Right So got my s3 r33 gtr gearbox to go into my 89 r32 gtr

Gotta do the pull to push conversion...so means draining the oil in the box to take the front plate off ,my understanding is the oil in the box currently is just a small amount of storage oil?

is that the case?

if so is it safe to refill the oil out of the box with the permanent stuff before attaching the transfer case  and getting it on the car or is there a good chance some will spill out the back

during this process? anyone done it this way?

Cheers!

And me sorry too, because I followed your lead with brain switched off and I also actually meant "do you really want to go pull clutch?" So my 1st post should look like:

Do you really want to go pull clutch?

Would it not be easier to just drill and tap for the push clutch on the R33 belhousing and use the bits you need from the R32?

Would it not be better to go all modern and concentric, if not wanting to retrofit push clutch?

 

Not really sure of the order you are thinking, but you need front plate with chosen clutch pivot and xfer case on before you fit it in the car.

Yes you can fill the gearbox and transfer case before you install it, and no you won't lose any (or much) oil if you do it that way

If swapping pull to push, remember the Threebond not threadlocker on the input shaft front cover bottom 3 bolts when refitting, or else it will leak.

whats the difference?  is this the stuff?

You can use either of the above but preferred is 1207C - the red / brown stuff as it is anti sag, cures faster, has higher temp rating and a superior oil resistance to the ones mentioned. Same stuff used on an RB26 sump.

Never used that CRC one but "appears" to be the 1207C equivalent. Threebond is actually what Nissan sells as their factory RTV from Japan (sourced from Australia).

Some people still use the 1215 grey as it cures slower on sumps, which gives more time when stuffing around fitting it - but it is definitely not as high temp or as oil resistant.

Look harder, it's there. 15 - 20Nm something like that. Seriously though just use a 3/8 drive and tighten it moderately. The sealant on those lower bolts are definitely more important than the exact torque settings.

Transfer case to box torque settings yes, but below was referring to gearbox input shaft front cover

Btw Anyone know what the torque settings are for these cant find anything in the workshop manual...

I'm sure Duncan will have that page handy for exact torque 👍

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
