So your saying tht 09 ADM R35s can be launched consistantly one after another with no gearbox issues?

Personally I don't know as I have never done it consistantly. I did also say a "few" launch controls. I will only comment on something that I know about not what I have heard around the traps. Although I don't see people whinging on here that they have blown their ADM gearbox while using launch control or blown them at all.

I agree, you only hear about the horror stories with the USDM's, where their 2009 (MY08 build) cars blew loads of trannies (refer NAGTROC forum) - and most of these after a COBB or Ecutek tune + big mods. Dodson has them all covered with uprated parts anyways.

IMO, same applies to the USDM 2010 (MY09), 2011 (MY10) and 2012 (MY11). Most are getting upgraded trannies at the same time as big mods.

I can't say I've ever heard of any ADM's going KAPOOW. I'm still not modding mine just in case though :P

I found this which would refer to 2007 built GTR's

"Early vin JDM cars had a common fault with oil pump in the transmission failing causing the box to get no oil, hence failure"

Theres this, and the circlips in the tranny have also known to fail - in fact this remains a common problem in even the 2012's

It's quite simple really. If you price cars, boats, houses etc.. at what the market is wiling to pay, they sell. Smart people know this and conclude their business quickly thereby freeing up cash to move on to their next venture and minimising losses. Other people are just dreamers and end up losing more money as they leave their car over priced and unsold for months as it continues to depreciate before their very eyes!

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
