The real NISMO1

My mistake, I thought it was the same bloke you were talking about, same car different owner. I had better make sure before the job starts to find out exactly what I need for the box and diffs. Usually with oil changes I do not bother and just let them do what they want, but since I will have a lot of torque and not changing the box, I want whatever can help.

What a DH, get something that was working and go back to a product that you were having the trouble with ?????????

Been having a look at it, sounds like they have lubs for most applications By the way Mick, thanks for your input for my build,all sorted and most parts are in and just about ready to go ahead with the job in a couple of weeks I will post the results. Cheers

Thanks Mick, does it help absorb some of the stress.I have read that different lubs can help the box and diffs much better than others ??

4 years later,why not! I love it, great as a DD I do not like soft tops but I still think a Black R34 would look shit hot as a convertible, wonder how much it would cost to get a good job done and keep it tough? Keep your pants on Jace

Build starting soon and staying with the R34GTR box, what is the best lubricant for them. Is there one that stands out?

Did you find the problem?

I went with Just Cars, agreed value $45k, 1999 R34GTR with mods , $1900. I have 2 cars insured through them , 1 driver but no discounts available.. About to spend a heap on a build and I doubt if I can insure it for any more if I wanted to. I have a ***** star driving record and accident free, live in a safe area,car in a garage,no track work and an old bloke to boot that does not put a lot of Klms on a year, shat a young bloke that tracks must pay a fortune. Tried Shannons before with my 350GT, about $400 more. I will try some of the others Terry mentioned at renewal.

Well Paul I have made it to page 20/ 6 Months in and panic is starting to set in thinking about getting my build done,haha

Thanks Mick, been having a look, lots going on in there, I think I will croak before I finish reading it all,haha

you killed his car:(

Paul do you have your build specs and photos of your car anywhere on SAU, I would like to see what you have in it and a look at your car. Pete

Yeh , had a few blokes talking up their driving skills and I gave them a drive when I first got it home, they could not get it going to get into second, made me feel a bit better after my drive home from Sydney when I bought it,1 1/2 hours in peak hour traffic,F, it was less than a fun drive in your new car,haha The OS triple was an expensive exercise for you but I guess you were giving it heaps and loving it at the time My Quad is OK as a DD now with the changes I have made but from what the boys have said and what you have experienced I would be stupid not to have the clutch changed while I a having the build done. Trouble is now I have to wait to get it done

Hi Richard, you have the Super coppermix C twin? I found as my mods started to give the car some torque/response, the OS Giken Quad clutch became much easier to use as a DD and I have no doubt it will be even better after the stroker build BUT from what the blokes have said that have a similar set up, I would be nuts not to get a quality sprung twin clutch that will be more forgiving on the box. I will have to think of selling off the leftovers, the RB26 block, the motor mods and clutch have only 3500Klms, forged internals etc and I do not want to bring any of them back home with me. So once I know what is coming off I will go to the for sales thread.

You certainly know how to stop a thread Mick,haha

Going with the Super Coppermix Twin Plate Clutch, done enough looking my head is going to fall off and have had some great help from some of the blokes on this site I guess I am going to be that NUT and loving it.

Broken boxes being a big problem and magnified when using 3 and 4 plate clutches,so I will ditch the Quad and going for a Twin, but what Twin to use on a torquey R34GTR. There are a few that were recommended to me..Coppermix C Spec twin seems to be on the top of the list. What about carbon types?

I think most would start with power, more mods= more power and then find they will need to beef other parts up to handle the new power. Does it ever stop

I think if I was going to do either I would have to drive them but the sequential sounds , well interesting and I would love to try it, maybe not buy it,haha

Hi Paul, sent off for some info, dog gears, sequential gears they would be like ridding a bike again and that is OK but I guess they are crappy for DD use. Saw a Video with a bloke in a parking lot and not having fun at parking , so I guess they can be a pain. Just said to Joey that I might just get the build done with what I have and see what happens or give it a miss On my laptop now so I cannot PM you. Pete

Hi Peter Had a look at the PPG set and have asked for more info and a price as there was no price on the 6 speed, let you know what I get back Pete

I think I should just get the main work done drive the car the best I can and if/when it goes pop fix it instead of worrying about , when and if

Yeh, a bit of TLC must help but hard to do all the time, might have a look into PPG as I think the Hollinger is about $20k Sometime crap happens when you are not even trying, a bit of gravel spin and then bite hard can = $$s

Why call it a Maxima, if anything a fat 350Z but it has SKYLINE stamped into the back of it, so I will go with the name on the back What "02 Skyline"is yours? Daughter lost the spare keys to my R34GTR and cannot get a new one in Forster, anyone doing them in Newie ??
