also for a firmer shift Nismo sells one but it doesnt shorten the throw at all.
