Well sounds like you need a dog box. They are wicked to drive just a waste of money wearing dogs rings on the street instead of track. Was going to go PPG 5 speed dog but thought I needed closer ratio 6 speed with big laggy turbo on R32.

Do you actually drive these cars to work ? My cars are registered but have only clocked up 16000 km on R33 in 6 years, and thats with three 3000km trips to Adelaide and back ! Plus I get too dirty to drive them everyday. Maybe I should drive my cars more..

theres a very good chance I would be interested in this. Any idea what kind of shipping costs I would be looking at to Ontario, Canada? Also, sorry if I missed it, but if using the helical gears OEM synchros are required? supplied?

Ill see about shipping

Synchros depends on what your box has currently. Would you send your stock box here and get it done then send back, or just send the parts over and you fit the kit to the box?

Well I would imagine it would cost a small fortune to ship my box from here, so I would just like to have the gearset and all required parts shipped here. Currently I have the standard R32 (1990) box with dying synchros. I have heard the R33 synchros are much better than the R32 ones. Would I have to order the synchros from nissan myself?

anyone buying a gearset from PAR will be ripped off i have been so DONT do it. i paid $5900 for a sr20 syncro gearset and it has f*ked up on me 5 times yes warranty did cover it but everytime it took 2months to fix it and i had to pay the labour to pull and put the box back in 5times and had to pay for oil also.

Now my box farked up again about 2 weeks ago this is the 6th gearbox i ring him up and he trys to put it on me by saying how my driving is shit and stuff like that.

and then he says we are no longer trading in australia and have moved overseas that i would have to pay someone to open it up and purchase any parts from PAR that were needed i told him its still under warranty.

He said you know there is no warranty in this performance and racing. i told him it says it clear on your website that warranty is available within 6 months. overall i know he wasnt gonna help so i just hanged up. thats $6k down the drain not even including labour&oil i wouldnt recomened them to anyone even my friend had the same problem the guy is a rip off.

well that definitely is not good feedback or assurance for anyone on this forum

yea for sure, can anybody else give some feedback please? I'm not about to send this much money to the other side of the world unless I know I'm not going to get bent over.

I had a mate who got his HKS 6 speed reco'd by a certain Sydney gearbox manufacturer (it may or may not be PAR but due to forum rules i cannot say its them) it took 6 months and after constant phone calls was lucky to ever get it back. Two of the gears were unselectable and had to be fixed by another company. Id be very wary.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
