Eh Guy's,

Un fortunately my car needs a new gearbox.

I happened late one night last week after work when I was testing a chipped ecu by using a g-tec meter. I launched and went to change to second and it didn't wanna go in so I backed off and tried again. It went into gear although wen I took my foot off the clutch all i could hear was a loud rattleing sound coming from my gear box :)

I was happy with the chip though, I managed to get 0-100 in 5.2 secs wit the chip and consistant 5.9's without it.

Now im up for $500 for another box plus labour :)

take it easy

Mark

it always hurts to hear something like that happen... bad luck mate

you should go nuts with the next one with a trans cooler etc. to make sure it survives those launches. i recently put a trans cooler on my auto gearbox... $80 from supercheap and only took about an hour to fit and connect!

The gearbox in the R33 n/a is the same as the R32 GTS-T box actually.. so may actually be useful if its manual.

Thats bad luck Mark. Guess it wasn't feeling to healthy after you said it seemed better :D

Least its only only the RB20 box and not an RB25det one.. the r33 ones are like around $2k for one!

transmition cooler ehh.

sounds like a great idea!

did u fit it yourself???

thanx for the advice mate

:D

my dad and i fitted it.

very easy actually i didn't have to do much.

i put it in the drivers side intake area in the front bar (opposite side to the intercooler)

the one i bought came with the cooler, hoses, clamps, and some cable ties.

i had 2 metal brackets lying around the garage, and bent these into an "L" chape so that one end could bolt to the top of the compartment, and the long ends could hang for the cooler to attach to.

- took out the battery and drilled 2 holes under it to bold the top end of the brace to

- secured them with nut/bolt each

- placed the cooler in front of the hanging ends of the brace, then used the supplied cable ties to attach it. they are some special sort of ties that are designed for this. they run through the fins

- attached hoses to intake and exit side of cooler

the trannie fluid enters and exits the radiator down the bottom on the drivers side

- i loostened one hose at both ends, then removed it and replaced one end with the intake, and one end with the exit of the trannie cooler

- added about 500mL of trannie fluid to accomodate extra capacity

presto!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
