beerhead Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Hey everyone! Just letting you know about a great place to get 20V adapter and also Short shifters for the T50 box. Short shifter Thinking maybe we should try to get a group buy happening, save on some freight. Quote
beerhead Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Posted March 29, 2006 USD, they've quoted me $50 us for the postage of a 20V adapter, so I dare say it wouldn't be too dear. Quote
TRD ke70 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 quote: Our T3 Short Throw Shifter features a 55% reduction in throw. Yes! That is 55% reduction vs. TRD's 33% Reduction in throw. we have a TRD T50 short shifter and it's more than 33%, closer to 50%. looks almost the same as the TRD item, does make a difference but make sure your gearboxes are in good nick, as it is hard on the syncro's.

Tiger Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Chris, what's the price on yours? And are there some to suit K50s? Quote
beerhead Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Posted March 29, 2006 Ah cool, looks nice eh. TRD kE70, Gotta get your wreckers to source me an LSD from a mazda van to fit a B1800 housing salsbary type, 10 bolt I think. 23 spline axels I believe. Quote
TRD ke70 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) beerhead: ok i'll just write that down and sort it tomorrow. tiger: Trd quick shifts are worth about $170 us and the T50 ones fits K gearboxes. our quick shift cost nothing, it came in from japan on a gearbox and no one knew what it was. :P here's the one out of the rally car, this one i brought back from japan, Tony got it on yahoo auctions and got it sent to me at Suzukisport. the other one we had was like the one posted. had the spacer and was really good quality.

Tiger Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 :P Get another box from Japan for me! hahahaha OK, I'll let you know when I want that short shifter Cheers :) Quote

reCOUPErator Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 i'd want one if they were chaeper! Quote
demuire Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 I've got a T3 one, and it's really quite good :P My only "complaint" is that it's very very "notchy". There is absolutely no slop in the gear change action though, it's all very positive. Oh, and another problem is because the distances are reduced so much, plus the fact that the spring action is quite strong and the shift action so notchy, sometimes it's hard to know what gear you're in, or going to. I've shifted from 1st to 4th on quite a few occasions... Quote
ancullen Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 I think I'll stick to the regular shifter. Sounds much safer, plus I don't think it's got a very long throw anyway. Quote
Raven Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 I had my stock T50 shifter shortened cos i thought it was too long by 1 one. My neighbour who has a metal lathe cut it and re-tapped the thread for me. Felt stacks better cos it was so damn long :P Quote
Clown Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 wouldn't mind some of the t3 gear. mainly the suspension stuff!! Quote
NoPsi Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 It's not too hard to make the short shifter if you are handy with a welder. I made one for my last T50box. You can then decide how much reduction in throw you want rather than what you can uy. Craig Quote
