    Filling The 6 Sp Getrag

    in Drivetrain and transmission

    Posted

    maybe the seals on one of those connecting holes is blown.

    btw why did a "mechanic" put more than 2l of oil in a transfer case?

    Thanks for the reply guys, when the mech tried to add in more oil at the side, (via the fill plug) oil is already leaking out, his explanation is that it shouldnt as previously when he opened the fill plug, the oil is still below the mark, it shouldnt leak out.

    He put more than 2l of oil in the transfer case because he is under the impression that the oil will flow into the gearbox once the transfer is full.

    You do realize, when you are filling through the gearstick with a GTR, you are filling the transfer case, not the gearbox as what would happen with a RWD skyline?

    Also the notchyness can be attributed to not using the proper fluid for the Getrag box as it expects ATF fluid (V160 from Toyota, same as what used in the Supra's 6 speed Getrag) not a gear oil.

    Yes, i realize im filling the transfer case, and im sure the fluid is proper (RP Synchromax) and the notchiness is only prior to the oil change.

    After the change, its smooth and alot better.

    However, the issue to note here is if by filling the full 4 ltres in the gearstick, will that 2 litres be flowing over to the gearbox, as the mechanic have sworn when he opened up the gearbox, there is a connector hole between the transfer case and gearbox,

    i didnt know the gearbox shared the same oil, r34gtr i worked on recently has seperate fills. redline yellow in the box and redline aft in the transfer.....

    the fact that both oils are probably red in your car, you could have no oil in the box.... and way to much in the transfer.

    Yeap, they share the same oil, to add to that, when we drain the oil from both gearbox and transfer case, they both had the exact same color and oil thickness(very subjective though). And yes the colors are red from factory.

    If (currently) there is absolutely no oil in the gearbox, should i be experiencing a very notchy feeling?

    Didnt fill in any oil from the side, all 4 litres is filled from gearstick, the connector hole will overflow the excess to the gearbox.

    Hi Guys,

    I know the getrag have been covered quite extensively, but so far i have not come across any threads that i can find on the issue.

    Went to my mech to top up additional RP Synchromax of 1 ltre from the side ( the gearbox itself) as previously the supplier ran out of RP.

    Driven the car for about 30 mins from my place to the workshop, mech jacks the car up and loosens the drain plug. He is absolutely surprised as to why the oil is draining out as previously he only filled in 1 litre in and it should not be draining out as the level of oil is only half ( He put his finger in and felt its half full)

    As he previously have seen the GETRAG boxes opened up, he realized there is a connecting hole from the transfer case to the gearbox. Ie anything more than 2 litre that is filled from the gearstick, excesses will be flowed into the gearbox section.

    Im just wondering if this is true ,and if anyone has completely drained all oils ( from transfer case and gearbox) and fill the full 4 ltrs of oil straigt into the gearstick. It was abit notchy before i reached there, but once the full 4 litres is filled in from the gearstick, i do realize gear change is very smooth.

    Any similar experiences from you guys?

    Thanks

    R34 Gtr Clicking Noise From The Boot

    in Drivetrain and transmission

    Posted

    To answer your question

    Yes, when the relay was clicking all the radio / lights , etc went dimmer as well

    Hope you will get your baby fixed :)

    Anyone has the part no for the accumulator?

    my R34GTR is having the same problem too. Wonder if its even ok to continue driving it, will it lead to any pump failure etc of the ATTESSA

    Thanks,

    Fuel Pump Issue

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    Hey all,

    i'm havin a bit of an issue with my fuel pump. When its at idle the pump will intermittantly make a weird noise. It's a mechanical sort of creaking noise. Sort of like its struggling to pump for a bit. This will occur intermitently. I've only ever heard it at idle, and it gets more frequent when the fuel level is low.

    it is a Bosch 040 in a RB20det.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Im having the same problem now. Previously it was fine after almost a year of installing a sard fuel pump. It tries to prime every 2 seconds on idle , but goes away once the car moves.

    opinions anyone?

    Yeah, thats my car, was prolly there for movies or something..

    Will be coming down to melb next week for 2 weeks, gotta get outta the bank for a while...

    cheers

    Fuel Pressure Regulators

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Have you checked your fuel pressure after the pump was replaced? If you have and it's still low you could check the voltage at the pump and make sure that is what it should be. If it's low then up the voltage. There is a few great tutorials on how to do this. After you have done all if this then maybe look into a fuel pressure reg. Have you changed your fuel filter lately?

    After the pump is replaced, i asked the tuner again and again if voltage is enough, he confirms its enough without rewiring or increasing. Yeap, i have changed the fuel filter.

    Basically, the tuner said after installing the pump, if my stereo works fine, volt is supposedly sufficient. :S

    Now i know the general consensus is that FPR's are not needed even for 300rwkw there abouts, provided with the correct injectors and fuel pumps. But what if the fuel pressure is low at idle, say 2 bar? Is it enough to justify that an FPR is needed?

    Basically, my setup is

    PFC, stock injectors, sard 280 lph fuel pump, pods and exhaust.

    During the tune, fuel pressure is low at idle, showing 2 bar, hence my tuner said thats the cause of the sudden spike in afr's towards the 7k rpm during a tune done earlier. Have replaced a fuel pump since, without increasing the voltage, although i have suggested that to my tuner, but he said its not necessary.

    Given that scenario, should i get an FPR? Planning to get a sard FPR.

    Opinions ?

    High Afr's - Dead Pump?

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Just replaced my fuel pump last week with a sard 280lph. Went on dyno today, fuel pressure at idle at low revs is still low, tuner suspects that is the cause of the sudden spike in high afr's during the tune.

    Will be getting a fuel pressure regulator next week and see if things improve. Will be getting a sard FPR.

    Hopefully this solves the issue.

    Dyno Run Test Results

    Paul,

    actually, the tune was done on the road, only after, i decided to put it on the dyno to get some numbers that the pinging start showing on the graph and engine light started flashing according to another tuner, who just did a power run on it.

    Looking at it, i might probably take it to somewhere else, that tuner is a bit stubborn and told me not to believe in myself but him. Have faith in the tuner. Well after the graph, i think i know the answer. LOL.

    Thanks all for the replies, i will get the fuel filter replaced this weekend.

    Cheers
