Are you planning on doing any work on the auto box to strengthen it up a bit before putting the turbo on, or just gonna see what happens?

Nice car too, it was looking really good on the 15th Anniversary cruise.

Thanks Mate, good efforts on making it from Bathusrt too!

My plans for the box is basically the transgo kit, and a transcooler with Thermostat. On the Transgo site, it says that the kit for this box is designed with turbo/super charging in mind. So with those two things in the box, I'm hoping it will cope. From what I have read, its mostly about keeping the temp down, as to not fry the box. Generally I don't drive it like I stole it, so if it survives the tune (which I will tell them about the box, and to be mindful of it) I'm pretty sure it'll go fine on the road.

Will that have any effect apart from speeding up the shifts? I was thinking more in terms of protecting the gearbox from any problems caused by the increased power levels, if that is even going to be an issue.

I thought that's what shif kits do??? :blink: to prevent "flaring and destructive gear changes" as per Jetwreck's words...

fkn LOL @ Dale.

Also LOL with Dale :)

Very interested to see the sump mod Alex

Is that cause you might be pinching one...? Sump has been cut to clear all various extra bits and pieces. It's going to be welded up monday. I'll get photos when done.

Lol Dale- its a build thread, not just a look at my POOOOWWWWWWWWERRRRRRRRRRR thread thumbsup.gif

Plus, someone said we have to fix a big black pile of backfarting parts first before getting carried away...tongue.gif

I'll get some photos of the kit up first. That'll shit Dale some more...

All good mate; I just saw the Clarkson ones & had to use themnyaanyaa.gif

Take your time & do it right; I'll stop filling your thread with junk now.

Watching with interest as this develops; it's going to be a very interesting package, with performance to match the looks.thumbsup.gif

Carry on.

Well, I got the sump back on friday arvo. Got modified to clear the front diff, and the stock oil cooler piping. This is what it ended up looking like.6275907256_845b266094.jpg

The hole on the rhs is for the oil return. When I got it the wings were the same size on both sides. The screen door in the top of the sump seems to act like a baffle.

Custom modded HKS sump, noice. When are the goodies going on?

Well, now I have everything I want. So, we want to sort out Craig's car before another ends up in bits all over the place. Hopefully within the next month or so. Wish you were in Sydney, I'd be getting you to make up a exhaust.tongue.gif

Nice Alex. Very nicely done.

Lose about 200ml of oil I guess? (not that it will matter)

yeah, probably lost a bees dick worth of oil. Not much to worry about.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
