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

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
