hey guys, the max [02+] with 6 speed, what size is your bell housing for the shifter under the hood? is it 67mm or 55mm ? i ask this b/c i think its the same for the 04 6th gen. the 05+ changed to the 55mm. TIA

 

02-03=6th gen 6spd

 

nismo shifter...overpriced rice

 

thx for the replies. i am looking for the bell housing size. thanks!

 

i didnt mean the shifter, i meant the short shift adapter, sorry for the confusion.

 

sorry...just went by the title - Nismo Short Shifter

 

i doubt anyone knows. if youre looking to buy one, just do the free STS mod

 

^^^^^^^^^ link ?

 

my bad, lol; after i did the post, i didnt realize i cant change the title.

 

Do you have this link for this write up? it will save me 150

 

hows the cattman STS Sooner???? Worth buying rather than doing the "free STS"??

 

yes

 

do you have a back to back comparison to support this outlandish claim?

 

i have driver cars with both.
what proof do you have to discount my statement?
who do people always questions members that have proven themselves

 

There used to be a guy that made his own STS for the 6spd, he sold them for $65 shipped on the nycmaxima forum, not sure if he still makes them but you may want to check it out. I have this one and it works great, I was going to do the free STS until I saw this guy was clearing his current stock out...If he no longer makes it I would also recommend doing the free STS over spending $150.

 

the free sts is innocent until proven guilty (not as good/as good as a purchased unit). the free sts gives you the same result as purchased unit, but gives you the opportunity to choose the throw lengths and the shifter position

what have you done to prove yourself?

 

^^^^^

 

Here ya go bro... http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....light=free+sts
Buy the ES shifter bushings from cattman to go along with this mod and you'll definitely be pleased.

BTW... don't use a power drill to tap the drilled hole. I broke the tap off in there and had to find a special extractor to remove it. If you turn it by hand you won't be able to break the tap.

 

yeah...using a power drill to tap a hole of normal size is a nono

 

so i have proof...ive driven both. and you have nothing.
quick question? after the free STS...where is the shift **** compared to stock?

that doesnt even deserve a response.

 

the stock location on the 04-06 manual tranny provides a shorter throw than the 02-03. I swapped the tranny in my 02 and I couldn't use the TWM STS because the selector was different on the new tranny and the TWM wouldn't fit without modding by grinding part of it down. If you are able to swap that out for the 04 version, the shift is only slightly longer...maybe 2cm than the TWM STS and the stick position is near stock. hope that helps.

 

i got in the car and felt out several locations (forward of stock, backward of stock) and picked out what i liked best. it mostly in the middle, but i thought stock was a little too far forward so i placed it further back than stock

typical of your posts

 

thats the good thing about this mod (other than it being free, obviously) In neutral the **** sits right right where it did before. If I wanted it to sit farther back I could have drilled for it to be there.

BTW sooner I could about swear in a previous thread you said that you would have just went with free sts if you hadn't have come across a cheap Watkins STS. Maybe it was Puppet that said that...

 

hes been known to flip flop like john kerry

 

I've got Axxtion STS's in stock. Both the 55mm and the 67mm.
