I went through 2 boxes in my vl and now my skyline is making more power then what the vl was so if rather do it sooner then later kind of thing. I was thinking dog but I can't even find someone to do synchro

Were they VL boxes that broke? What broke in them?

I've gone through a couple of Rb25 boxes, though have not broken the gears, everything around them are what was breaking.

It sounds like you give it a hard time so I would look at going a dog set.

Award diff and gear box build them as well as Advance Motor Mechanics.

they were rb25 boxes the first one I stripped the gearset second one destroyed 2nd and 3rd synchro.

dog will be the way to go and it's not that much more for what it is

hoping for over 500kw at the wheels and I don't want to be babying it lol

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
