The wiring was top notch and they even went through the trouble of dropping and labeling a tach wire for me so that I can come up with my own tach solution (which you've already seen). You'll lose VDC and Traction control but if you know how to drive you wont miss it at all. Standing burnouts are fun.
I don't have A/C yet because the kit wasn't available at the time of my swap but you can bet I'll have it before summer.

Stop the press!!!
I just realized that this swap kit comes with the Sikky billet short throw shifter!?!?!
WHUT?
Soooo not fair.
Sikky billet short throw shifter, standard with mount kit (over $550 value)
bottom of shifter, complete housing machined from one piece of billet aluminum
SikkyMFG can correct me if I'm wrong (but I'm not) but the above short shifter wasn't available at the time of my swap. If I'm right (I'm pretty sure I am) then the Sikky billet short throw shifter could be modeled after my Sikky modified Billet Products GTO Shifter.
Billet Products is a high performance parts manufacturer base in Australia. It cost me $500+ shipping.
SikkyMFG/JE Performance works their magic by cutting said $500 shifter in half (Because they're crazy that way
) and extended it by 2 inches to fit PERFECTLY in the stock 350z shift location.
Almost a year later this show up.
Coincidence? Oh is gets better.
After doing some quick elementary school math of the cost for the "H" LS swap kit which doesn't include a shifter kit and adding Aluminum drive shaft (because the Aluminum cost $440 extra with "H" kit) without headers and comparing that to the cost of the SikkyMFG swap kit also without headers then you pretty much end up getting the SikkyMFG short shifter.... FOR FREE
I'm so jealous I could **** kittens.
I want it.

Well it's been a year and I yet to have discovered any issues.
The wiring was top notch and they even went through the trouble of dropping and labeling a tach wire for me so that I can come up with my own tach solution (which you've already seen). You'll lose VDC and Traction control but if you know how to drive you wont miss it at all. Standing burnouts are fun.

Yes, it will be for sale on it's own. It would technically fit most GM trans(tremec), since they share the same shifter bolt pattern etc...We would have to test on that particular trans to give you a definitive answer. Since we will be offering several different lengths you should take some measurements and we can set you up with the length you need for the best shift lever placement.
Funds are secured. Can you please PM with a package price for an LS2 drop in kit?

Ok, most tko 600 transmission configurations that I know of have up to eight shifter locations. The rear most is a 6 bolt. If you look at the rear most shifter position and measure from the holes closest to the tail of the trans, and then take a measurement from there to the center of your shifter opening that will give us what we need. The trans is installed right? Let me know if this is clear or not.
