I'm interested because my box seems to be pissing oil out of it but it has a new extension housing seal and only seems to weep from there (Silvia boxes seem to always leak from the extension housing).

I thought maybe I'd over filled it.

I assume it's coming out from underneath the boot around the shifter, the rubber one, not the interior one, and running down the box.

My Diff is fine though and is sealed, I don't recall my 33 having any way to leak from the diff?

Both have a breather port.

Standard Nissan:

The diff has a hose that runs up into the chassis rail near the rear right wheel.

The gearbox has a hose that runs to a hard line high up near the bell housing.

Both just vent out to atmosphere.

I get the same from my Silvia, although mostly used on dirt the g forces aren't as bad so its not so much of a problem. From what i was told its to do with the box not having enough baffling internally and a lot of the oil rushes to the back of the box and ends up being pushed out the shifter.

Really enjoyed reading this thread too, awesome work and impressive times.

Hey mate, will you be driving at NSW Time Attack?

Yep, sure will be.

Just waiting for the entries to open now.

I'm working on a new rear wing setup at the moment, not sure that it will make much difference at Wakefield though, all that is for Eastern Creek later in the year anyway. I have a theory that the 265 AD08R might work better than the 285 AD08R around Winton and Wakefield though.

So before we trek to Wakefield I'll do a Friday test day at Winton to get an idea of the impact of the new rear wing setup and gauge if there is a performance different between 265 and 285 AD08R at Winton that data should translate well to Wakefield. I have a 7kg spring to try in the rear for Winton/Wakefield, currently running a 10kg which works well at Phillip Island/Eastern Creek.

I have spoken to Forced Motorworx about my gearbox woes. It's a pretty cost effective fix to replace the synchro clips, so I'll get the box out over the next couple of weeks and get it down to Forced. Much cheaper than destroying another selector and ko'ing another gearbox, should have done this last year.

I'd like to change up the front splitter for something more sophisticated than the ply I'm currently running as well. But I haven't come up with a better design to get air to the oil cooler without altering the front bar design.

Awesome. Myself and a mate will be competing as well in clubsprint - though much slower then you lol, we are doing it for the experience more so. We will be in a silver 33 and 34.

Sweet! More RB's the better :)

I think both the Power Tune GTR's will be there in Open Class as well. Will be a great weekend for Skylines.

Yea I've heard they will be there, will make my times look even slower! Lol.

Will be good to meet and put a face to name :)

I'll be watching your splitter progress, I'm thinking about V2 myself.

How high does your current design sit off the ground and how are you going loading it onto trailers?

The current design is removable, so we take it on and off each time.

I want to keep it that way as well, just makes it so much easier.

On the k-frame we have bolted some 25mm tube, on the splitter there is 20mm bar that slots in.

There is some 20mm tube at the front of the spliter and on the sides.

It's quite low to the ground, unsure of height.

Yea I've heard they will be there, will make my times look even slower! Lol.

I'm talking Tony with Little Red into coming as well. So there will be a couple of Vic 33's invading.

I might have to redesign mine.

Yours must be lower if it clears the swaybar also.

I had issues with mine attaching to the cross member after upgrading to the bigger swaybar. Bar pushed the splitter down and bent brackets (stayed attached though).

Yeh it's below that. It's as high as I can get it using the k-frame mounting method.

I have a tilt trailer, but would need a fancy hydrolic thing if any kind of splitter was to be fixed mounted.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
