STS Installed....

I'm sure most 5spd owners have already put in a STS. If you have not, you should!!!
I installed mine over the weekend, and love it. Shorter shifts=

With out a doubt the best mod for under $70

How long did it take to get to your door once you ordered the STS?

Me too... have you e-mailed Greg lately?

At least the order is on credit card, so I can contest it.

But I would much rather have my STS...

Try contacting him. He is usually very good at getting back to people.

I ordered mine from him too - got it in 4 days. Very quick service... Now if I wasn't so freakin' busy, I'd have the thing in already!

i know when i get an STS i should install it my self, but i know i wont be able to bet the bolts of the exhaust to get to the shifter. So my question is how much would it cost for some one to install it for me?

The place I took mne to charged $20 if I helped out. . . Although it was a local speed shop and they had never done one on a Maxima.

Buy or borrow a rubber strap wrench(if you want to re-use the ****). If you don't care about the **** vise-grips work great. Nissan uses thread lock on the threads so its a ***** to break it free.

Take your car to an auto or exhaust shop and have them break the studs and nuts free on your cat(with an impact gun). I have impact tools so the job was easy. Thank God for compressed air!

Yeah, I want to re-use it - haven't found one to replace it with (at least not one I like). Thanks for the tip...
