NP Nissan 350Z/Z33/G35 Short shifter

Nissan 350Z / Z33 / G35 Short Shifter is a precision CNC-machined 6082-T6 aluminium short shifter designed specifically for the Nissan Z33 platform (350Z and Infiniti G35). Engineered primarily for motorsport use, this shifter delivers very short gear travel, a built-in adjustable gear locking mechanism, and a sealed base plate that prevents water and exhaust gases from entering the cabin through the gearbox tunnel opening.

The shift knob-mounted gear lock release button allows the driver to lock out specific ratios during competition, with reverse, first and second, or fifth and sixth lockable at the driver’s discretion. Recommended for use with solid engine mounts and gearbox mounts to maximise shift precision.

Key Features & Benefits

• CNC machined from 6082-T6 aluminium – lightweight, precision-machined construction for direct gearbox tunnel mounting with consistent fit
• Very short gear travel – motorsport-focused throw reduction for faster gear changes in competition conditions
• Centering spring – returns the shifter to the neutral plane for precise gear selection and reduced chance of missed shifts
• Adjustable gear locking mechanism – lockable travel restriction for selected ratios (reverse, 1st/2nd, or 5th/6th) to prevent unintentional gear engagement during competition
• Push-button gear lock release on shift knob – quick, one-handed unlock without removing grip from the shifter
• Full base plate coverage – sealed base plate prevents water ingress and smoke/exhaust intrusion through the gearbox tunnel mounting hole
• Direct gearbox tunnel mounting – designed for direct bolt-on installation to the Z33 gearbox tunnel without modification
• Available in multiple anodized colours – choose a finish to match vehicle interior or personal preference.

Materials & Construction

• 6082-T6 aluminium billet – CNC-machined from solid aluminium for consistent dimensions and an anodizable finish
• Adjustable gear lock with button release – integrated mechanical locking system with push-button override
• Sealed base plate – full coverage base plate for cabin protection

Applications

• Circuit racing and time attack on Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35
• Drift competition requiring gear lock for anti-jump protection
• Track-day and sprint event preparation
• Street performance use requiring shorter, more direct gear changes

Why This Short Shifter Is Important

The standard Nissan Z33 shifter has a long throw designed for comfortable daily driving, not for rapid gear changes during competition. The NP Nissan 350Z Short Shifter reduces throw significantly, adds a centering spring for consistent shift feel, and provides the gear locking function useful for anti-jump protection in motorsport. The sealed base plate addresses a common modification need on track-prepared Z33 vehicles, providing a more complete installation than shifters without this feature.
