actually if you took the time to read my descriptions of each, they BOTH reduce the shifter length, as well as reduce the shifter throw. I don't have an opinion as to which is better between the 2. I've used both, and both worked as advertised, hence why I said both were good choices. I've already said I was happy with my choice, not sure what else I can tell you about it

They both absolutely reduce the length, as I have already described, and as you just pointed out. You don't "sorta" adjust length - you either do, or you don't, and both the NISMO and the Stillen do. A shorter lever is a shorter lever...it makes no difference if the lever is shorter at the top, or the bottom, both are still shorter than stock. I've already further described the differences elsewhere in this post, in that the Stillen is a fixed adjustment, and the NISMO is adjustable. I can't tell you which you will like bette, nor do I even remember which I like better at this point. I'd be happy with either one in my own car.

I have no idea what you are expecting me to say. How does it feel while driving? It feels shorter, is really the best description I can give. Other than the reduced throw vs stock, which is definitely noticeable, it feels perfectly fine, and requires no more effort than a stock unit does. If it made noise, or required me to muscle it into gear, then I wouldn't have it in my car. I don't personally find the stock shifter to even have a long throw in the first place. I simply tried it to tried it, and was happy enough with it to keep it installed. You obviously have not been on this board long enough to know me, so I will say this: If it didn't work as advertised, or if I wasn't pleased with it, it would not be in my car, plain and simple. I don't arbitrarily toss mods at my car in some marketing excersice,a s frankly the vast majority of what is on my car are not parts that I'd ever expect any significant number of customers to buy. I built my car for me, plain and simple, not for what I could sell as a result of my build. If I try something and I don't like it, it doesn't stay in my car, and furthermore, we would certainly never sell it. This is not me marketing anything. 've used the Stillen on my own car, and have driven a few Z's with the NISMO, albeit at 2 totally different times. Both are quality pieces that are direct drop in replacements for stock, have no noise. If you are looking for a more in depth description, I guess you'll have to try to find someone locally to you who has one and try it yourself.

As for the shifter on ebay, it's all a copy, of a copy, of a copy, and as I've said in previous threads, I tried that one myself too, as the manufacturer approached us about doing a private label deal on it. It rattled, no matter what I did, so I politely sent it back and chose not to offer it

 

shortening rod height reduces throw, basic physics. its not just a feeling

 

well z1 all i can say is wow on the n/a build. You clearly no what your doing and the best of luck on things to come. I shall never doubt any ofr your words on parts again

 

Thanks, but believe me, I learn stuff here on this site everyday. When I got the Z back in 03, I knew nothing about it, and all these years later, I've learned a few things. The site is filled with some smart people, you just have to use a little leg work to track down the info you need. Good luck on your car!

Care to measure each line and tell me which one is longer?

i guess this time youre the a$$hole who hasnt a clue what theyre talking about. its bad when a simple microsoft paint image clearly shows how wrong you are

 

how about we leave the name calling out of it - did anyone call you a name? Didn't think so.

Do you have either shifter? If not, then how about not making presumptions about things you are not well versed in. Both shifters reduce the throw, and shorten the length of the lever itself as well. You can believe me, not believe me, I could care less either way.

 

repeat of my previous post... sorry to be redundant.

back to the subject at hand... on the nismo short shifter; i understand that it is adjustable and allegedly while driving but my question is... does this feature ever become a problem? i dont understand how its adjustable but is it possible that it "pops out" of its intended position while driving?

 

it takes 2 hands to adjust it - its basically an adjustable sleeve that slides up and down, but when not compressed, it locks in place.
