Does your overdrive button work at all? Mine stop working, It was in overdrive all the time and now and then the button would work and could take it out of overdrive... Yeah it what we thinking what it was doing... Playing with the button now, You can see the pin with the plate going for over the place when you push the button in and out.

I know with mine, the faster you went, the wrost it got. It sould like you got the same stutter as me...

What happens when it starts to stutter and you take it out of overdrive and then put in back in? With mine when the overdrive button worked, It would stop for a while and then would start away.

Would take the overbutton out and see how the pin moving around when you push it in and out and also take it apart and clean it, Clean mine few times and it did work of abit. Also take the gear lever out and check to the wines for the overdrive to see if they are not broken ect

I know mine off trademe. they are hard to find... But try trademe and the nissan place in chch...

Yeah the OD button seems to work ok. If I'm cruising and it starts to stutter, I can back off throttle, punch throttle or turn off OD and it will stop. But if I stop if by turning off OD, it will usually start stuttering again (while not in OD) within a minute. That's whats the transmission guy thought was strange - it stutters out of OD.

I'll check out the OD connection once I have the radiator back in (pump and belt change in progress).

So does it stutter in 3rd gear? My old gear box does a stutter in 3rd gear before we swap the gears over.

We going pull down the old gearbox in next few weeks and see if what we can find and we going to send the old torque converter to be cut open and see what going on with it.

I'm sure it the torque converter/gearbox/overdrive.

Ill let you know what we find.

Have you sign up to SDU?

If by 3rd gear you mean Drive without OD then yeah it does.

Keen to know what you find out about your old box - sounds similar to mine.

Haven't joined SDU - didn't seem to be much (any) technical/mechanical info there...

Hey hutchwilco, How are you geting on with your Stagea? Found the problem yet?

I sold my Stagea few months back :(

I've only just got it back into one piece - did cambelt, (water pump (was leaking)) etc then found the rear shocks had leaked out, and brakes were skewee so only bout to start it up again in months. I found while I was doing the cambelt that the exhaust cam was one notch -7.5 deg - retarded, dunno if that could cause some kind of stutter but we'll see.

I see a transmission on tardme for 80 so I might buy that as insurance. Should know by next week if the stutter is still there.

yep cheers, will have to test both those theories. I bought a consult kit for nothing on trademe, so will set that up to watch what the solenoids doing.

Thing is it stutters when not in OD. guess that could still be a rogue activating solenoid.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
