Yep...the only setting that got lost with disconnecting the battery...it was the first setting i disabled after taking deliveryYou can turn it off if you don't like it. It's in the settings.
Oh god i hate that sound
shame it can't be hacked and insert a more welcoming voice via MP3 like a ringtone. Would love the voice of Gal Gadot/ Scarlett Johanson greeting me in the morning.
The first 4 bars of Slayer's Angel of Death would be my choice.
Maybe Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries would be more suited to you given your previous employment? Sorry, watched Apocalypse Now again the other dayScarlett Johanson hmmmm, I worked with her doppelganger .
Oh my!!
.
Thought the gears were quite good already what improvement will the short shifter do ? Quicker gear changes ? More snug
It's on the forge website. If you are organised and have the tools cna be done easily in 30 mins.
Had mine installed today, great feeling so far!
Both pins are set to about halfway, feels really nice and short now.
Gear changes are firmer and need a bit more of a shove, but they just have that extra oomph now when they're in. Really nice!
Maybe I can put it to the shortest setting without messing anything up?

Don't forget, the VN utilizes the same trans and shifter bushing as the i30N. Boomba Racing, has solid shifter and trans bushing as well. I'm going to try them along with the Forge Shift Kit. Ought to make a great combination. The bushings remove any slack in the shifter and cable take up.
More money to spend, for some more improvement.
You can, it's an easy adjustment. Just requires removal of the battery, and Air Box. Just ask @TamoT, I believe he has them adjusted to the stops.

You'll find the Forge Shift Kit, gives you half of what your current OEM i30N gear throw is now. The gate will remain the same, just shorter throw. Tightening up the gate movement I believe, will require the use of solid shifter and trans bushings from Boomba Racing.
I'll let you know for sure, when I fit them.

@NULLOBANDITO and or @padigree, maybe we ought to combine, with the thread above^?

Can anyone recommend somewhere in the southeast that can fit a short shift on my I30N/ had a look and don’t fancy doing it myself, I don’t get on with spanner’s.
@R Veloster N have you had a chance to use the solid bushings yet?
I ordered a set from SXth Engineering, with my next purchase likely to be the forge shifter assembly and was wondering which is going to have more of an impact.
I have a "Baby N" (EGTN-line) and this car, as much as I have enjoyed it for the month and a half i've had it, it has the absolute worst shift feel i've ever dealt with.... so much "Slop" (1990 integra, 2k tiburon, 2005 jetta, all manuals)

Not in the VN but others yes. The Forge Shifter Kit is money well spent. The solid bushings replace the plastic units, which actually create the slop. So I'm expecting the solid unit will remove any remaining weakness.
With the change in the shifter linkage alone, movement has become extremely positive and direct with almost no slop. I'd be satisfied with the Forge Shift Kit by itself, if the solid bushing weren't already available.
