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*

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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
