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.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Hiya!

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!

      Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!
