Gearbox Whine R34 (33 Box) Auto To Manual

Hey guys!

I just recently did an auto to manual swap on my 98 NA R34 coupe. I used a gearbox from a turbo r33, with turbo r33 clutch and flywheel from a manual r34.

In every gear EXCEPT 4th, i have the whining noise (see video) which increases on acceleration and stops when the clutch is in. My mechanic friend who helped me do the conversion says the box (which i bought from him) was sitting in storage for 3 years and even after 2 weeks of driving it the oil still hasn't fully lubricated the box.

It's quite loud and ruining the driving experience for me lol, any suggestions on what I could try to solve the problem?

I'm going to repco to get some smoothshift additive later but i'm sceptical that it will make a difference.

Cheers guys!

What oil did you put in the box? Have you got a good seal between the gearbox and the inside of the car? Gearboxes do whine when there is no soundproofing.

Penrite 80w90, seal is average, has been suggested I dynamat it and ignore the noise lol

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.

      I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
