Where to buy Acuity Instruments in Australia: Chicane Australia sells Acuity Instruments online, from trim tools and shifter bushings through to fully adjustable performance shifters. The range centres on the Honda Civic Type R (FK8 and FL5), with 4-way adjustable shifters, Stage 2 shift kits, centering springs, cable bushings, Super-Cooler radiator hoses and a right-hand drive throttle pedal spacer. Beyond the Type R we list shifters for the FD2/FN2 Civic Type R and DC5 Integra, K-swap shifter adapter plates, a K-series fuel rail, ESCO shift knobs and the Podium oil cap. Every Acuity listing currently shows a lead time of 2 to 14 days, and Chicane ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast.
Acuity Instruments specialises in Honda driver touchpoints, replacing factory rubber bushings and plastic shifter parts with aluminium, stainless steel and low-friction bearing designs.

Choosing the Right Part
Acuity parts are chassis-specific, so check the chassis code in each listing title. FL5 owners get the 4-way adjustable shifter, Stage 2 kit, centering springs and Cerakote adjustment body; FK8 owners get the fully adjustable short shifter and throttle pedal spacer; base bushings, cable bushings and boot collars suit both. The cable bushing upgrade also covers the FD2, FN2 and FK2 Type R and other manual Civic, Jazz and CR-Z models.
Australian-delivered Hondas are right-hand drive, so full shifter assemblies and the throttle pedal spacer use RHD geometry. For engine parts, the K-series fuel rail suits port-injected K20 and K24 engines but not the K20C or K20B, and the select springs suit K-series manual gearboxes except the K20C.
Installation & What You'll Need
Shifters, bushings, centering springs and boot collars need the centre console removed for access to the shifter and cables. The throttle pedal spacer means removing and refitting the factory pedal, and the Super-Cooler hoses need the cooling system drained, refilled and bled. A fuel rail swap means depressurising the fuel system and checking for leaks before starting.
Typical requirements are metric spanners and sockets, trim tools, a torque wrench, thread locker where specified and coolant for hose work. Follow the instructions supplied with each part. Installation by a professional is recommended.
FAQ
Where can I buy Acuity shifter parts in Australia?
Chicane Australia carries Acuity Instruments shifters, bushings, knobs and Civic Type R upgrades and ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Check your chassis code (for example FK8 or FL5), search by Acuity part number, or contact our team if you need help choosing.
What does the Acuity 4-Way Adjustable Shifter adjust?
It allows independent adjustment of gear throw, gate spacing, shift knob height and shift knob orientation, so the H-pattern can be tailored from a mild street reduction to a tighter track-focused pattern.
Do I need the RHD version for my Australian Honda?
Yes. Australian-delivered Hondas are right-hand drive, so full shifter assemblies and throttle pedal spacers need RHD-specific geometry.
Does Acuity make parts for older Hondas?
Yes. We list adjustable shifters for the FD2/FN2 Civic Type R and DC5 Integra, a Hall effect throttle position sensor for the DC5 and EP3, and K-swap adapter plates for Civic EF, EG and EK and Integra DA, DB and DC.
Will the Acuity K-series fuel rail fit a K20C?
No. The listing covers port-injected K20 and K24 engines and excludes the K20C and K20B, so check your engine code before ordering.
