Hola

Hello everyone,

I've been around R31s for quite a few years, purchased my first R33 a couple of months back and love it. Already spent some coin on it, with much much more to come. Looking at making it a reliable 300kw street/track car.

It is a S2.

Currently has: GFB elec boost controller, GFB elec blow off valve, FMIC, 3" magnaflow exhaust, Extreme twin plate race series clutch, Tein coil overs, break upgrade

Planned: Larger turbo, plazmaman intake, upgrade ignition system, upgrade fuel system, aftermarket computer, E85, tune, upgrade suspension, eventually forged internals.

4th gear syncro is on its way out so ill throw a new gearbox in it next and then swap out the diff to a stronger LSD. should make for a reliable fun car. My target is 300rwkw.

Hey mate, welcome. Before you go changing gearbox, you may want to check how much oil is in there. Mine used to crunch into fourth at high revs and it turned out there was only 2.5 litres of oil in it when there should be 3.6 - 3.8 litres. I changed the oil and refilled with the right amount and the box has been beautiful since.  Worth a try before you go to the effort of changing boxes and obviously the cost of it too.

The mechanic that put the clutch in couldn't get the drain plug out of the box to change the oil, so there is a good chance it may be low, i might find a hoist, have a crack at the plug myself and throw some oil in there.

thanks

  • 2 weeks later...

Got it on the hoist, took about half a litre of oil, took it for a drive and 4th gear is still troublesome, it is only at speed that it has an issue which is a little confusing, I can't engage 5th to 4th, but I can if I go 5th, 3rd, 4th.

drop in Nulon Smooth shift addictive, usually helps with these shit boxes (literally)..

Mine grinds in 2nd at 7k rpm, but a workaround is to bash the limiter and slip it into gear... 3rd and 4th grinds too, work around just shift as hard as you can "reef" it into gear LOL... #traklife

Yours looks so much cleaner than my shit box :)

 

Does it dose good?

    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
