hey guys i just converted my RB30E to a manual, and put about 1.8 litres of gearbox oil in. The gearbox makes all sorts of noises and it didnt in its previous car. Could it be due to lack of gbox oil?

And if it is, and i top it up, do you think that since ive been running it like this the synchros are stuffed?

And also, after my conversion i noticed my gear ratios are buggered, at 100kmph its revving at about 3.2!

My speedo is also very wrong.. could this be due to different diff ratios? as im using the auto diff?

Cheers for any help eh

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.

      Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.

      Quick Lifts? Anybody got one?

      I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol.

      Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
