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

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?

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
