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.

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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
