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...

No probs

Oh! That would definitely good to know lol. Mine is an 89

Brockaz is without "the list"

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

    • Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.
    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
