Thanks Ben

As far as a Quaife sequential - that's what I had previously - never again.

Is that because of parts support from SVS or because the box wasn't up to it ? You had a QBE33G, the 750hp rated one from memory right ? The current QBE91G sequential is a completely different beast (released in 2017) and I am yet to hear of a failure - has much higher torque load rating and seems like they actually have it right this time.

I used to deal with then a lot with the Trust / Quaife H dog box and found their parts support pretty decent. 

Anyway best outcome is really to sort your Albins issues out directly with them.

Have had nothing but good experiences with Samsonas and have yet to break it.

That and after seeing how loud and clunky the Albins are comparatively I wouldn't touch it anyway.

Man that sucks.  you've got all the nice fruit and to be held up bolting it all together because of a few little componenets  must be bloody annoying!

Sell the gearbox and buy a pool for the kids?

lol - already got the pool mate ;)

Its D day.......   consumed with this..... Pass the albins off now - and slide over to Samsonas.... or stay with Albins.....

Thanks for the recommendation Brett.......  for me the big thing is how easy Jason is to deal with - and how quick he responds / communicates with me....  that gives me confidence in the event of any issues.......

My 2c, stick with the Albins, stay on top of your supplier and roast them for the delay, but wait it out. I know a few boys now running the Albins and all are very happy with them. Think of it like this, it would be a GTR if it didn’t give you stress!

Yes - The current shifter PRP are selling for the Albins boxes - "Billet Sequential Shifter Unit" - is what I had to wait for.

The package was sold to me as a bolt in option - no mods to tunnel required / no mod to tail shaft etc.

The box itself fits amazing - mechanic said fitment was spot on - just like factory.  Uses stock shafts and standard cross member to - no need to purchase different cross member. But the shifter initially supplied did not work with standard tunnel - it would need to be modded - which I was not willing to do.  So that's where the drama started. Back and forth for 9 months / 3 or 4 versions - and finally we have a shifter that fits without tunnel mod.

Special smaller / bent fittings are also needed to make the gearbox oil lines fit with no issue/no mods to tunnel.

The actual box - is fantastic.  Extremely happy.  Ill post a vid of the sound !

I really like the shifter as it doesn't have the bulky base like the Samsonas.  I am having the factory gear boot re-done in Alcantara with the opening just slightly larger to accommodate the shifter.  Once fitted - will look stockish at the base with just the shifter giving away any clues of shenanigans!

I will post some better pics soon - I have car for run in and it will be going back for a finish up / check soon (including new coils).  I'm still waiting on a few finishing cosmetic items.

I must say a big thank you to Benny who is a big advocate for the EFR turbo - the 8474 with the 2.7L is a response monster.

Power everywhere - every gear - instant power.  Its amazing.  Car will be re-dynod when it goes back with new coils and I will post results after that.  As a comparison to my T76 (502kw at wheels) - this kills it.it would be making more than 500kw with response and power everywhere.  Extremely happy.  They not as pretty as the Precision - but fark me they are amazing!

Awesome build, and the 8474 is an excellent turbo - a made recently made 620kw @ hubs on his 2JZ with an insane power curve.  If you aren't shy with it then you're going to completely slap the old T76 setup everywhere :)

Always concerns me seeing Bosch 2000s, especially on builds like this.  Hope you don't have any issues - look forward to the final results!

Also are you still running the factory CAS or has that been modified to just only return a home signal?

If that's OEM I would swap it out for a NZ Wiring cam trigger kit, 24 -1 setup but you won't have triggering errors like the OEM optical wheel 

Also brakes wise, look at 355mm 370Z calipers using Z1 Motorsport adaptors. Should be plenty for your car and track work when paired with decent pads.

Yes I believe I am.  CAS and coils will be done when I return the car shortly.  Not sure yet as to what option I will use for each as yet.  Very keen to get it done and push the tune more.

    • Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!  
    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
