Hello Thought I’d take time share with you my GTR. I’ve been a member on SAU since the early days – April 2002. Started on here as a young guy in my early 20’s – just sold my VP HSV and was lookin

Thanks Ben

As far as a Quaife sequential - that's what I had previously - never again.

Is that because of parts support from SVS or because the box wasn't up to it ? You had a QBE33G, the 750hp rated one from memory right ? The current QBE91G sequential is a completely different beast (released in 2017) and I am yet to hear of a failure - has much higher torque load rating and seems like they actually have it right this time.

I used to deal with then a lot with the Trust / Quaife H dog box and found their parts support pretty decent. 

Anyway best outcome is really to sort your Albins issues out directly with them.

Have had nothing but good experiences with Samsonas and have yet to break it.

That and after seeing how loud and clunky the Albins are comparatively I wouldn't touch it anyway.

Man that sucks.  you've got all the nice fruit and to be held up bolting it all together because of a few little componenets  must be bloody annoying!

Sell the gearbox and buy a pool for the kids?

lol - already got the pool mate ;)

Its D day.......   consumed with this..... Pass the albins off now - and slide over to Samsonas.... or stay with Albins.....

Thanks for the recommendation Brett.......  for me the big thing is how easy Jason is to deal with - and how quick he responds / communicates with me....  that gives me confidence in the event of any issues.......

My 2c, stick with the Albins, stay on top of your supplier and roast them for the delay, but wait it out. I know a few boys now running the Albins and all are very happy with them. Think of it like this, it would be a GTR if it didn’t give you stress!

Yes - The current shifter PRP are selling for the Albins boxes - "Billet Sequential Shifter Unit" - is what I had to wait for.

The package was sold to me as a bolt in option - no mods to tunnel required / no mod to tail shaft etc.

The box itself fits amazing - mechanic said fitment was spot on - just like factory.  Uses stock shafts and standard cross member to - no need to purchase different cross member. But the shifter initially supplied did not work with standard tunnel - it would need to be modded - which I was not willing to do.  So that's where the drama started. Back and forth for 9 months / 3 or 4 versions - and finally we have a shifter that fits without tunnel mod.

Special smaller / bent fittings are also needed to make the gearbox oil lines fit with no issue/no mods to tunnel.

The actual box - is fantastic.  Extremely happy.  Ill post a vid of the sound !

I really like the shifter as it doesn't have the bulky base like the Samsonas.  I am having the factory gear boot re-done in Alcantara with the opening just slightly larger to accommodate the shifter.  Once fitted - will look stockish at the base with just the shifter giving away any clues of shenanigans!

I will post some better pics soon - I have car for run in and it will be going back for a finish up / check soon (including new coils).  I'm still waiting on a few finishing cosmetic items.

I must say a big thank you to Benny who is a big advocate for the EFR turbo - the 8474 with the 2.7L is a response monster.

Power everywhere - every gear - instant power.  Its amazing.  Car will be re-dynod when it goes back with new coils and I will post results after that.  As a comparison to my T76 (502kw at wheels) - this kills it.it would be making more than 500kw with response and power everywhere.  Extremely happy.  They not as pretty as the Precision - but fark me they are amazing!

Awesome build, and the 8474 is an excellent turbo - a made recently made 620kw @ hubs on his 2JZ with an insane power curve.  If you aren't shy with it then you're going to completely slap the old T76 setup everywhere :)

Always concerns me seeing Bosch 2000s, especially on builds like this.  Hope you don't have any issues - look forward to the final results!

Also are you still running the factory CAS or has that been modified to just only return a home signal?

If that's OEM I would swap it out for a NZ Wiring cam trigger kit, 24 -1 setup but you won't have triggering errors like the OEM optical wheel 

Also brakes wise, look at 355mm 370Z calipers using Z1 Motorsport adaptors. Should be plenty for your car and track work when paired with decent pads.

Yes I believe I am.  CAS and coils will be done when I return the car shortly.  Not sure yet as to what option I will use for each as yet.  Very keen to get it done and push the tune more.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
