Hi Guys been on this website for a while and has been a great help! Having a fitment issue with a car of my own I was hoping someone could shed some light on. Car is RB25 NEO Auto, pedals, master cylinder etc all fitted and looking good, have a R33 gearbox (we bought secondhand so unknown if anything has been changed with it) auto stuff has been all removed, new spigot fitted to crank, new driftworks lightened flywheel for RB series, (apparently all the same), new ACT paddle clutch for R33, new fork and release bearing and slave cylinder. But with all parts fitted the gearbox will not go flush with the engine, if pulled slightly tight with bolts the gearbox input shaft won't spin. Searched many forms etc and all parts we have are correct as far as I'm aware. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hey guys sorry only seeing this now been hectic at work, yeah proper clutch alignment tool has been used, and we have 2 skyline spacer plates as we thought we thought that was the issue but no better. Really at a loss with this now lol have tried a shorter pivot ball for the release bearing as we thought it was hitting the pressure plate to early and not allowing gearbox to go flush but again no joy.

You probably knew this but just in case:

Did you remove the considerably larger spigot that supports the turbine from the crank first? If not, I would not be surprised if that would give you headaches.

 

This guy, circled very poorly in the pic needs to go

And the crank should look like this afterwards.

Hey tsuokun, thanks for the reply, yeah we had removed that collar/spigot from the centre of the crank was one of the first things we done, was a pain in the ass to remove but yeah it's gone but still no joy? May be a silly question but is there different depths of clutch plate or anything etc? Can't imagine so but it seems that the gearbox input shaft plate with the sleeve for the release bearing to slide on seems to hit the friction plate of the clutch not allowing it to go flush? From what we can kinda of see with marks and a paint pen anyway, but again no real way of seeing what is stopping when the gearbox is almost on. Thanks

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
