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!

input bearings can sound like that when they are on the way out. Doesn't happen in 4th because there is bugger all load on the input/mainshaft compared to other gears

      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.....
