Try this bloke, he did mine years ago (Peter) 0419 791 951, He also arraged for a engineer to come out and fit the mod plate too.

Mod plate?? Why would it need a mod plate?

Ummmm I think your engineer just wanted more money, gearbox swaps are not a modification. But I've only done like 10 gearbox swaps in the last 10 years so maybe cops just love me.

The engineer i spoke to said i need one and so have all the highway patrol cops i speak to, I would rather spend the $50 and get a mod plate then get a $200 fine.

its your choice/money to spend but how often does a cop look at what gearbox you have in your car. hell ive had a jza80 supra gearbox in my 1972 celica and i never even got a comment at the size of it the 3 times i was defected/put over the pits for random things. cops have no idea what they are looking at, i have even had 2 cops try to tell me my car needed a cat.

sorry for the rant i just dont understand the logic behind most nissan owners..

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
