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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
