I am new the forums and my journey isn't because I have a skyline but rather I want to use the drive system. I have a new anniversary 350Z that is JUN stroked (3.8) with Cosworth Heads, light flywheel, APS TT extreme system (only 12 psi at this stage), Tein Suspension and RP Racing Big Brakes 6/4's. Quaife diff with a 3.3 F/D and big axles. It is a widebody with Strosek Kit. There are a heap of internal machining bits and pieces that are still under development but its working extremely well with its closed deck. Its currently puting out a modest 396 rwkw with 600nm torque with a very wide and usable curve. We can easily add another 100kw to that, but thats for later. The project has been expensive but absolute fun. The car isn't a daily driver so I guess I can afford to take my time. The engine is coming out soon for some adjustments and more internal stuff, however I am looking at fitting the ATESSA drive system using a combination of M35X and R34 bits and pieces in an attempt to get power to the ground. It spontaneously breaks loose under WOT at about 4000 rpm - 7000 and although very predictable, its still wasting time and energy. It is an absolute hoot to drive.

I am picking your collective brains. This has only been done by JUN in Japan and the job was for track work and it looks butchered but effective. They cut the front off an r33 box and welded a VQ bellhousing to it.... ruf ruf. The only other one has been done near New York and its an auto with small power, but its a straight bolt on job using the M35X running gear. They only use auto transmissions. I want to get this right and so far it seems the most suitable box is the R34. Is it a strong box? Are there after market gears available? I have no obejction to buying new if I can get one, or rebuilding one to suit. What price should I be looking at?SWAMP me with information please so that I can get on a fast learning curve and get this project up and spanking the new GTR's......when they arrive.

you might be better served by asking your question in the "drivetrain and transmission" section of the forum :D

feel free to introduce yourself and post some pics of your beast in this thread though.

The R34 GTR gearbox is a getrag box, lots of companies in japan make aftermarket gearsets, etc for them. some companies like HKS and OS Giken make complete gearbox replacements which are sequential etc.

Enjoy your stay, hope you find the answers you're looking for.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.

      The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.

      You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate

      I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.

      I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
