Short Shifter Purchase Advice
Hello all. I've recently purchased a 1986 Z31 NA as my first car. 
Getting to the point, I've been scouring the multiple forums and fan sites and most of them seem to point me towards the OBX Short Shifter (for an S13/240SX.) With that being said, I've looked everywhere I could and gone through countless pages and searches to find an OBX Short Shifter and it seems as if they've just dissapeared. If any of you all know where to purchase them, would you point me in the right direction please?

Short shifter
Better solution (and cheaper) is to take out your oem shifter, take it to a pro welder and ask him to remove 2 or more inches from the oem shaft. He will weld the threaded shaft end back to the top, you get the **** height you want - and it will cost a lot less than the aftermarket shifters. I tried them. They are all too long and real expensive. Figure out how much lower you want the **** and get a welder.
