Hi guys, iv got a brand new series 3 box installed not long ago. It's been bedded in properly and hasn't been mistreated at all. Just street driving, did a few launches in it but that's it. Car is making 360rwkw atm.

Now just today iv noticed 1st gear on de acceleration sounds like a straight cut gear. It's not too loud at all but has bit of a whine to it. This occurs on very low speeds like 30kmh or so de accelerating and when clutch is depressed still whines a little. Pull it out off 1st while still rolling and the noise is gone. All other gears are perfect and shifts perfectly too.

I haven't noticed this before, maybe it was always like this and normal maybe not. Is this something normal or has something gone wrong??

Thanks in advance

I don't think it's the diff, otherwise it'd do it in other gears too. Iv read this exact whine is normal on Evo's and iv seen it on YouTube it's identical to mine. They all reckon it's normal and develops this noise after a few launches.

Only thing is I can't remember if it was always here and I just didn't notice it

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      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.....
