Pretty Basic...

Rb26dett, RB25Det box, OS Giken BD Tripple plate clutch

lined up and straight

slide it up but with about 2cms to go to get it to be flush with the block to do the bolts up, it just stops and no matter how hard we push and twist it wont go in..... had 3 of us trying to get it in and wont go all the way....

It should just slide in right??

Ive spent 3 weekends on it and ready to smash a windscreen!!

by no means am i an expert but it should just go in??

HELP!!

free SLAP to anyone who can come and put it in.....:S

it might sound stupid but did u check if the spiggot bearing slides over the end of the input shaft. ive seen a few people at my work that havent checked and went 2 put the box in and it dont fit pull it out and surprise it dont fit on the input shaft, and r the dowles correct as in only in the block and none sitting in the gearbox

mate i have just had the same problem TODAY!

i found that the new spigot bush i put in was too small for the input shaft, so i grabbed my dremel and grinded down the inside of the spigot.

the box was still 1cm out so i just put a few bolts in the bell housing and tighten till it was flush!

bastard of a job!

let us know how you go!

Yep. Agree with the comments above........... Sounds like your spigot bearing is too small.

Some advice from an old fart... Don't try to grind the bastard out with a file or drill etc. Wait and get the right sized spigot bearing/bush. They are an important part of the drivetrain, and the time you lose sourcing the right bearing will pay for itself many times over with many kilomoteres of stress free driving in the future.

Good luck, Steve.

silly question, but did you align the splines on the plates or did you just use one of those universal alignment tools that doesn't have splines?

2cm suggests you aren't thought the splines yet. Can i suggest removing and checking that the clutch hasn't been damaged with all the force being put on it?

While you've got it off you should be able to easily dummy up the box and confirm that the spigot fits (if it's the original bush it will fit, rb26 gearbox spigots are not smaller than rb25)

The os Giken Plates have slots in the flywheel that automatically line the splines up.

At that point its in you cannot twist the drive shaft which indicates its locked into the splines.

You say the Spigot bearing is the same size? this is a r34 box not a r33 is that still the case?

99% certain they are the same. Never measured one up but i just can't see nissan changing when they have used the same sized input shafts on every box i've ever looked at.

It's an easy enough thing to measure even with the clutch bolted to the flywheel as you can still access it.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
