I found that Getrag 6 speeds are very quiet...

More so I didn't notice it being noisy...

its got the odd clunk here and there, mainly going from 2nd to 3rd. cold mornings are not really helping can be a bitch to get 2nd sometimes. but then im not used to these gearboxes. the manuals ive driven were little cars and than my old r34 was auto. so in all seriousness i dont know anything and should stfu lol.

on another note its going in for a full service and suspension is getting changed also new caster arms fitted, should be even better after this.

it does that if you have the wrong viscosity oil in the box, or if you're still running jap oil in your aus car. which is probably why it runs smoother when you drive it for a while cos it's had a chance to heat up and become more fluid.

same principle as engine oil... thinner oils for turbo cars etc so your turbo doesn't choke while the oil heats up slowly.

which is why people reckon redline's a miracle oil. it's just a different composition to the regular stuff.

Yeah that's one scenario.

Well the R34 GTR is not all that new these days... It be good to give it time to warm up, so when you drive the car, just take it easy for about 5 - 10 mins and gear changing should smoothen up.

Like what Shan said, do a gear box oil change and see how you go.

Getrag 6 speeds are tough gear boxes... (To a point...) And will take you a long way with the right maintenance and usage.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
