  1. ok, just got back from the shop. Found out that the spline is just on the gearbox side. The 6 allen key bolts on the diff side of the tailshaft were done up by another employee of the shop, and that guy had done up the bolts, 1 at a time clockwise. Another employee loosened all of the bolts, then re-seated the tailshaft, and then tightened the bolts up in a star pattern. I took it for a drive, and the majority of the vibration is now gone. There's still perhaps a 5/10% vibration there, as opposed to say 30% previously. To people who have vibration problems after a clutch install, try this as a fix. Make sure the mechanic marks the tailshaft position mark before removing it.
  2. This exact problem has occured to me this week. I have an rb25det in a 180sx, and have just had my os giken clutch removed to have the plates re-made (dead clutch). Clutch was re-made by local clutch shop, and put back in by the workshop. When the car reaches approximately 90km/h there is a humming sound, and vibration coming from the tailshaft area, seems to be coming from just before the diff area. The vibration is not noticeable in first or second gear, only in 3/4/5th gear, above 90km/h. If i put the car in neutral in 3/4/5th gear, the vibration/humming sound is still there. The mechanic states he placed an indicator chalk mark on the tailshaft upon removal, and re-installed it at the same spot, as from previous experience if the tailshaft is not placed back at the exact position, then vibrations can occur. I've never removed the tailshaft personally before, but I can see that it has 6 allen key bolts that bolt to the joiner for the diff. In the centre of those 6 bolts, I assume there is a spline? I was thinking the spline may be a tooth or two out, but i can't see how this is possible, if there are 6 bolts lined up in place? Is there a spline in there? Here's an old pic of my tailshaft/diff;
  3. Unable to edit the first post (no button is appearing to edit it). BOV is now sold. Also, I believe the master and slave is from an R33 GTR, not R32. have a look at yours to check.

  14. Well, it worked I purchased a flex-a-lite 7" thermo and mounted it to the back of the oil cooler. Oil temperatures dropped 6 degrees with no other changes. This is just an indicator of the difference with regular street driving. I've got it controlled by a pivot fan controller, one spal 12" high flow fan pushing onto my air-con condensor, through to my radiator. The other is the oil cooler thermo, pulling air through from behind the oil cooler. This is in an RB25DET 180SX. I'd expect an even better result in a Skyline engine bay. http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture002cu4.jpg http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture001ej2.jpg http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture006oq7.jpg
  15. Wanted to buy R33 RB25DET Gearbox bellmouth lower faceplate cover I am looking for the half moon shaped plate that sits on the lower half of the face of the gearbox bellmouth. I have the 2 side brackets to hold the gearbox up, I just require the lower faceplate, cheers. In Brisbane on the southside preferably please.
  16. I ended up purchasing a 7" thermo, will be doing an install this weekend and posting my results. The pc fan thing was a joke, someone on here had actually done it but as i said, i can't find it in the search results and i can't remember what the application was used in. As a matter of interest though, there are 12 volt fans for pc's, notably the 20cm Antec style used in there better pc cases.
  17. lol, um no haven't even entertained the thought of having it as a wrx scoop setup So nobody has put a thermo on there oil cooler before and taken some before and after results? PS your avatar is great.
  18. Yeah it's more of a boredom thing :laughing-smiley-014: (90 oil temp on cruise, doesn't go over 100 oil temp ever) I'd still like to see it back down to about 85 on cruise. Relocated the oil cooler from behind the fmic, to being in the driver's footwell. I found that oil temps are slightly higher with no thermo fan drawing air through, even though it's in the air dam on the driver's side now.
