cheers man , is there anything gtr bolt on between -5 and -10 ?

Garrett USA , don't want to cut his lunch but ( Gav in WA ) has just ordered/got a set off garrett @ Sema to replace his -5's, they are slightly bigger but not -10's

+1 to the OP, the same guy above has smashed a couple of OS boxes and was told by OS the centre plate would stop that from happening, could be $1000 well spent..

4th no. 5th that's up to you. I kept the OEM 5th for highway cruising. The OS 5th is shorter than OEM. If the gears themselves are fine then reuse them.

Is it a Series 3 gearbox? If not you will need those parts. There is a list of those parts on SAU somewhere.

award diff just quoted me $2600 including labour

this is for their overhaul kit and replacing the various sleeves, bushings, hubs, bearings etc etc to bring it up to s3 gearbox

but they said that is the absolute maximum that would be charged

if anything is not needed then the price will come down accordingly

realisticly im thinking around $2400ish as my box is already out and she said some of the parts as usually not required but they dont like giving nasty surprises at the end so they quote the maximum at the start

so total box price is $3100 + $2400

hefty!

lol too late now... OS gearset is sitting on my bed so might as well use it

Tricstar can you PM me how much Competition Gearbox has charged you? only thing is they are in QLD and Award is pretty much a drive in drive out service (which I like alot)

Not really the same, they require maintenance so you gotta constantly pull them out and inspect them/service. Any signs of wear, replace the part or risk it failing.

O/S box is really a build and forget situation. Plus for a daily/street car, dog box... yuk.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
