Hi Guys,

I purchased this Nismo Short Shifter from another member and never installed it. Long story short (no pun intended) I decided to sell it but the potential buyer backed out because he said the part looks like it missing the white collar. The person I bought it from insists that you use your stock collar. Can someone please confirm that this is true. Please have a look at the pics.

Thanks

 

I purchased one new and it came with the white collar, dont think u can use stock collar.

 

+1 only thing i reused from my oem one was the boot and ****.

 

I don't think you can get the collar over the adjustable part of the shifter, as it's got a larger cross-section than the ball. Original owner must have broken the collar. Great shifter, though - I've had mine in for quite a while and love it.

 

thanks for the input guys - based on the responses it looks like the original owner sold me a defective part. I'll follow up with him.

 

key word "don't think"

i'm the original owner of shifter i bought this used myself exactly the way i got it. i install this myself using my OEM "white collar" you can just grease it and slightly hammer it and it comes right off.

can a vendor or a fellow member whose a mechanic verify this with OP

i cant find the post any more but this is the original picture

 

OP insist i sold him a broken item? can Moderator have an input in this

 

Can a mod please look at the original FS thread. The seller is now stating that he sold it "as is" and that I didn't do "my research". No where in the ad did he mention that the collar was broken and that you could use the OEM one.

 

Whether or not the stock collar can be used is unimportant, if that was not disclosed before the sale. The shifter was incomplete, and that is what matters.

If an exhaust system was advertised for sale, but wasn't delivered with the mid-pipe, isn't that the same situation?

 

How can you be the original owner if you bought it used?

 

I bought mine new, and it came complete, with the white collar and everything. Didn't reuse anything.

This shifter is designed to be an easy swap. take the old out, drop this in, done. no mixing parts. You definitely have an incomplete short shifter.

 

mkn - can you please refund my money and I'll ship it back to you at my expense.

 

if i get a pm from a mod telling me where it is my fault i will refund you

 

Why do you need a mod to tell what to do is right?

 

excuse me ...what to do is right?? i believe i sold you that item fair and square your just **** because you cant sell it back out so you can recoup your 100 bucks

if my FS post wasnt according to rules or my item was consider "deceiving" mod will let me know

you can keep flaming here all you want i'm done

 

The difference between me and you is that I won't sell a fellow Z member a defective/incomplete part to make a buck. Stop making excuses and refund me the money.

 

Keep digging that hole for yourself if you must, but you're not right, and if you win this one it's only because the mods have something better to do.

 

Can a mod please comment on this and help with a fair resolution. I feel mkn didn't give a full explanation in his FS thread. If he had mentioned that this was missing a part I never would've purchased it. I don't feel right selling it to another member and shouldn't be out a 100 bucks.

 

Just out of curiosity... where is the for sale thread at? I searched for it, but didn't find it. Seems kinda strange that someone would delete it after they sell something... just sayin...

 

Looks like mkn had it deleted. I couldn't find it either.
