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.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
