used a shifter from this GTR for another car that needed it and then I was pulling out the sc player and a screw fell down the damn shifter.

Anyways is the best wa for me to get it out to just get it on the fork lift and shake it and hope it falls out or can I pull the box apart easly. Im not too fimilar to takeing these apart.

get it on the forklift and shake it? You mean put the car on a forklift?Jeez you canadians are very weird!

Never use a forklift on your skyline. The chassis rails are weak as butter and you'll bend them.

If you pull the box apart, you'll probably wreck the seals and have to replace them.

putting it on a forklift and shaking it sounds like a recipe for the skyline and the forklift ending up on their side on the ground. with bent chassis rails.

there is oil in the bottom of your gearbox, shaking it will do sweet FA the screw will just stick in the oil.

what I would consider doing, and remember I am pulling this out of my arse so I make no guarantees it won't make things worse.. is that the first thing you do assuming you have touched NOTHING since the screw fell down there.. is fish around in the gearbox with a magnetic screw grabber (a magnet on the end of a telescopic stick). see if you can grab it out the top.

failing that, i would jack the rear wheels up, hold the clutch in and have a friend spin the wheels gently one way and if they bind, then gently the other way. you want to try and help the screw fall down into the bottom of the box.

if you can spin it as much as you want in either direction, then drop the oil and hope it comes out. if it doesn't, then you might need to improvise a bent stick to probe around the bottom of the inside of the gearbox with your magnet and hopefully pick it up that way.

good luck to ya anyway, next time don't drop the screw :blush:

HAHA I cant believe you guys :P

The trans is out of the car. I ment tie a seat belt around the trans and just shake it upside down:P

But ya my ideas were pretty much the same as yours with the magnet and bent tool. I just wanted to know if the box could come apart easly but replacing seals would suck so I just keep fishing and hopefully I kets myself a nice screw.

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
