Thanks for your input guys and yeah James that is going to have to be my next option by the looks of it. Already speaking with Harold from PerformanceLub....saw the link from a post you made in 2009?? ..or something I cant remember - i have read that much of info online its uncanny

My first post, however I have spent the last three hours reading this thread.

Such a clean Skyline and it looks amazing. Good job! :)

Cheers man :)

I will be ordering Redline stuff first thing tomorrow. Going to be a bit different and go with 2 litres of lightweight shockproof and 1 litre of superlight so that I get best of both worlds. Hopefully it fixes the issue.

Also.....not the clearest of photographs but the car has come a long way :yes:

So finally got around to doing the second gearbox oil change two days ago.....

Did it through the shifter hole this time as I now know exactly how much goes in.

RESULTS

First start up and drive around - This was immediately after putting the oil in. Shifted into reverse and first beautifully. Second was still hard to put into and notchy. Got nice and smooth when warm as usual.

Second day of driving - This was on the way back from work this evening. Went into second with a tiny bit of grinding for the first three four shifts. Then felt really good with slight stiffness but no grinding or obstruction.

It seems to be getting better but I refuse to be happy till it gets really good - so I will keep monitoring for a week......thanks to everyone who recommended Redline as you are right so far - it would be easy to say "should have gone with Redline" but then again hindsight is a wonderful thing.

If it's grinding then it's grinding, Redline does not FIX synchro problems it only HIDES synchro problems. You're synchros are stuffed and unfortunately Redline is only a bandaid fix. I run Redline in mine and it did help the problem, but 10 months later and it's gotten worse so the next step is a rebuild or replacement.

Yeah I know.....I am hoping for and if it gets me past xmas I will be a very happie chappie....house deposit time around then so I dont want any big expenses at the moment. Just happy its not prominent anymore to be honest

Okay I am now a Redline fanboy. Has started to really work well and gear changes are a lot smoother than before. Would seriously recommend it to anyone starting to experience gearbox woes.

In other news......had a play with the editing software on my phone

Have nothing new to report really......I have been slacking off on the car build for now as I am in saving mode but I am still very motivated so there is no need to panic.

Been building random "jap stuff" for myself in the meantime.......all for the big ass garage at the new place !!

Picked up this bit of whiteboard from Bunnings the other day

Got out my paint pens and put my artistic skills (or lack of them - lol) to good use....

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
