Well, as i have posted in the transmission forum, i killed the stock gearbox, i went for a par 1-4 S/C syncro box.

This thread is a quick outline of what i got for the money and where i got to down the strip. Car is a low km R33 GT-R V-spec with a really big guy driving it!(Read fatty lol)

1: Par 1-4 S/C sync G/box. $5745

2: 600cc Nismo drop in injectors and nismo upgrade fuel pump (second hand albiet in good working order) $920

3: Vi-Pec Plug in ECU(the one that fits into the stock ecu box, internal 2.5 bar map) $1650

4: Tune (god this was hard to organise in a regional area) $475

5: Hi-Flowed standard Turbochargers( these were only 70k old so i figured rebuild to -5 specs) $1600

6: Adjustable cam gears $499

7: Random spares(ie. vac. hose, gaskets, general consumables) $300

Stockish run(up-pipes and 3.5" exhaust, K&N panel filter) stock boost ect. 12.58

Next up when the box arrives ill start adding power mods and the box and keep you all updated :(

Any suggestions ect please, keep it clean and constructive!! Im all ears, im an ex subaru nutcase so GT-R's are a new field to me!

be interested to know how they work out

Well, the turbo's are off, the box is out and on its way to the builder and my hands look like they have been through a god dam mincer, OHMAGAWD the turbo's are a bitch of a thing to get out, im dreading the installation process something fierce! Now, the Vi-Pec goes in! See u all in an hour or 2! :cool:

just a word of advice with the ### gear sets get that box in there as quick as you can and make shaw it is good i got one of there gear sets in my r33 gtr and it was far from good when i put it back in wouldnt hold gears had heaps of problems getting fixed as it was out of waranty after i got my car back on the road in the end i ended up taking it to another work shop and got it rebuilt to make it right cost me an extra 1000 on top to get right just be careful

Quick update guys. Nismo Fuel pump is in, Injectors are in, did new front brakes and rotors while i was at it (thanks QFM!) new TPS and im currently getting the exhaust manifolds port matched to the head and turbines, there pretty messy from stock. Now, do i do the dumps or are the 33 dumps good enough? Just that the turbo's are off and ill be fracked if i wanna do that again!

Cheers, Allan

Updates!!

Recieved the gearbox today!

Injectors in

Fuel pump in

Vi-Pec in

Cam gears in

Gearbox *shudder* waiting.

Now i have gone a little over budget here guys. After a good hard chat with a few people and forecasting the possibility of future modifications i have decided to buy a new set of -5's. I was told standard turbo's could be modded to -5 specs, but as its been pointed out, rear housings are different. They can be modded to make near similar power as a dash 5 but geez you would be flogging the batshit outta them. The Bill so far!

Gearbox: $5745

Vi-Pec: $1650

Pump and Injectors: $920

Turbochargers: $2450

100k Service kit: $420

TPS: $120

Gasket Kit: $240

Consumables: $300

HKS Dumps: $280

Total so far: $11705.00

Still to come: Tune up, AFM deletion pipes, Intercooler Hard Pipe Kit. It seems 10g just wasnt enough!! If only i didnt have to do a box!

So, at the end of the day, im hoping to get away with approx 13k to get where i want to go. One day ill figure out how to post god dam photos on the intrawebs and ill show you all something you have all seen before, a GTR in pieces!!

People to thank so far: Jim Berry, Andrew Sullivan aka Kudos Motorsports, Dori34, Ray Hall Turbocharging, PAR engineering, Just Jap Racing and my wife who now hates me, baaaaad.

PS> any ideas for AFM deletion pipes?? the cheap way, im pretty handy with steel :P

Cheers, Allan

    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
