one thing holding me back from buying a short shifter is the fact that my rpm's dont really drop that fast anyways. Until I get a lightened flywheel and clutch setup, i dont think that my times will increase all that much. shifting too fast cuases me to have some wheelspin when shifting into 2nd and 3rd which is bad for times as well.

1. Yes, there is still reverse lock just like stock.
2. No rattling!!! There is a change made to an OEM part that is included that keeps it from rattleing.
Guys if you interested let me know in the by the end of Sunday because I may stop the group buy due to lack of interest.

C's short shifter
I just talked to Ben at Bulletproof and he is selling the C's for 440.00 he says people thought they were out of business because they quit advertising and were busy setting up every racecar in Japan with the C's short shifter.
Well their going to start marketing the shifter again! Ben says it is far superior to anything made in the states. I have seen pictures somewhere in this forum; cant remember where at the moment but from what I can remember it looked incredible.
It looked far superior to anything else ive seen, and it is expensive. Does anyone know of the C's short shifter and if so how good does it work and feel?
Anyone have any pics of the C's? Oh ya Ben said group buy of ten people 380.00 more people more discount

Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Not many people know about the C's shifters; but from what ive seen and heard, it might be worth the money. I guess Im going to find out.

I am waiting to hear back from Ben at Bulletproof to make sure the shifter isnt made to lean one way or another in neutral. Not a stupid question since this is supposed to be the best 33% reducer on the market.
Its very possible the shifter may be set up for a right side drive. This particular shifter has a bent shape to begin with. Its bent back towards the driver; just want to make sure it doesnt lean to the right.

I hope it is a good review I need a back up in case the C's a leaner; either way I hope it works out for you especially after all the trouble your going through. Im going through the same issues with my Blitz.
I had to remove the stock cat back and install the Blitz Nur. Then it didnt fit because it hit the vent tubes heat shield. So I left the heat shield off and used it any way to at least check it out. It was incredible; it sounded exactly like the exhaust clip. But Blitz wanted it back for law suit issues so I had to remove the Blitz and install the stock crap back on.
So as soon as Blitz makes a new jigg and sends me the correct cat back I have to remove the stock crap and ............
Any way BJ seems like a good guy Im sure he will make things right. Looking forward to your review, Im sure it will be on the possitive side.

The 5 shifters we received in our first batch came out a little tall. THe blueprints were suppose to be changed and unfortunatley they didnt.
The situation is being handled and we getting them changed. We should have them back in the shop ASAP.

I have a B&M S.S. installed in my Z and like the shorter throws and more exact shifts, but would not recommend on buying this same short shifter. As long as the car is moving and I shift into any gear, there is a scratching/rubbing noise coming from the shifter linkage. I have no idea what this is and affter having my dealership check it out they felt quite confident in that the sound was normal for an after-market short shifter.
If I had to do it all again, I would pay a little extra and go for the Rogue or the 350EVO.
Just my $.02
