what shifter does the rb25det cross reference with?

[bottombunk]

i was wondering if there is a shifter that swaps with the rb25det. i thought maybe the z32, cause i think there the same transmission or similar. i know its not the same as an sr.

the Z32 uses a totally different shifter mechanisim, the KA and SR shifters are the same.

[bottombunk]

so then the rb25 doesnt have a shifter it shares with any other u.s. based transmission then?

He meant the KA & SR shifters are the same as the RB25 shifters.

The shifters are the same, but the shifter housings are not. So if you are going short shifter, you can use things like the Pilot/OBX/Megan short shifter, but probably not the B&M, since the B&M replaces the plate that covers the shifter ball. The B&M still *could* work, but for $200, I can't afford to check it out.

*nod* thanks for making sense for me Jon

has this been tried as in has someone actually installed one. short shifter that goes on the sr and put it on an rb25. the only reason i ask is someone said they tried this and the ball was smaller than the rb's.

ive got the b&m short thro from my sr on my rb i had to shim it but its so smooth it feels better than any other shifter ive ever felt

[bmadd2402]

how did you shim it? I had tried earlier and it was so sloppy...

[bottombunk]

i just bit the bullet and bought a nismo shifter from rb motoring. i hope its better than my pilot shifter with greddy counter weighted shift knob on my sr.

[bottombunk]

i got my nismo shifter in today. on the paperwork it lists the shifters as ECR33, RB25DET=32839-RN590.SR20DET=32839-RN540.im not saying they dont intermix but there is something a little different otherwise they wouldnt waste time with a different item (part number).

how much, if you dont mind me asking? where did you order it from?

[bottombunk]

i got it from rb motoring. it was like mid 100s i cant remember exactly. i want to say around 140 or so dont quote me though.

[wawazat8402]

do they deal with nismo japan?or do they use a middleman?

i have a dealership that would be interested in working with someone on the west coast to get jdm nismo parts.

[bottombunk]

couldnt tell ya. i really dont know.

[Toad[^_^]]

Wait, are we talking KA24 shifter into RB25 transmission? My Ka shifter was way to small to fit in the RB25's transmission

[wawazat8402]

the NISMO shifter mentioned above is for the RB25 transmission
