I asked them the same thing, he said... Its the same as the nissan patrol box. You can go manual but would have to ditch the attesa. All wheel drive or Rear only. Of course then you would have to run a 350z ecu or full computer and loose all other sensors and cpus like abs? not to mention grabbing the clutch pedal bits from???

This gearbox should be able to handle heaps of power now and snap into gear, just like a manual. Im going for a higher stall too due to the slightly higher lag, If its anything like my mates XR6 box they just did, I will be very happy.

Patrol transfer case does not have a "on demand" setting nor a centre diff, so cannot be used on tarmac in 4WD.

I think that is what they were getting at.

Patrol is part time 4WD, Stagea is AWD.. gotta love a bit of marketing...

Whilst we are on how strong transmissions are, there is an off the shelf kit to fit Patrol gearbox and transfer case into a Landcruiser.. Apparently the LC transfer case is made of glass...

Spoke to Kyp at ATP today. My turbo is finished (as you would know Scotty) and was being delivered to R E tonight for refit. Kyp told me what you are doing Scotty - sounds great! Will post some pics up of the original damage to mine over w/e. Looking forward to getting the car back...early to mid next week i hope. :P

Now for the exhaust......off to that thread!!

do want a manual!

surely the 34 getrag would be able to squeeze in there somewhere

I went down this road a while back.....while the Patrol box was stong the 34 Getrag is probably the best option because it can handle the HP and Torque once you start tweeking.....it was also built as a sports box and we all know it will handle the MN35 AWD system. The only real problem I stumbled over was the bell housing.....everything else was pretty straight forward. The let down was cost.....if I could find a good one with the transfer case for $1,500 I would have gone for it.

Secret mens buisness apparently, no cameras allowed. :) I did ask for you.

I was going to get some pics of the car too, but theres not much of it left.

Heres a pic of the coilovers tho.

I would love to hear how you get on with these, they seem quite the bargain, if they're not too harsh.

The BC coilovers ceartainly look the part, I will fit them next week hopefully. Lots to do, I have to rebuild turbo, refit turbo, install trans cooler, ive got some heat shielding sheets to install on the inner guard and firewall around the turbo. Then fit the coilovers and get a wheel alignment. All this while the gearbox is getting rebuilt.

I need to fit an engine oil cooler also if I can find a cheapie. Speaking of which.. has anybody fitted one before?

I noticed the hose coming out of the filter block, can this be tapped into for the oil cooler? I hope so, it looks simple.

Scotty, that hose is from the radiator. The circular bit that your filter screws into is the OE oil cooler and, obviously, has coolant pumped through it.

Ok thanks mate. So I will still need a full oil cooler kit.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.
