STS's comparison
#2
I heard they are both made by the same company, but somebody needs to confirm this... I ordered my Pacesetter for $70 shipped from carparts.com like 2 weeks ago, but it still hasn't come. I need to call them or something. Custommaxima.com has the SMC for $110... I think any shortshifter put into a maxima will be notchy, but the Redline fluid helps a little...

Carparts sends the order in to Pacesetter who fills them directly. Just be patient, it takes about 3 weeks and is well worth the wait for both the product quality and price you get. With the money you save, get a good screw down shift ****...
I wouldn't bother calling carparts. They have no idea when the product ships or what the status is.

On a related note, where is a good place to buy Redline MT90? Preferably an auto parts store so I don't have to pay for shipping. Thanks for any info.

I have the OBX-R Maxima SSK. I think it's similar to the old Courtesy Nissan part. Very simple. It seems to work ok. I sometimes miss shifts, but it may just take some more getting used to. It's definitely stiffer, and the throw has definitely been shortened, I'd say by about 20-30%.
You'll probably get rattles from you heat shield though. Because the SSK makes the pivot sit higher, the actuating arm is lower, wanting to share the same space with the heatshield that goes between the cat and the car. I haven't figured it out yet, so it still rattles, but I think through creative shaping of the heatshield, I can get rid of it. Just haven't had time.

BTW, if you need to whack the heatshield, whack the sh*t out of it rubber hammber... whack it like you got ****ed at it... small whimpy hits won't get you anywhere... It'll just take more tries!
Belive me.
