Admin - please move to appropriate section if causing disruption but need some quick answers :)

Hi Guys,

i am no expert when it comes to this and i have no idea what i am even saying :)

i am purely replicating what a reputable gearbox place in sydney has told me. Apparently the cluster shaft has sheared off the end and it needs replacing as per pics.

I have contacted Auto gallery Japan with great frustration because of my lack of japanese and resources i have available. But they do not have this part available off the shelf and would need to make it up and can not give me a esitmated timeframe as to when it could be made by. Hence my question of getting this made locally. A engineer that the gearbox place uses was approached and got back to me with a quote in excess of $2000. I personally found this to be a bit rich and would like some opinions to this or advice as to some possible engineers i can deal with.

Just a debrief - car makes 340awkw and shifted nice with this box from 1st to 4th. However coming down the straight going into fifth at EC would always crunch. Got gearbox fully serviced and replaced 5th gear syncro. Upon shifting into 5th for the first time - it was like half a crunch. On lap 6 - 7Krpm and a slighty quicker shift saw the end of 5th gear and reverse.

All input would be greatly appreciated.

You could try Albins down here in Ballarat. Seeing they make gear boxes and custom parts. They should be able to knock one up OK for a price.

And I'm tempted to say put a standard box in it at that power level.

Agreed - most of the quick tracked vic GTR's with that sort of power level (and more!) use the std box.

Good luck with the hunt!

You could also try PAR

http://www.par-engineering.com/

Have not heard much good things about them - but will speak to them

Also i am currently running a standard box with no problems whatsoever, but having the luxury of the closer gear ratio and piece of mind that from 1st-4th gear i could throw it in. Its definately something i would like to get back into the car. From the reviews i hear and have looked at the Japs rate this box highly :(

Ok, I know nothing about this box you have, so can't offer any more info for you sorry (pretty sure I met you at Eastern Creek a couple of wednesdays ago?).

I do know someone who's just removed a perfectly working and quite fresh PPG dog box if you change your mind.

Hey there,

are you the owner of the Envy imports 34? or the one behind it? from memory - either or, both sweet rides :D

is the PPG box helical or straight cut? if you could pm me the asking price this would be great!

Cheers

Mate , just wanted to know if you ever got the auto gallery 690 box fixed ..Was looking into options other than just the OS or PPG option.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol

      I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.
