R32 Gtr Gearbox Running Wierd/hot

Everytime I do a highway drive longer than 100km... so steady speed of about 100km/h at a touch under 3000RPM... my gear shifter heats up like a mofo, to the point where the rubber guard that sits on top of the shifter has had to have been replaced twice in the last year as it just warps and oil splashes out. The gears also get harder to shift into when it gets really hot. Anyone got any idea what's goin on in there?

What's the temp its supposed to run? I was thinking of running a trans oil cooler of some sort to try and get the temp down a bit. Anyone got any recommendations?

funky you don't want dexron 3 in the attesa system either. you want nissan matic d in there, dexron 3 in the transfer case, and manual gear oil in the gearbox :w00t: (oh, but I don't think that has anything to do with your problem. regular ATF and nissan matic D are pretty much the same thing anyway).

I would possibly try changing to a better GB oil. We all know friction causes heat and low qual oil allows more friction. :rofl:

Just throwing out stupid ideas 1 and 2 for the day;

Your exhaust isn't resting against the box by any chance? You still have the heat sheild around the cat and your cruise mixtures are ok and not lean (causing excessive exhaust temp)?

Where does the gearstick sit in relation to the transfer case in a gtr? Could the problem be in the transfer case? is the attessa constantly slipping in regular driving? same size wheels front and rear?

richard... really? I've always used dexron 3 in the attesa... any harm in using it over nissan matic d?

yeah was considering trying redline, n seeing how it does. strange thing is I used to run the same oil in my old GTR and it didn't get that hot.

BHDave: cruise mixtures are around stoich, and exhaust isn't resting against the gearbox. no slip in attesa, same sized stock R32 GTR wheels front and back with the same sized tyres at the same pressure.

used to have an R32 GTR... sold that... got an R32 GTS4 now with a GTR gearbox and GTS4 gears. current car count is down to a respectable 3 :D

interesting.. that would be a patch remedy though... i'd rather sort the problem out. definitely will look into buying one of those if I can't sort this out buy changing OEM parts etc.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
