Thanks Puresx, and MattR. Will contact u both when i do all the swaps.

Wont be till after christmas at this point, but thanks for the offers.

66 skyline GT - is that a series 1 as Cubes said? If so, ill contact u when i need to do the swaps..:(

Can they really tell AFMs?

I've got an auto gearbox crossmember that you can try. It doesn't fit properly on my manual box... Stupid japanese didn't source a new crossmember when they changed it...

They just look for the colour of the sticker to see if its std.

Mine being a q45 its yellow as opposed to the green of the r32 std one.

I should be set for parts now, as Cubes is swapping the gearbox and x member with me when he goes for the auto.

If i think of anything else, or need anything i'll post up ;)

the rb25 afm Pete has was mine, series 2.

maybe he should intsall it onto his Rb20det, as per original plans, and you borrow his rb20 afm?

;)

bad luck about the defect, that sucks for sure.

hrmm..I failed regency yesterday for defect..had 7 inspectors looking over the car..DO NOT go in on a friday arvo!!!! you wont pass..they have a emmisions testing booth being stup as wel speak...And they also picked out that i had a AM ECU :S really odd...Since they didnt evn look??

Anyway Gl with it..I went through with 2 way..dunoo that they liked it clunking on the way out..but too bad i got out b4 they put that on the list as well.

If anyone happens to have a recheck appointment at regency b4 NY that they dont need. PLEASE PM me ;)

Thanks, Bek

What x-member are u using Andrew? Mine looks a little dodgy is all. Id rather go through once, than have another defect for a few different items.

If i return it to stock its not that hard really, Cubes has 90% of what i need, + i still have me std ecu + injectors etc...

I had the stock x-member with a bracket on each side extending it bacwards, painted black they dont stand out.

I would definately change ecu back to stock, just that the gearbox is a bit of a job to change, then you gota change it all back.

yer ecu is coming out, and that means injectors are as well (550 rx7 ones dont run too well even with remap std ecus)

im not too worried about the gb, Cubes and i have done it a few times now and from memory got it in last time in about 1/2 hour :(

edit/ thats an hour out, then /2 hour to get it back in the next day

..they have a emmisions testing booth being stup as wel speak...

This is the biggest worry.

You will get hardly anything aftermarket through once that is done.

Pretty much 100% stock as a rock. Exhausts won't pass, no boost increase, pods and intercoolers might not even get through.

thats why im going back to 100% stock.

Im luck ive kept most of my gear as ive modded, except the items im loaning off cubes.

It really bullshit as there is nowhere to check if u can pass the emissions before hand, so its a multiple pass through for most people. Looks like a new way of making more money...

I'll be running stock boost, but for good measure i may throw on the std catback as well...

black, you will find that when u have those sacred papers from regency, its easy for you to foil cops to say that you have had all this stuff checked off from your last defect, as they should not have defected you in the first place for something so trivial when they got other cars such as piece of shit holdens that are 20 years old roaming the streets with excessive screeches from their timing belts as they roll down the road on flatspotted tyres wrapped around 15 inch rims.

This is my first defect in this car of owning it for nearly 4 years.

U can fix the car (in my case it lists too low, so just raise the car) and go to the cop shop - if there is a long wait to get into regency, and they will sign off and stamp the back of the defect notice to allow me to drive as per normal anywhere i want.

When i go to Regency its a complete inspection regardless if it has "non std gear knob" on the form or not.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
