Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

Hard to say how strong the getrags are exactly, there is too much talk and not enough actual information. The way you drive you probably wouldn't have any problems.

I've only heard of two that failed. One was in a RIPS drag car that broke the gearbox housing with slicks during a launch. The other was a lubrication failure of 6th gear during a top speed run, most likely due to centrifugal forces throwing oil away.

Argh.

See the 34 conversion isn't a cheap one either. Shafts, flywheels, the box itself. I really don't know what way to go.

Gav in WA has busted two OS sets. Maybe they're not that strong after all?

A Synchro, straight cut 1-4 with a helical 5th would be perfect.

Yea there is a line I guess but if your fronting up 10k for a dog box what's a extra 5k for a sq os box

The coin aside, I just don't want a sequential. I think it would be a dead set pain in the ass driving around.

I priced up a dog box last month that would handle 1000HP+ closer to 15K ready to go.

The OS Giken Seq. looks great in comparison.

Holinger...a few too many breakages compared to the $ outlay.

Hard luck, Paul. Once the reason for the breakage is confirmed, might be best to remedy it if you are happy with the OS box

15K? Holy fark.

I

Gear set alone is near 10k... Add a billet sandwich plate, upgraded input shaft... Assembly.

That's for the biggest though, helical are less

Just get straight cut with ignition cut shifter... Won't wear the clutch out...

Haha

What's yours?

$$

Why are you selling it?

Everything.

PPG 1-5 straight cut dog

Billet selectors

big input shaft

Sandwich plate

2nd and 3rd main and cluster gears have only done one pass.

Planning on going sequential, because race car.

Pm me if you're interested.

Maybe the oil cooler fitted to the Aust delivered r32gtr ain't such a bad thing after all :)

Paul, buy a bunch of stock gearboxes and throw them out as u break them. Per my calc's, at 1k per item can u break say 10 of them? Light hearted humour...it's the worst when something lets go, we have all been there

I know man. ESP when it's a part that "shouldn't" have busted :(. Grr.

Was speaking to Gav yesterday, he put it in a funny way. He calls it "the gap". OS's don't seem to last, the next option is an expensive one.

I'll buy the boxes and as they die, you install them for me? ;)

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
