Yea I'm really looking forward to seeing this tested on a NA-T setup putting down around 700whp.

For the JZ why not mill the bell housing down to where you have full spline engagement?

Thats a good question, but I would think it has something to do with the large amount that would need to be removed, and the fact that the bell housing on the 350z trans is not removable. EDIT the bellhousing is removable.
You would have to mill it down attached to the trans which may be an issue not really sure.

Question, I just measured from the edge of the block to the top of my W58 shifter and it's 30". Measured the 350z with the adapter plate, and its just under 39". The examples in this pic seem like it would place it around 35" or so. What did you do exactly to deal with that?

TeamPealou

Halon, Yes you're right! its between 34.5" and 35", cut down alllllll the way! I can go just a little bit shorter if you get creative!

BoostAddct

That's a pretty significant difference....35" would put it in the cupholder....

Looks like the stock interior trim may not work as-is then.

doesn't a member have it in the sc400. I think we need inside shifter pics.

Do you have a link to the website where that shifter came from?

Dream36

subscribing simply because I would like to turbo my car eventually and a stick shift is a must if I do 1UZbaby

Thanks for that pic. I suppose I"ll cross that road later. Picked up one of those billet shortened brackets.



Got it off ebay. The day after I ordered it, I found out the guy selling these swap kits would have just modified the stock bracket for half the price. Oh well.

Have a link for that billet bracket?

Just search for it on ebay . 350z shifter mount or 350z shifter bracket.

Otherwise you can just have the guy selling the kits modify the stock one for half the price. Wish I woulda done that and saved $100, oh well.
