Hey fellas,

Anyone have a issue with their gearbox opening when changing gears under power?

My last 3 R32's have all had the issue and it drives me insane and I'm yet to come up with a solution. I'm just about ready to tech screw the stupid thing closed forever :)

Any ideas/solutions???

Cheers

Simon

lol well played.

actually yes I have exactly the same issue.

in my race car the dash and glovebox are a little crooked from the cage install. As a result if I close the glovebox straight up it does not latch properly, but it looks like it is OK and stays closed until the launch. If you push it to the right when you close it, it is OK. which is a long way of saying....check it is latching properly. When closed properly it never comes open even crashes

Yeah the latch seems to leave a few mm gap when it is in the "closed" position... When enough force is added (through brutal gear changes) it just squeezes through the gap.

The latch isn't opening, just dodgy clearances... DAMN NISSANS

I've had this problem. Bought a new glovebox and realised it didn't fix the issue so I just grabbed some pliers and bent some things in the latch... :mellow: It stays shut now

do the gloveboxes in the 32 slide into place (can you remove them by opening then pulling them up, or something like that). if you can, then it may be worth looking at pulling it out and putting a bit of plastic or cardboard at the bottom of the slot that it sits it so that the glovebox sits higher. this should make the latch have better contact. or have a look at the latch and see if can be moved up at all.

Thanks for the idea, I just got a set of plyers and bent the f**k out of it!

Now seems to latch and hold :)

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high?
