Hi All,

Got a r33 gtst series 1,

Tailshaft:

Pulled off tailshaft off to uas to get cromemoly replacement for $490 If someone knows of cheaper place with same quality would be appreciated as ive rang around and no-one even will match it (maybe just ringing wrong places lol!)

lightened flywheel:

Uas cromemoly $490 4.9kg again similar pricing from others have looked at billet items but from reading forums cromemoly seams more popular for street use and the power output im after.

Gearbox:

Rang the place in greenacre (forgot name of place) supposibly do good work $1500 to clean and repair whats needed and replace my worn brass button with a cushioned brass button, $75/syncro thats stuffed doubt any are but car has done 130,000klms so maybe 2nd and 3rd gone, as i drive trucks on occasion using brass button doesnt bother me 2 much as last 2 cars have had them aswell!

My question again is clutch advise/ gearbox specialist that is cheaper and still do good work!

Last but not least Diff Centre:

Looked for ages on this have decided on 1.5way lsd, nismo seems best, but kaaz is only $1050 delivered and is tempting!

As with the diff i have a mate who does em and he cant beat this price but is installing for a slab lol.

My mate seems to think that for roughly 300rwkws standard should surfice but is on the breakable side?

As i have a 300zx the standard diff handles the 317rwkws i have in that but 300zx has stronger diff/shafts/hubs, plus its auto lol!

Im not going to waste my time changes hubs shafts so fourth plus im almost certain the skyline with standard/new diff should handle what im after!

Again any advise is great!!

As im only expecting the car not to exceed 700nm of torque/rough estimate for 300rwkws similar to my 300zx, should i waste the money on a new diff centre at all or get some new (shims 0.8mm not sure if this is the correct word) and be done with the diff!?!

As the tailshaft and gearbox and the flywheel i most definitly want them regardless so if everyone that respondes can summarise it like the following:

Gearbox Place To Remove/Repair/Re-Install/Price You Personally Paid:

Clutch Purchased From/Type/Price:

Flywheel Purchased From/Type/Price:

Tailshaft Purchased From/Type/Price:

I have read over all forums/threads no-one seems to summarise this especially when these are the most replaced parts maybe even make a sticky in a summarised form, if there is and im just not searching properly please provide me the link also please keep chit chat to minimum pm me if you want to do that, or if you really want to call me all is appreciated!!

Cheers all

Ok, a little hard to understand exactly but I'll give it a go.

Gearbox - what's broken? Why are you pulling it out if not just to replace clutch?

Clutch and flyerwheel related - some clutches come with a flywheel. I personally have a GTR clutch rebuilt by Jim Berry. It cost about a grand. I used a GTR flywheel. I give up on knowing how much power I have but I have a 4 door R34 and have run 111mph at the strip. This car is definitely heavier than R33's. Maybe 80-100kg. I did a drag day on sunday and did 37 runs over the day. The clutch is still fine. This is a single plate and quite bitey but can be slipped.

That UAS flywheel seems like a good deal to me.

Drive shaft - why? For weight?

Diff - what are you using the car for? I smashed the CV's on one side last time out at the drags with whatever power I have. (250rwkw give or take) GTR drive shafts can be used but need hubs and diff as well. For track a 1.5way centre would be the way to go. If dragging with decent tyres then you will probably break rear CV's.

Standard diff will be open wheeling after not too long at all. It wont smash, just open wheel and give you the shits cos you wont be able to get the power down.

yeah. just get the power. f**k doing all that. waste of money if nothings broken. and as far as im aware a r200 will take 1000hp no worries. and if its a tt z its got a r220. wich is bigger. so it wont break

look, the shaft they re-use your joints. so if there f**ked bad luck. out of all that a lsd is about all id do.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      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.
