Just a bit of an update:

Got the car back now and it's working fine.

Few observations were made by the workshop:

1) The issue was the circlips. Apparently there's a TSB on this. Replaced with Willall replacements amongst other things

2) Tranny oil was absolutely black and filthy. I had scheduled servicing done though. Workshop has never seen oil this bad.

3) Had my transmission oil filter changed to a Dodson part. Apparently Nissan Australia does not have a listing on this part.

3) Had my Cobb AP repaired under warranty. Pretty quick turnaround from them.

4) Also had my service done which included diff oils. Apparently they were pretty filthy as well.

All up, it's a LOT smoother now. The only thing is a very faint oil smell from the rears which I can smell more in reverse. I think it maybe residue but i'll leave it for a few weeks to see if it disappears.

Looks like it turned out ok.

I had that same faint oil smell after fluids were changed...didn't last long

Sounds like you got shafted with your services, you paid but they never changed the gearbox and diff oils.......id go back to where you got you car serviced and blast the f**k out of them, you can do this I know because Ive worked at dealerships before, they sometimes hire horrible mechanics who just change the engine oil and filter, sometimes not even the filter and have seen any dickhead mechanics come and go.

Ironically after posting such a detailed post on how to prevent P2832 in this thread, I just got P2832. Looks like I've broken Shift Fork A.

Very tempted to build a box properly, as I have no doubt at some stage I'm going to want 800+whp.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
