I am new the forums and my journey isn't because I have a skyline but rather I want to use the drive system. I have a new anniversary 350Z that is JUN stroked (3.8) with Cosworth Heads, light flywheel, APS TT extreme system (only 12 psi at this stage), Tein Suspension and RP Racing Big Brakes 6/4's. Quaife diff with a 3.3 F/D and big axles. It is a widebody with Strosek Kit. There are a heap of internal machining bits and pieces that are still under development but its working extremely well with its closed deck. Its currently puting out a modest 396 rwkw with 600nm torque with a very wide and usable curve. We can easily add another 100kw to that, but thats for later. The project has been expensive but absolute fun. The car isn't a daily driver so I guess I can afford to take my time. The engine is coming out soon for some adjustments and more internal stuff, however I am looking at fitting the ATESSA drive system using a combination of M35X and R34 bits and pieces in an attempt to get power to the ground. It spontaneously breaks loose under WOT at about 4000 rpm - 7000 and although very predictable, its still wasting time and energy. It is an absolute hoot to drive.

I am picking your collective brains. This has only been done by JUN in Japan and the job was for track work and it looks butchered but effective. They cut the front off an r33 box and welded a VQ bellhousing to it.... ruf ruf. The only other one has been done near New York and its an auto with small power, but its a straight bolt on job using the M35X running gear. They only use auto transmissions. I want to get this right and so far it seems the most suitable box is the R34. Is it a strong box? Are there after market gears available? I have no obejction to buying new if I can get one, or rebuilding one to suit. What price should I be looking at?SWAMP me with information please so that I can get on a fast learning curve and get this project up and spanking the new GTR's......when they arrive.

you might be better served by asking your question in the "drivetrain and transmission" section of the forum :D

feel free to introduce yourself and post some pics of your beast in this thread though.

The R34 GTR gearbox is a getrag box, lots of companies in japan make aftermarket gearsets, etc for them. some companies like HKS and OS Giken make complete gearbox replacements which are sequential etc.

Enjoy your stay, hope you find the answers you're looking for.

      Don't leave a wrapped skyline out in the sun

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I could show you guys photos of wrap having been removed properly, and where the wrap was removed, paint underneath is perfect. Sections of the vehicle didn't have wrap on it, and in those areas, the paint work is destroyed because of how long it had been sitting in the hot QLD sun for many many many years. Wrap even still looked decent. Good quality wrap, and removing it properly shouldn't rip off the paint work, unless the paintwork was already shot to pieces before hand.

      R33 Window motor replacement (not switch or amp)

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Any write ups on replacing the window motor?  I've never messed with them (or window regulators) before.   Ever since I've had the car, the driver window would roll down just fine, but most often I'd have the try a few times to get it to go up.  As soon as it started to go up, it always goes up smoothly and quietly.  Seemed like a bad switch.  But now, its stuck in the fully down position and won't come back up.  I get =12/-12V coming out of the relay/amp when pressing the switch up/down.  So the switch and amp are working.  Just a bad motor.  I've also applied 12V directly to the motor and nada.   Any help on replacing the motor?  Can the glass and regulator stay in, and only replace the motor?  Or not possible?  Thanks!!!

      You are wrong. That's just Whiteline going along with the incorrect slanguage of the sheeple userbase. They are only correctly known as anti-roll bars. They are only incorrectly known as swaybars. They do do anything to prevent "sway". The swaybars that are fitted to trailler hitches do prevent sway. In the trailer. And they do not look like anti-roll bars. So, take your incorrect infopinion away.
