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.

thanks for that, you learn something new everday :O . its getting serviced next week so it should be all good after that.

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.

thanks for the info i appreciate it, ill let you know how it all goes next week after the service is done.

nah dont think so man, especially that its at showgrounds... if it was at exhibition centre i would cause when i get bored i would head to crown lol

ahh fair enough (damn, lift possibilities are gone! :O)

how do you get to the show grounds with public transport?

lol rightio..

i clicked vic wast... scroll down and see a box and think wtf.. then i see your reply haha

whats up with the box?

enjoy it. its the only box you'll ever see.

    • 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  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
