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.
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.

Default 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.

Yes, this shifter is the spawn of literally a year of engineering and tweaking and testing. Honestly we are glad it's finally done because it was quite an undertaking. And yes, it basically works out to be free when you buy the kit and makes our kit a no brainer over anything else that exists. Not to toot our own horn, but we purchased every short shifter available and tested every single one to see what was good, and not good about them. Some of the big name shifters out there came up very short and it was surprising how poor the quality was. Billet's shifter was the only one that held a candle to ours and this shifter feels better than all the shifters we tested. It will be available separate in several custom lengths including a setup for a factory GTO and Camaro. Now, a better quality shifter is available and you don't have to pay the crazy shipping prices from Australia.

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.

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.

yes, from that bolt hole to the center of the opening in the floor should be sufficient.
