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.

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

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
