Hey Everyone I have a RB25\30 built, with a GT3037 turbo. I tune cars.

I have a few question about my drivetrain.

Gearbox:

It looks like the hardening coating is coming off my Drive gear (4th) and 2nd gear. I have been advised to replace them or it will shit itself down the track. has anyone ever bought anything that is not genuine nissan?

I have no idea where to start or who to talk to.

I wouldn't mind looking at aftermarket options, and maybe some tougher gears in the early cogs, maybe first and 2nd, IF they can be had at a resonable price. Otherwise I'll just put fresh standards in.

Flywheel:

My Cast iron flywheel has a nice blue ring in the center due to heat. I have been advised to change it. Does anyone know any suppliers that have aftermarket ones at a decent price? I'm looking for something steel that is safer.

Should I lighten it also? I've been told on the RB30 it won't suffer the same cons as bad as a RB25 or RB20 (Having less torque up hills etc).

Can anyone share their experiences?

ur better off just gettin a 2nd hand box cuz to pull the gearbox down to replace the cluster shaft is alot of effort. and thye cluster shaft from wat ive been told is sumwhere round the 1200 mark from nissan. if u wanna do it up u could get a os giken gear set etc ive got a thread going for par gearsets to see wat ppl have to say about them.

Only nissan would sell that layshaft by itself, otherwise all other (aftermarket) manufacturers would have it coupled with new gears with different tooth profiles.

Flywheel, if you get a steel one for strength then don't lighten it as you will weaken it, the jap clutch kits that come with flywheels are not steel but are excellent from what I've seen.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
