If you had to remove the engine and all the other engine bay stuff probably a good week to do it all properly, i already had my engine out, so it only took a couple of days.

Hi Guys

Have finally collected all the tooling i need to pull apart my gearbox, have found the problem with it, there were 2 crunchy bearings on the mainshaft making all that noise, so all in all a fairly cheap fix. Was gonna replace all the synchros and bulk rings and all the other little bearing but have found out nissan no long make spare parts for the FS5R30A Gearbox anymore so that was a real kick in the nuts. So i just be replacing the 2 bearings and slapping her back together.

Also just ordered a ship load of braid and fittings as i am re-doing my fuel system so i can run on e85 and also sent my turbo housing, manifolds and dumps away to be ceramic coated. I bought another set of cam covers and still tossing up the idea of getting them chromed or anodized, hopefully my newly painted engine bay will look better than every before.

Cheers

Benny

Yeah Cal gonna buy it by pallet 4x205Lt Drums, my r33 will only run e85 for power runs and drag strip, don't plan on using it for street use. But the R32 will most probably running on e85 all the time.

Ah wish the shed was another 3 bays bigger got to much shit in there, i'm hurrying don't worry should hopefully have my turbos and manifold back on monday then the engine is going back in not long now thumbsup.gif have to catch up with some time robi !!!

Finally got my turbo housings and manifolds back now its time to get this ball rolling and put the engine back in. Still waiting on a few more fittings and have ordered a Billion Power Steering tank and Got a set of Bride Floor Mats coming as well.

Hi Guys

Another update, got the engine in the car today, all went well. Still waiting on a few more parts to come in the mail and have to order the Vipec V44 yet but all in good time. Gonna send my other Cam covers away to Hi Octane next week to get powder coated (still don't no what colour to get yet). Should have my new Hankook tyres tomorrow, and hopefully here back about my new car i am getting. I have put a deposit down on a 2008 Mitsubishi Evo X MR a nice Black one as the white ones seem to be to expensive still, will hopefully have it all sorted out tomorrow as well. Anyways here's some pictures of todays progress:

Super Jealous

Hey Ben, whered you get the bearing kit for your gearbox? I've heard CBC Bearings sell a kit. Need to replace the bearings in mine I'm pretty sure, when I have a daily I will be pulling the box out and doing that. Will give me time to see if everything else is all good and order parts (if they are available) if I have to replace anything.

Back on your car but, engine bay respray looks good, its suprising how much of an improvement it makes especially on darker cars. My old Calais got much nicer with some paint in the engine bay

Back before I could afford a Skyline :P

Edited by 89CAL

Yeah Cal i got the bearings from the bearing shop across the road from bob jane tmart's in Victoria St i think it was United Bearings Cost about $30 each, you will need a lot of gear to pull the gearbox apart cost me about $1200 in tools just to do the job as you need puller kits and hydraulic press for putting the bearings on. As for the engine bay, the paint job makes it look 100% better than before should look fairly nice once complete, deleting all the ABS shit makes a whole lot better aswell.

We have a press at home, and dad has plenty of bearing pullers etc at his work so hopefully should be right, He seems to think hes got the gear to do it so should be alright lol

$30 each is alright, did you replace all of them? It seems I have at least one worn bearings on one of the shafts (has a nasty clunk in 5th gear and makes some noises when releasing the clutch in neutral) Thinking about getting a lightweight flywheel while the gearbox is out but not 100% sure on that yet

Anyway, enought thread stealing. Will talk about this further in the Mackay thread if you have any more information about what you found with the bearings and what you ended up having to replace.

Back to NUR33 :) haha

Change of plans again... still have some ideas floating around in my head but i'm leaning towards turning the R33 into a full and proper time attack car now as i have no need to have 2 street cars, as the Evo X will be here in a couple of weeks. So everything will pretty much be getting sold and starting from scratch. If anyone is interested in any parts give me a yell, i'm in the process of writing out a list of parts that have to go.

send me a copy of the list please :thumbsup: .

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
