thanks for the PM - I'll reply back shortly.

I think the early GTR32 boxes have slightly different internals and synchros to the later ones and also different to the 33s...

I remember reading that here but can't confirm.

will require more investigation...

i have "the list"...the parts cost $1300 trade.

they have gone up over $600 since i did mine...ouch

these boxes are not as cheap as a lot of people assume.

budget for $7000+ if you dont already have a 2nd hand gearbox and over $6000+ if you do.

Did a search...again...and found the problem. Previous posts claim only late model 33 g'box parts are available. It also eluded that the 5 speed kit may be the only option for an early 32 box anyway.old thread. I do remember talking to Ant at XSpeed and he did mention something about using 33 parts to upgrade with an OSG kit

Hey Paul...If you could post that up that would be much appreciated :thumbsup: the 1300 sounds familiar

correct, nissan have superseeded the earlier model parts on only series 3 r33 ones are now available. but they are interchangeble on the older boxes.

not good to hear the price of these still going up. we might end up with ppg dog box after all :D

Thanks for the confirmation Duncan,

Greenline are running a special on the 5 speed at the moment

Payment confirmed yesterday...kit left Osaka today...gotta be happy with that :D

Sometimes it a suck it and see approach...the list changes from box to box..i.e early 32 boxes require a different list to later 32 boxes and early 33 boxes the list is different again...its only the series 3 boxes 97 that are right and dont need the list.

I think mine need 7 different parts to be ordered to get it right.

The kit has arrived. :( unfortunately I'm OS at the moment so I cant unwrap it to see if this list is there. The shop that is building it has done a few before so they should be able to sort it out. Mines an early 32 box so it will need everything I guess.

let us know how it turns out mate and if you are ok with it I'd be curious to see a copy of the list and the prices.

I'm sure you will love the new box. :ermm:

Thanks Paul and Richard.

The prices...mmm $1300. I'll have to see a mate and get it trade. I'll scan a copy for you and the list will go in the Parts thread. I fear for what it would be "over the counter". :P

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
