Drive Through R33 Manual Box

Hi, I've just put an R33 box onto the back of my RB30 (VL turbo) and have currently got just the yoke sitting in the back of the gear box (until I get my tailshaft built) to stop the oil from coming out, and with the car running and I pull the clutch out with the gearbox in neutral it actually spins.

Is this right/usual or is there something up?

So should there be any drive through the gearbox at all in neutral. My thinking was that there shouldtn be any what so ever. But I thought maybe there could be as long as the tailshaft is all connected up from box to diff (which would provide some form of resistance to keep it from spinning at all)

Need to know asap... Cheers

if you grab a hold of the yoke does it stop, or want to keep going. could be the syncro's spinning it but normally with a tail shaft on a connected to the diff it is enough resistance to hold it.

its not engaged in a gear its just that without a gear selected everything still spins inside the box and with the oil in it its sort of like a viscous coupling. Completely normal.

Oh ok, makes sense. So the tailshaft normally being connected is enough to keep it still?

One other thing while I got this thread.

Looking at the drivers side of the gearbox which plug is which. Is it the neutral switch on the left and the reverse lights switch on the right or the other way round?

easy way to test is to do a continuaty test with a multimeter, hook it up on the pins on the gearbox side of the plug and then put it in gear then back out, if it switches that you neutral switch

sorry mate cant help with the reverse switch but you could check it with a multimeter check resistance across two wires in and out of reverse i think the other switch is a neutral switch???

Even with tailshaft in if the car was jacked up and you started it in neutral you'd probably find that the rear wheels would begin to turn! far bit of friction in there huh!

      The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"

      Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.

      Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
