Jonnymonno Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Next was the B&M short shifter from Torqens offer page, I've always fancied one and at the offer price I went for it Quite easy to install but then I do have a pit, as the linkage pin is right up in the transmission tunnel A small bit of filing is required for the reverse position but other than that it's an easy mod I've re tapped the Mishimoto knob since the above picture so it screws further down to the gaiter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymonno Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm very impressed with the gear change now, very small movement to change but not sure on the knob I've ordered a Raceseng anodised red fat one (to match my wheels)closer to the shape of the original as I do like a fatter knob I will get a picture up when it arrives Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1H Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'd also fancy a B&M shifter, just not been sure how easy the install would be. I like the idea of tapping my Mishimoto,too. What drill size and depth did u choose and the tap got which thread and gang? Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymonno Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi René There is plenty of depth in the knob, I just tapped out the insert with a 10mm X 1.25 tap Get the shifter and we can install it at my garage if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnymonno Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 So on with the next mod ....seats, which I ever thought I would find anything I liked until I was shown these which I snapped up straight away Thanks Adrian ;D I've been looking at them gathering dust in my garage and thought I'd better make a start. I priced up the 370z seat rails ... Ha ha ha... Are you kidding on the price? They came with Bride Seat rails which I decided to alter so stripped them off the seats for a better look and this is how they looked Not far off at the front but angles all to **** Miles off at the back Lots of measuring and levelling I made these brackets which would bolt not weld to the seat frames I made them to look as similar as possible to the bride mounts 4mm thick with the slotted bolt holes Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymonno Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Next I had to tackle the electrics, so I disconnected the battery and removed all the plugs. The seats came with side airbags coming from the Nismo Duke,and on further inspection someone previous had cut the plugs off but luckily the wire colours matched up to my Zed so I took the airbag plugs off my seat and wired them in. The seatbelt wires and fixings unbolted from my seats and went straight on to the Bride seat frames so plugs matched as before The seat pad sensors had been cut so had to remake the ends with connectors I reconnected the battery and waited.....all good, everything works No fault lights and the seatbelt sensors work!! Result I fitted the seats to the frames and here they are They are full Recaro's not the part Recaro part Zed bases fitted to the new 370 Nismo's What do you think, blood sweat and beers but I think we'll worth it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymonno Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 I will be posting my original seats up for sale soon if anyone is interested which are in top condition with no wear on the bolsters Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
