yeah, i sent him a message just waiting to see what the story is, NZ's got some crusty retailers over here that just take the money over the counter knowing its the wrong product like everywhere i suppose.

Cool. I have one in my Monaro and have had them in other cars. They are not too bad. Just a real b1tch to set up properly. Also they are pretty big items. Good luck

Someone should put some picks up of the shifters do they really help in racing drag strip ect or do they just look good

mines gonna be mostly for the look i guess being a pretty stock drive line, but the quick silver makes for a lightning quick shift, well........only as quick as the hand that whacks it, but someone out there has to have done it before?

It shouldn't pose any extra problems, the gearbox is still the same
