While we are on quick questions lol

Im looking at getting an RB25DET engine package that used to be an auto, will this matter for me? (going into R32 as a manual) I know you change the flywheel etc but what about the ECU...

you can use an Auto ECU with a Manual but not the other way around. The only thing that will be a pain in the ass will be getting the auto sp.i.got boss out of the end of the crank but it can be done. you will probably need (well it'll be easier) a manual loom from the trans to the EB relay box but you can adapt the Auto one if you want to.

Quick question..i know you can buy a trans cooler for your auto..can this also be hooked up into a manual transmission?

As for the Trans cooler question, no you can't because there is no pump to move the G/Box oil. With an outo it is basically a big pump so there is a pressure feed to push the fluid through the cooler but with a manual they rely on contact transfer to move the oil through the box and there is no pump.

In race cars that need a cooler in their manual trans's they run an external pump to move the oil around. They also run a thermostat as the oil needs to be allowed to get up to temp.

Why are you thinking of fitting a cooler to a manual trans, they don't need it unless your doing long stints (1hr+) on the track?

Thanks DStrils, if I get that one I may aswell just get another loom because they are pretty cheap. The reason it caught my eye is auto and 81k say tight motor to me...

edit: Had an epic dumb moment, its late ok :D

the engine looms should be the same it's just the loom that runs down the drivers side of the engine that the alternator, oil pressure switch, transmission etc run of that's different.

Main reason would be just to keep the manual box nice and cool. Im not exactly awesome with a manual, due to lack of experience, and wouldnt mind having some kid of insurance so i know that the box wont be rushing hot oil and such. I was just thinking this because i remember seeing the trans coolers on the gtr z-tune, and whilst looking pretty scmick, makes sense to me.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
