I'll be defently at the drag strip!

I changed my G-box oil the other night. Thanks to ryan mind you.

I had bad crunching from 3rd to 4th. Anything after 3,500rpm it crunched. And likewise from 4th to 5th.

That was geniune ( Cant spell for shit ) subaru gbox oil in there with nulon addative. Worked for a bit. Survived a day on the dyno.

But it just grew worse. I brought some Redline Gearbox oil. Type: Lightweight shockproof. Aka, smurfs blood. Normally around $220 delivered for 3.8lts i got mine for $111.50 for 3.8ltrs.

www.performancelub.com Check it out peoples. Great oils and fast Delivery. 3 working days to NT to my door.

Anyway. I put it in, as soon as everything was warmed up. Flogging time!!! Every gear much more direct with no sign of crunching through 1st to 3rd... Now... test time... Gave it hell to top of 3rd and changed.... Guess what. No damn crunch! I'll be happy to prove it too people too! You could hear the crunch with original oil over my sterio... No shit. The oil has a much more direct feel to it and alot smoother! Bad thing is.. Theres alot of downsides. You have to make sure you can get every last drop of your old oil out. I let mine sit for the whole night and most of the day. She was empty! Other wise it mixes and turns to Jelly... No good. And... you cant go from redline back to another brand without flushing your box many times with cheap cheap oil. It mixes with the new oil and makes it bad. And can actually fail and destroy your box. But defently something for you boys to look at. Also... It says on the bottle 500,000k life span... If you drive a damn golf buggy. For most wrxs it's between 10-15ks max.. But thats awd and hard launching. All your boxes are stronger then mine so the effect's will be greater with the oil i'd imagine. And life span alot better. Check the threads here about REDLINE. Some hate it, some love it. Im a lover :P

Harold at that website is awsome. He just rose his price's tho. Only by 5-10$ tho. Im really happy about it.

Anyway. Enough Late night tele marketing. Now remember, if you buy 1, you get 1 absolutly free. And if you use your credit card. I'll throw a smack in the head free for not doing it sooner!

Good luck at the dyno

hey guys, good turnout at the drags lucky no big problems today.

im putting some of the videos from the day up on u tube if people want to check them out, i also have the movies from the dyno night if anyone want them i got them on disk.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
