I've got a similar issue in 3rd with my os box on my R33 gtr. It vibrates only in 3rd but I don't notice it unless you keep your hand on the stick. I've also got a brand new os giken set in my 32 gtr and it doesn't do this at all - totally vibration free in all gears. My old man who's a gun mechanic assembled both os boxes. He is putting it down to the 3rd/4th selector fork being a bit worn on the 3rd side in my 33 os box, making it vibrate when it's trying to hold it in gear. If it were a shafts, it wouldn't vibrate in only one gear.

Thinking of going back to a stock box for the 33 anyway as I don't like the ratios of 1st,2nd,3rd on my GT-SS turbos gtr. I think they are way too tall. Seems a good match for my T51 on the 32 though.

What are the ratios of the os box? thinking of getting one

Had a drive on the weekend of 2 GTR34's one with OS box and other with the Auto Gallery Yokohama SS690 and gotta say the later was smooth as silk to drive. Super smooth changes, real quick and real slick engagement compared to the OS box.

Definitely made my mind up to go the AGYSS690 !!

They are supposedly strong as the OS box and more popular here...

Who's car are we talking about now ? Mr. Keets seems to have a R32 GTR so he would've needed all the same parts I needed for my R32 GTR, which would include a new selector on

Yeah I don't recall a selector fork being on the bill. I looks like the box is coming out...any idea of the effort required to change it out?

I'll put that call in the hand's of my Tuna...the guys who did the original job. I'm a bit pissed at them for this as we've had the "do it right first time and don't skimp" conversation before.

Is this going to be a major operation you think?

I've been speaking with one of my engineers at work about this and he has offered the following. It may be the natural frequency of the driveline, exaggerated due to the inclusion of the CF shaft

So my plan may be to put a new bearing in the old shaft(s) and try it out before rebuilding the box *fargen box fargen GT-R fargen lol*

Discuss

I have put or is that poured a fair chunk of change into this car in preparation for the stroker kit and the inevitable defect that will head me towards a full strip down for the track...so I want it right. These cars are such a weapon when they're tight and smooth, so it's box out.

Been having discussions with guys at HKS here in Japan and other tuning shops and we have come up with a slight different build plan for my box.

Original reccomendation was dont use the OS gearset and go the yokohama Auto Gallery 690 set but after many discussions with crew that are using this box the prognosis is the best box you can do for street is a combo of the 2 brands.

Run the OS gear set with strengthened input shaft and have Auto Gallery Yokohama build the box with their double con synchro system. what you get is a strong box plus super smooth shifts and a box with no vibration. This setup is supposed to be a killer box for the street.

Everyone here in japan says the same on the OS box ..around the 80kph mark a natural harmonic vibration occurs. I heard it reffered to from anything here as shudd shudda to a cat meow sound!! Japanese sound affects are hysterical.

My box will be pulled out next sat and rebuild will start. I'll keep you updated on the cost etc as may look at getting some made to send to oz if anyones interested.

Try new 3rd/4th fork Mr keets ? Mine don't make noises at all as mentioned they do above. To repeat I have a brand new os box with uprated input on my 32. Done 5000km. Absolutely no vibration or noise in any gear what so ever at any rpm at all. Me and my old man built it. This has the series 3 synchros which needs a different selector fork for the 3rd-4th setup. The box in my R33 has an 'OLD' OS gearset which uses the older 32/33 synchros and uses the original selector fork for 3rd/4th. This box is the one that vibrates in 3rd. Maybe some people haven't got the RIGHT fork ? I'm going to put up with it though as I don't consider it bad enough to change on the 33. Is it really that bad MR keets ? I recall a list of parts you put down in another thread when you were building it. If you used all the parts on your list, the 3rd/4th selector fork was definitely on it. I remember comparing parts lists to mine.

I can't remember the cost for just the fork - maybe $100, $150 ? I got my stuff for the OS boxes from Darron at Just Jap. To do the whole new synchro + fork setup in parts was around $900 for me. I supplied part # though. Ah here it is -

I'm pretty sure it's 32811 - 05U10 for the Selector Fork.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • 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?
