I might take a photo later. The knob does screw off, but the shaft is way bigger than the hole in the top of the rubber boot. The shifter comes out of the gearbox by removing a sirclip.

Geoff - If I got a boot that would side over the shaft, the oil would still be able to get out the top. Unless I cable tied it to the shaft. (But that's just dodgey, yes, I know thats what you would do.)

Duncan - I think this wed might be an SAU meet. Snowman? correct me please?

Chris, it should still be kept in if sealed to the outer shaft and around the top of the box. I know mine is split as well so will need to come up with a fix when I go to redline lightweight also. Cable ties are your friend man :D

Roy, a quick rings and bearings rebuild and sell the leftovers might be in order but ride them a bit for the replacement engine. 2 days to swap engines remember.

Duncan, Weds night at the whitehorse :D

Guys - this Wed is a NDSOC meet. The next SAU meet isn't until 21st Sept (if you don't count the club launch on the 12th) Apparently the HSV Club don't put entires up on their websites until the very last minute - give their members the fist chance to sign up. However, I did notice in the NDSOC magazine that it said Karyn has entry forms so we can get them tomorrow night at the meeting.

Denham - I can sign your CAMS L2S form anytime - so you can either come to the club launch on the 12th and I'll have forms there or else I can even do it on the day.

Snowman, in your travels before tomorrow night, will you have a chance to swing by ICE? I think i have left the keys to the PI unit in my car and i need to post them back. If you can ill ring the guys and see if they are in the car, (blue rope and two keys)

Whats the new beast? More the merrier. The RB20 lives so we will get to test my Sandown theory!?!?!?!?!

Spoke to mechanics today and it looks like my engine woes are sorted, and i wont be needing to spend a fortune on a new engine so can afford to get them to bolt it in.

Only it looks like friends are coming down from Sydney on the 17th, so may only be able to make one of the PI days, perhaps neither. Plus i dont want to rush everything like i did last time... perhaps i should be patient and wait til October and Sandown.

Thanks for the info on the boot Emre. Went to Nissan FTG and got it ordered same day pickup. $18.20 and it slides over the shaft quite easily with just a little lube. Turns out I lost 0.5 of a litre of redline lightweight fluro-blue gold.

I might come down for a bit tomorrow night. Not going to SYD now till Thu.

Oh and .....ah... Happy Birthday AdzMax.....

It's an ex-Signal RH9 GTR from Japan, a total animal.

It needs a bit of sorting out but the owner is keen on a circuit setup.

Good luck with the RB20 dude, are you just swapping motors...?

You are welcomed dude. Funnily enough, that's where I bought mine from 3 years ago and from memory, it was exactly the same price.

No more stench of hot gear oil in the cabin.:D

Yeh another std RB20 is going in...

Is it a 15yr import? Sounds way cool but i take it will be a strict track car or the rego thing of modded cars is sorted by takin git back to std?

God damn - another Troy! And another R34 GTR V Spec! And a crazy one at that!

We are going to have a fair presence at some track days coming up.

And I'm going to have to pull our finger out - or else I'm going to need some more boost! LOL. Emre will have semi's, Troy (ylwgtr2) already has them, RedR32's car is nuts (Ross), and Gerald will have his 32 in action by next year! It could be worse though - I could be running an RB20! :rofl:

Alot of Ross's stuff is coming off. Apparently a T88 isn't that good around Winton. :D But the base foundation of the car is awesome. But it remains to be seen if it can actually be driven by an accountant.

Is it a 15yr import?

Yeah... It is.

T88 to have Ben's magic touch, FCon makes way for a Motec etc.

Snowy,

You are holding your own pretty well so far mate, I doubt that will change with more powerful cars around you.

My aim is to keep up with you. If i can't, I will be playing at the back of the field on my own. :rofl:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
