Thats your problem, the clutch is very rattly.

You are welcome to listen to mine if you like but i dont think you have anything to worry about the box .

ahh, you got new user name!

yeah, they make a funny clack clack clack noise at idle once the DM flywheel is goooone.

Haha yeah i couldnt keep away!

yeah i figured this much bit paranoid really. i've bent over a few times for the car

i think i might have to change the oil in it soon also.

so what atf is recomended?

Yep wittout question use the Redline stuff on the 5 speed boxes in the R32 and R33's as it is tops. But I busted 2 sets of gears in the R34 before I learnt this lesson with the getrags.

Use the Castrol Transmax Z (ATF) - stay away from Redline in the getrags.

i wouldnt mind showing someone in sydney the noises i hear, who actually know what they are looking for..

it might just be the flywheel making the vibrations and knocking noises. as stated above when aftermarket clutch/flywheel is involved.

but i wouldnt mind just bieng sure.

My 34 dose the same, it is just the way they are, when you turn the car off you get that rattle. some times the throw out bearing can be heard at idle.

nothing to worry about....... I think ............. I hope............

Now heres another getrag related question.

on startup and the slow driving i do before i'm up to tempature.

i often find myself in gears i did not put it it. the shift is rather difficult to find anything. i often go from 4th to 1st, 2nd to 5th and so on.

i'm not sure if i have an aftermarket shifter. but its very close and tight shift anyway.

is this common. or could this be caused by oil that isnt too friendly untill warm?

Hi guys,

was doing some research, and found that some r34gtr owners in uk are using the 75w/90 in the gearbox oil and the ATF in the transfer case and this is recommended to them from nissan.

From what i have observed, the ATF has thinner oil properties that allows smoother gear changes but doesnt that also leads to less protection as it is thinner ? With thinner oil, you save the syncros but does that lead to a long term damage to the gears ?

IMO you'd be crazy to use anything other than Transmax Z. If the Motul ATF is not synthetic (like transmax Z is) then it cant have anywhere near the same protective properties. Normal ATF has about a third the service life of Transmax Z, it breaks down at much lower temperature etc - its far inferior.

Using gear oil is crazy talk.

yeah you got gear rattle. anything but the standard clutch/flywheel combo will do it. get used to the rattle or get a diferant clutch. (heavier flywheel and sprung centre friction discs)

it will still be noisy. just not as much. it isnt harmfull. just an anoying noise.

a alterative to atf is penrite sin gear oil 70. its a fully synthetic oil specaly made for use in the normaly atf oiled tremmec 6 speeds. aka t56 commodore/falcon

much much much better that atf. we have doubled the service life in the utes running it.

as far as im aware the reason atf is used in them. and others for that matter is that they have fibre synchros. (felt lining) instead of the usual brass style.

they require specific frictional properties from the oil or they will crunch and break.

same thing as trying to use normal gear oil in a auto. its to slipery for the fibre friction discs

we run a supra in production sports and have had it rebuilt using aftermarket brass synchros from the states and use normal gear oil as a result. (gears/bearings last longer) ive no idea where they were from but some one in usa makes the bits.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
