Hey guys just a quick one, I have been using Castrol Tranzmax Z Fluid in the gearbox, normally just go to peps and just order it but this time they said that they need the gearbox number to order it?? They said something about having to confirm the gearbox number with nissan 1st due to a number of stolen boxes. Can anyone shed some light on this please.

That's the biggest load of crap I've heard.

Would have told them to just sell it to me, or I'm going to walk and buy else where from now on.

They are an auto shop, not the police.

Actually, wasn't there a case of some gearboxes going missing from nissan a while ago? Or am imagining this?

the story you were told makes absolutely no sense. maybe report it to the store manager

transmax Z is not a Nissan fluid, it is a fluid that can be used in nissans or other suitable vehicles

Remember mate, it is your money you are spending, so spend it wisely. If something doesn't feel right, or you have doubts, walk away. There are other places where you can get the same thing. A business exists to make money, why should you give them your money when they are stuffing you around?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
