HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa Great seat covers!

Why not let SAU do it up for you? Im sure there would be a heap of old parts people would be happy to donate as long as you're willing to "install" them....

(not that none of these parts would actually be used, just cosmetic :banana: )

Anyone got a spare FMIC?

Oil cooler core? (lines not needed, it looks more ghetto when not plugged up)

Rims?

Roof spoiler?

Dildo gear knob?

Exhaust cannon?

Pod airfilter?

Bonnet vent - wrx style?

Roof vent - again, wrx style?

;)

you didn't laugh at my daily and it's worse than that!! now I'm thinking that you waited till I left and went back inside and pissed yourself laughing so I couldn't see ;)

I was being kind..lol....kinda. Yours Shell - Well it looks like a real Drift Pig with that paint job...nope thats not it. I meant to say real pigglet! bahaha.

  • 3 weeks later...

Didn't change rego and we cbf getting everything fixed on it!

This is a way better car and so far is proving to be a much better decision. Just need to find someone to do the CV joints and she'll be all good.

And on another note I think 4th gear synchros on the GTR are deaded :P Getting it looked at in a week or so.

Smurfs blood?? I'm apparently using quite a good transmission fluid that apparently shouldn't be ready for changing yet. Ed changed all fluids over for me when I bought the car.

He's going to change it again just in case but he's pretty sure its the synchro.

And again the exhaust/intercooler takes a back seat. Anyone had to do this kinda work before? I'm guessing its expensive?

Are both your boxes using smurf's blood already?

changed the fluid over shortly after i got the thing and that brought 4th back to life for a while but its getting a bit notchy again. 5th didn't change at all with the new fluid.

Try redline shockproof and see if that fixes it - its a strange blue fluid so thats where the name smurfs blood comes from. You'll see when you see the container

If it really is the synchro's that are gone, the boxes will have to come out and be stripped etc then worn synchro's replaced. While its all out and open, its a good time to upgrade to a new gearset if more power is on the cards at a later date (or some hard driving, fast shifting etc).

A new box is about 3k or so. From memory getting synchro's replaced is around the $1500 mark depending on whats broken etc (labour to pull the box out, strip, inspect, replace worn parts, assemble, refit to car) but may be more. I know someone in Sydney paid about 2k for that same service but the parts replaced inside make a difference to price obviously.

FYI mines in great condition, doesnt crunch at all, although i am careful on changes, its got a short shifter that i know is also shortning the gearbox life. When (not if) it's destroyed, im going the PAR straight cut 5 speed, comes with everything new that matters, and will cost about 4500. Of course thats for big power, so for anything up to 400kw atw as long as you dont launch it all the time and slam gear to gear, just get a 2nd hand box that you can test first and sell the old one for cheap knowing the buyer will have to fork out a fair amount of coin t get it going again :D

Yeah please keep us posted!

I just had a look around for a new stock box, as the 3k i mentioned might be wrong since the exchange rate changed. Turns out its a good thing i did;

Stock pull type box (pull, push, prices should be the same): $3499

http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=278&page=1

OSGiken gearset: $4799

http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=278&page=1

PAR is without doubt the best option now for a car like mine

LOL Just Jap is the last place in the world I'd be looking for parts that expensive :P

I agree, but its an indication of price :D

Ive used Canberra Nissan for GTR parts in the past, the old guy that works there is pretty good. Give him a call and ask for a price :P

N1GTR is that $4500 for the PAR gearset or $4500 for a transmission exchange?

Gearset supplied, fitted, in your box

Yes will certainly be shopping around. See what the second hand parts market has in the way of new or slightly used as well.

On a happy note it seemed to be behaving itself this morning but I think the fact that it has started playing up means it's only a matter of time. I'd just prefer it to not be right now :P

The GB didnt fail, people's perception of PAR failed after hearing lots of bad things about PAR gearboxes letting go. What wasnt mentioned though, is that they were all SR20 boxes, so after a wave of unhappy SR owners PM'd me and made the thread look shitty, i closed it cause i CBF'd with anyones bullshit when all the time the GB was meant to help people :D

...not a single person came forward with a GTR box that had a problem. There's a reason the RB box into the S chassis is so popular. There's even a few traders selling the kit as a complete bolt on option on NS.com

So yeah, im going PAR, there's also another low profile but massive HP GTR up here thats about to aswel. Come to think of it, there's a very high HP and profile GTR being rebuilt now and using a PAR box (oil pump let go on motor).

Anyway, to each their own

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
