these getrag gearboxes are noisy buggers, they seem to shift more smoother the harder you accelerate lol.

up until you destroy 5th and have to cruise in 4th or 6th.

ill iron out all the kinks of it if you like :down:

haha, its ok its meant to make all those little noises anyway its normal. i looked up supra's and they are the same and im sure bmw used the same gearbox as well.

whats your gearbox like? ive heard that evo gearbox's can be a bit notchy? dont know if its true though.

how would i destroy 5th? by the time i get to go into 5th im just cruising by then or else id be way over the speed limit. i guess at a racetrack would be different.

yeah mines good, have the 5 speed

unlike the evo 8/9 which have the 6 speed the 5s are just a little stronger

when i rode with jamie, the GTR's driveline was noisy as f**k!

i read thats normal, really makes it feel like the cars got its own soul though :)

on another note, nick you going autosalon?

thats a good point, i didnt buy it for it to be quiet and comfortable ( even though it is actually very comfortable). if i wanted that i would of got a luxury barge. i worked my ass off for this car and im happy with it :O .

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
