LOL...I remember the day when C's short-shifters were the only way to go for a Japanese car. They seem to have dissapeared from the market, though. Any word as to them workin on one for a Z34?

NICE!!! I wonder if Mr. Millen can do up a special edition one like this and put a Hurst T handle shifter knob on it

Could you explain the Tremec transmission because I think it's only for mustangs and such. Could you give a few more details?? Like how it's better than other transmissions and short throw kits

Is it safe to assume that NISMO parts will be slightly better (in terms of fitment) than other parts? Or is that a disservice to products from B&M and AMS?

Words like "grind" and "notchy" have me worried quite a bit.

Same question.. I'd assume that a NISMO shifter would be substantially better than the B&M, from what I've heard but I'd love to hear your guys opinion Z1P.
