    Hey guys,

    The shifter I've got with my W58 is homo, no matter how you put it in, it's either way too far forward or too far back. What shifter is used for w5x conversions? Should be able to be just slotted straight in, right? I've got a W58 out of an NA JZA80 (apparently) but sourced a shifter from someone else because the box didn't come with one.

    Would search, but can't use w5x or w58 because the terms are too small... Any help?

    Where will it stop? Will it ever be finished? How will it go? Why am I not wearing any pants?

    Castlemaine Rod Shop. They do changeover ($60 inc post) and you'll get whichever box mounted W5* shifter position that was manufacted, that suits you.
    I went for rearmost, but the 3S i have fitted may or may not be in the same place as a 4age.

    Dunno bout that biggo.
    Length from front of bell to stick on ra60 is a good 30mm less than that of the sprinter t50. So the stick moves 30mm closer to the dash.
    Been there, done it
