I'm reading the TWM instructions posted in Batman's 7th gen shifter install thread, I found them here.
Anyways I have a spare shifter base so I thought I might try my hands at removing the stick but I cant get the pins to budge, and judging by whats in those instructions, mine looks different to the USDM one...

Well since USA guys use JDM gearboxes (ie the S54 from a 3S-GE clip or the E154F from a ST205 clip) they use JDM shifter cables and keep their USDM shifter bases right?
By this logic a USDM shifter base will fit into my JDM car thus allowing a 7th gen short shifter to be used? You guys in Canada might have a market for this, obviously would be harder to obtain the USDM shifter base here in New Zealand (Unless the NZDM 5S-FE model has the same shifter base which I doubt) so that really only leaves us with the TRD option which is NZ$650, the 7th gen short shifter kit is only NZ$99
