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

And no, never had a problem with the glovebox either!

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 :)

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
