Will this fit our VR4's?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if this shifter will fit our VR4's?

I wouldn't buy anything that says "OBX" on it.


You can get a C's short shifter for our cars, but they're around $400

Why not? My exhaust manifold is OBX, its a stainless T3 flanged 4G63 with tial 38mm wategate port. Hasnt cracked in the 12 months i've owned it, and only cost me $500 brand new. It needed a little cleaning up of the welds in the inside of the runner collector, apart from that its done the job and done it well. I've also got a set of OBX cam gears, for $89 USD + shipping, its a cheaper option than $400 HKS ones.

I agree that some of their other gear is crap.

I'll ask my mate what shifter he got for his VR4, he bought it recently from the states, and im pretty sure it was something similar to what that link is above.

Isn't OBX the same thing as SSS Autochrome and XSPower?

I dont think so, OBX dont do turbo's, and their manifolds are totally different to SSS AC.

Back to the topic, I asked my mate about the shifter, and he said he opted to get one custom made instead of risking buying a shifter that didnt fit.

If you want to be put onto mikey a.k.a NERVIS who does custom shortshifters, pm me. I've got one in my car, awesome.

I've still got that VR4 shifter for you here mat, if you want me to send it straight to him?

ive heard that also, but the OBX manifolds for sale in NZ look much better in quality than SS. Also, those OBX seats for sale at autobarn etc are good quality, unlike SS. I think OBX and autotechnica are the same company?
