changing gears easier would save you 5k

cost benefit ratio for you being nicer to your car is very high, and would allow you to be quicker at the strip.... as you would get to the end

lol

lol its no fun now is it :P

If you do end up chucking another stocker in, try Redline Light Shockproof. IIRC TO4GTR broke a few stock boxes, but then it survived after he switched to the Redline. Of course the tiny sample size means the evidence is very weak, but since most people dont break gearboxes at your power level, it might be worth a shot if youre not using it already. Or maybe PM him to see if he thinks.

What oil did you use in the broken boxes?

ok I can get a OS Giken 3 gear set for $2,600

i think its a fair price... anyone know if any other place sells it cheaper??

also does one have any experience with their close gear ratios?

is it just going to accelerate quicker... and I'll be able to use 5th for highway driving??

Keep the standard 5th. You don't need it reving it's head off on the freeway. I did that with my box.

$2,600. Who is that through?

Drive mine out at texi. The ratio's are longer. 87 km/h first, 138 km/h in second and 190 km/h at 8000 RPM.

To4 Dave started out with a route 6 box, smashed that and went Ppg :)

Damn - must have been someone else then. Maybe BWRGTR.... pretty sure the handle was six uppercase characters. I cant find the thread tho, so....

No, in this case I do mean Light Shockproof, not MTL.

im getting the input shaft... but i dont see the need for 5th

You will if you break it.

That said, I know people have broken OS gearboxes as well with 380-400rwkw.

Lots of people strip 5th @ trackdays where you get into 5th simply because it's not meant for busting top speed/max power type stuff.

It's all about mechanical sympathy. If you show some, you won't break stock gearboxes.

Mechanical sympathy is great - and it's free!

I have the stock box, with a pretty short short shifter (10mm from in 1st gear to in 2nd gear), redline lightweight (smurfs blood) - been in the car since i bought it in 2005 and no issues. It even has a solid centre triple plate against it, and a 3L making decent power.

When it blows, it will be the 3 speed kit, with input shaft and the centre plate.

haha Deano mate dont worry, it's copped its fair share of launching. Never off the limiter - i like my oil pump intact, but 7500rpm launches no problem

Bought a spare gearbox for it in 2006 and yeah, it's gathered years of dust cause this one just keeps going! Never launched it on semi's in the dry though, i'm pretty confident that will be the end of it

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What's wrong with the OEM filter. They do the job perfectly. As to your actual problems. Stop driving the. Take it to a mechanic. If you actually do have a fuel delivery limitation and you are putting it under load, you could be killing it.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know the answer, but my uneducated guess is this will not work (or, not as you want it to). I would wire the SLD into VSS1, I bet that is what the limiter uses However, I also bet the ECU compares VSS1 and VSS2 and throws and error if they are different. Best suggestion I can make is wire it into VSS1 and see how you go, I guess the error will only appear above 180 when then SLD is active. If it appears at lower speeds put a switch into the SLD earth (or power supply) and only turn it on when you need to go over 180.

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By Diomedes_ · Posted

      Hi all, So, looking to do some general maintenance on the car, as it has developed a some slight (related?) problems; Three problems that I think are related. 1999 R34 GTR RB26 - engine will sometimes cut out while left on idle, but will keep going if I keep throttle input. Usually after having driven a while. Its random, somedays wont happen at all, others will happen once or twice in a half hour drive. - Second issue is that while driving, the car will sometimes not be able to get past 3k rpm, no matter how much throttle input I apply. - Lastly, car will sometimes be real laggy climbing through rpm, but if I apply lots of throttle problem will seem to clear and go back to normal. All issues come and go, again somedays no sign of any problem, other days will just be stuttering around for ages.   I think it might be either the fuel system, or maybe the AFM?   Either way, I am going to clean the AFMs, and replace the fuel filter, use some injector cleaner in the next few fill ups, and might look at doing the fuel pump aswell.   Question I have, is filter such as; https://www.efisolutions.com.au/pro-fuel-filter-30-micron-an8-orb-black Fine to replace the normal filter? Their product page says as a prefilter only and not as the main EFI filter, so I'm guessing I would still need the stock one? Can I get an aftermarket one that has AN8 fittings to replace the OEM one? Or is the OEM one just something you have to live with?

      I say this and there’s a Nistune r34 GTT MT ECU for sale on eBay.de but I need to figure out compatibility between the AT harness and MT ECU - TCS considered. I figure this HKS SLD is a quick bandaid anyhow.
