I found that Getrag 6 speeds are very quiet...

More so I didn't notice it being noisy...

its got the odd clunk here and there, mainly going from 2nd to 3rd. cold mornings are not really helping can be a bitch to get 2nd sometimes. but then im not used to these gearboxes. the manuals ive driven were little cars and than my old r34 was auto. so in all seriousness i dont know anything and should stfu lol.

on another note its going in for a full service and suspension is getting changed also new caster arms fitted, should be even better after this.

it does that if you have the wrong viscosity oil in the box, or if you're still running jap oil in your aus car. which is probably why it runs smoother when you drive it for a while cos it's had a chance to heat up and become more fluid.

same principle as engine oil... thinner oils for turbo cars etc so your turbo doesn't choke while the oil heats up slowly.

which is why people reckon redline's a miracle oil. it's just a different composition to the regular stuff.

Yeah that's one scenario.

Well the R34 GTR is not all that new these days... It be good to give it time to warm up, so when you drive the car, just take it easy for about 5 - 10 mins and gear changing should smoothen up.

Like what Shan said, do a gear box oil change and see how you go.

Getrag 6 speeds are tough gear boxes... (To a point...) And will take you a long way with the right maintenance and usage.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
