Update: 15/05/2008 - Nismo Short Shifter Fitting
Nismo Short Shifter and Nismo Carbon Gear Knob Fitted
New Nismo Short Shifter with Nismo Carbon Gear Knob for R33
Current Stock Setup
Remove Gear Stick plastic cover - one screw behind ash tray and gently pull the cover up and expose the following
Remove the 4 screws and lift plate out along with rubber boot, Peel back this 2nd rubber boot, there is a cable tie holding it to the gearbox - snip it
Exposed gear stick - get a C clips and remove C clip, once removed gear stick will just lift up and out
Nismo Short Shifter vs Nissan Stock - looks similar but is shorter and has less throw on it
Nismo Short Shifter back in place - reverse steps above, you will need a new cable tie to secure the boot onto the gearbox
Replace boot and metal place and secure back in place with the 4 screws
Replace plastic covering and screw back in place behind ash try, attach new gear knob and applaud yourself
On my test drive, it works quite well, noticeable difference, shorter through, slight vibration from gear knob, just needs to be secured tighter, all good
Approx time to fit = 20-30 mins
Screw driver and C Clips needed - very straight forward
Enjoy!!!

Update for you
The splitfires arrived on thursday and i fitted them on friday night and the car pulls so much better now, completly different car compared to previous, alot of low down power, still a little boggy some times, but im guessing that could be a slight over fueling due the new HKS fuel pump
Have a few more parts on the way consisting of Nismo Short Shifter with Nismo Carbon Gear Knob and SFS Silicone Breather Hose kit
So there was a parcel at home for me which was the SFS silicone breather hoses in blue
Fitted them this evening

Big thanks to Vicky at temple tuning for the quick delivery

well the HKS Fuel Pump and the HKS SSQV arrived last night, popped on the SSQV and removed the old dead pump and we plumbed in the new HKS Fuel Pump, jumped the car(batt was dead) and the car started back into life!!!
The fuel filter on the end of the old pump was filthy dirty!
Awesome - skyline smiles all around
on the test drive, all seems ok, i feel that the new uprated fuel pump is slightly overfueling as the car doesn't feel as quick as before(bear in mind its nearly been a month since i have driven it! ) went for a drive and by the end, it feeled a little better - the ECU had started to re-learn
so the more i drive it, the better it should get hopefully
Just waiting on the splitfires to arrive and i have also ordered a Nismo Short Shifter and Nismo Carbon Gear Knob, some nice editions

Bit of an update here for you
On the way back from the crosswater meet last month, my car died on me and left me on the side of the road - got a tow back and the car has been sitting in my drive after myself and Dizz and Fintan diagnosed the fuel pump died
What a sad sad day lol
So i ordered a nice new HKS fuel pump and HKS SSQV from Nengun, they shipped today
Just to make things nice and smooth, i also ordered Splitfires today from RHDJapan so they will be here in a short while
Can't wait to get driving it, can't beleive how much i have actually missed it lol

Well its March already, the months are flying past so far, another quick update
Finally a nice dry but windy weekend, i dropped all the old oil out of the car and filled it back up again with Motul 15w50 along with a new power enterprise oil filter
Also replaced all of the plugs, the ones that were in it where fairly old and very brown so they needed a change anyway, popped the NGK(BKR7EIX) ones in and put it all back together, was quite impressed with my self for doing it all
Thanks to Dizz for the use of his garage and for cleaning the throttle body, it was manky and sticking, now its like new! Car pulls like a train now with the new plugs, nice difference
Car will be heading to RPMotors(RBPaul from here) to get all of the gearbox/diff oil, all of the belts including timing belt & tensioners next week so the car will be running super sweet, the only way to be!!

well i decided to transfer over the insurance today just tempory for the weekend as i was sick of not being able to drive it lol
So taxed it/insured/filled it with E5 and off i went for a test drive - 93kms, i couldn't stop grinning ear to ear
Managed to clean up the interior, not fully done yet but getting there, stripped all the wires out etc
Out on the drive, it goes perfect!!! no unusal noises/clunks, suspension/brakes all seem spot on, handling is great, engine is perfect, oil pressure all stable going through up the revs, gave it a good work out in all the gears, effortless power in it!!! Gearbox was a little crunchy but as this was the first time it was actually driven in about 8 days, it soon disappeared
my cheeks now hurt from having the skyline smile since 2pm this afternoon!!
Stay Tuned.....
PS - i now hate white, its minging again lol

oh yes, she is finally home!!!!!! bit of a plava at the docks surrounding transport home but luckily Danni came to our rescue - THANKS A MILLION!!!!!!!
Great BIG thanks to Anto for all his help today, your a total legend!!!
Needed a booster pack to start which is fairly normal, she idles spot on and oil pressure is perfect when warm, interior will need a bit of a tidy up, prev owner liked neon lights me thinks and ripped out the double din but left me a TV with all the tuner and cd changers in the boot!!!!!
Up early in the morning and will tackle the writing on the windscreen and give it an almighty epic scrub - will have better pics tomorrow!!!
here are one or two.....

Update: 13/11/2007
my lonely skyline is still sitting on the docks in Nagota Japan waiting for a boat
Hurry the fook up!!!
No ETA on the boat as of yet either, i could be waiting, but it gives me time to sell my current car(not good time for selling though!!)
Plus side is that if it arrives in Jan, the VRT will be cheaper as its technically a year older by then
I have a parts stash in my room already, it consists of H1 HID kit, new NGK plugs, HKS heat sheild, my pioneer bluetooth stereo and power enterprise oil filter
Car would get a full service when it arrives consisting of cam belt, all belts, fluids, filters
Then comes a clifford alarm and a few defi gauges, then after that we will see
