Fall in love with your Honda again through precision-engineered driver touchpoints. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for Acuity Instruments, the masters of Honda drivetrain refinement. From world-class adjustable short shifters to compliance-reducing bushings, we facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for drivers who demand a crisp, mechanical connection to their gearbox.
The Driver Experience & Product Range
Acuity Instruments was founded by engineers with backgrounds in F1 and LMP1, and that motorsport pedigree is evident in every component. They specialise in removing the "spongy" feel inherent in factory Honda rubber bushings and plastic shifter frames. By utilising aerospace-grade aluminium, stainless steel, and low-friction bearings, Acuity products provide a tactile, high-definition shifting experience that is as durable as it is refined.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the complete Acuity Instruments catalogue for the Australian market:
• Adjustable Short Shifters: Featuring the 4-way adjustable units for the 10th and 11th Gen Civic (FK8/FL5 Type R), specifically designed to fit RHD interior consoles perfectly.
• Stage 1 & 2 Shift Kits: Comprehensive bundles including shifter cable bushings, base bushings, and centering springs for a total gearbox transformation.
• ESCO & POCO Shift Knobs: Ergonomically designed and insulated knobs available in various finishes to suit any Honda interior.
• RHD Throttle Pedal Spacers: Essential for perfecting your heel-and-toe technique by relocating the throttle pedal for easier reach in Australian-delivered cars.
• Super-Cooler Hoses & Performance Sensors: Including high-flow silicone radiator hoses and hall-effect TPS sensors for ultimate reliability.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we understand the specific needs of the Australian Honda community—from street-tuned VTEC builds to dedicated Type R track weapons. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your Acuity hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
Acuity Instruments FAQ
What is the benefit of the Acuity 4-Way Adjustable Shifter?
The Acuity 4-Way Adjustable Shifter allows you to independently tune gear throw, gate spacing, shift knob height, and shift knob orientation. This means you can tailor the H-pattern to your exact preference, whether you want a mild reduction for the street or an extreme, tight pattern for the track.
Do I need the RHD version for my Australian Honda?
Yes. Because the Australian market is RHD (Right-Hand Drive), components like the full shifter assembly and throttle pedal spacers require specific RHD-optimised geometry. We ensure that the kits we source are the correct versions for our local Honda chassis.
How quickly can you supply Acuity parts?
We leverage a robust international and local supply chain to ensure the fastest possible lead times. Most Acuity Instruments shifters, bushings, and knobs are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery Australia-wide.
