I'm searching in my neck of the woods and not finding much, but 4x2 is pretty uncommon up here due to our winters. I might just get ahold of the Nissan dealer and order the parts 1 by 1. So looking at that diagram, looks like I'd need

1 - 32204P
1 - 32204N
1 - 32850N
1 - 32849
1 - 32879
1 - 32145
1 - 32516
(I think I can find bolts/washers at the hardware store so I'll skip the OEM ones that bolt 32145 down)
1 - 32844M
1 - 32844F
1 - 32829+A
2 - 32853
2 - 32852
1 - 32851
1 - 32917+B
1 - 32851+A

From what I understood, I wouldn't need 32890M correct? Also I'm confused with the Sec.341 blow-out diagram. So you get all of that when you order 32204N?

if someone here figures that out i will buy them a beer. i really don't like how mine ended up with the regular 350z shifter. though the parts you are looking at above are for the 4 cyl gearbox...

here is the stock stuff apart for reference

Could you get the measurement from the shortened shifter location to the cover where it would be if replaced? I'd rather not crawl under my car for it.

I think it will be easier to start from the xterra spot and bend a custom shifter than to bend a shifter back from the 350z spot.
Hopefully someone gets a hold of one soon and tries it out =)
how hard can it be to find a manual trans 2wd xterra. probably the 4x4 has a similar shifter setup but not the tailshaft.
Think I read somewhere that the xterra wasn't available in 2wd with the 6speed. Might have to find a frontier if they are available.

I've swapped the Z33 gearbox into my 1JZ powered Skyline, the shifter ended up being way to far, so this is what I came up with. It moves the shifter directly over the inspection cover:

Looks interesting... How does it feel? How long is the throw, how does it feel pushing down to go into reverse?

It feels and works just like stock, because it uses the stock mechanism and spring.

cmon no ones got an exterra shifter yet, I am really excited to see this work out of the black cover on the top.
I have to say Turbomati that is very creative never seen anything like it before.

This is the stock shifer bracket compared to my version 1 and 2 brackets. The ver. 1 moves the shifter about 10cm forward, the ver. 2 about 20cm:

looks cool, maybe you should sell those brackets

if there is no clean xterra part conversion then i might have to go with your solution. my trans is in the car too so there is no easy way for me to help get measurements / test stuff.

how have you guys solved the no speedometer problem? anyone here got some GPS adapter to work with the stock VSS signal to ecu / cluster?

I have an autometer GPS device. Just have not installed it yet. Car is still at paint so hopefully I'll get it back and will be able to test it in a few weeks.

That shifter relocation bracket above is legit, now if only the gps speedo is as legit as it supposedly is.
