guys i remember reading here that there are other ways of filling up the g/box with oil than th bolt on the passenger side?

ive just spent the past 1.5hours trying to undo the filler bolt (and lost some skin in the process) and it stuck.. ive tried everything...

so are there other ways to fill it up?

Could try the top through the shifter, that's where i filled mine. But it's a bit of a bitch to get the circlip on/off to get the shifter out.

You need a breaker bar. Put your leg on it... Thats how I undid my drain bolt at least.

:blush: I thought this only topped up the transfer case?

When I chewed 3rd gear I dropped in another wrecker rb20det box.

The drain plug came out fine but the filler plug was and still is 100% stuck.

I used a 1.5m breaker bar, using 2 people in a pit we bent the bar, we literally chewed through the metal of the filler plug, I bought a perfect fitting socket type fitting for it so there was no slack and no chance of rounding it, we didn't round it we literally moved the metal/alloy. :P

There was no way that filler plug is coming out.

I filled mine through the shifter hole.

the main prob i have is space and not enough room to fully make use of the leverage the bar gives....

out of curiosity what size socket have u guys used, as the bolt is square i went and bought a 19mm bit from repco which seems to fit snugly..

il have another crack tomoro in the daylight....

Hey mate!

Feel sorry for you! I had this exact problem on my 33 after i had drained the box :D

What you need my friend is a very big bloke to come round and remove it for you. I had a socket set with a ring spanner on the end (no breaker bar available) and one of my mates managed to get it off.

I found mine had some thread lock on it.... was not happy....

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
