Hey guys i have a widebody r32 with 285's all round with 25ml spacers on back and a r34 neo engine with the20160826_095314.thumb.jpeg.b2a0d0f5a59c920160826_095314.thumb.jpeg.b2a0d0f5a59c920160826_095314.thumb.jpeg.b2a0d0f5a59c9 33 box and twin plate clutch making 340 on 20psi, and my boxes last maybe 100kms and start whining and another 100kms and 3rd gear has gone 3 times, ive done 6 axles and a half shaft in just under 5000k's and a centre bearing and clutch had to be sent away to be done because it started slipping.... my question is can any body help as to why im doing it?? i didnt clutch kick thor this box or drop it in 2nd or 3rd just fed it on and after 100k,s its whining already, it had a 2way cussco in it and i swapped it for a locked diff and need some ideas on what to check e.g gearbox and diff aligned right, measurements, heights, crossmember, etc etc ive read maybe its the clutch is to harsh. i think its a extreme brand i know its a twin plate, and is there anyone in vic i can take it to that can help me??? My mates box in a 33 lasted over a year with 530rwkw smashing it and it still hasnt blown, im on 3rd box and am its about to blow, im over it and need help pls guys,

Listen, if your in Melbourne, the best skyline performance centre is Racepace performance in Bayswater, trust me take your car there and they will put a smile to your face, they specialise in gtr's, I take my car there, they will get to the bottom of your problem[emoji106]

Twin plate clutches aren't made to be slipped, it kills them quick

Locked diff puts more strain on gearbox and axles

Check that everything is lining up perfectly straight when it is installed

90% of the time in this situation, it is the driving style influencing it

I thought it was 2 but i only fed it on this box and it felt like The best box so far,i used to clutch it up 3rd at 100 so i changed driving style fast lol, and my car sounds supercharged after not dropping it once, it whines that much after 100kms in my car and no track days either. i think its the rubber on crossmember dont hold box up straight or right height, somethings up i just dont know what measurements to check from where....

340kws and you're doing clutch kicks with 285 wide tyres? what kind of locked diff?

what did you do with all the old boxes you've replaced? did you crack any of them open to see if there was anything visibly wrong with them? what damage was on the axels and half shafts?

 

It's also possible the box you most recently put in has tired bearings.

But yeah consistently snapping axles comes from too much pressure - this is caused by A. Too much power / traction B. Misaligned parts or C. Driving the vehicle like you stole it.

I did have the slicks on and it was hooking up second like a boss but its consistently broke shit over 18 months and i didnt have a licence for 12 of it lol and only done 2 track days, sprint races not drifting, it has to be some alignmentissue but i dont know what to check

Slicks and a lock diff will do that...

It's all about the weakest link in the chain

In most cars with an open diff, this is the traction of a single wheel, which breaks before anything else (wheelspin), but means the drivetrain has less stress on it because there is less resistance to the rotational force at the other end (gripping the road). With an LSD or locked diff, you have effectively multiplied the resistance by two.

If you then strengthen the tyres with more grip, you shift more pressure onto other components in the drivetrain, such as the clutch. If the clutch slips, this means there is a limit to how much pressure is exerted on the axles or gearbox and the clutch is giving way first. Upgrade the clutch and this weakness disappears; suddenly the gearbox and axles have more pressure exerted on them...if the pressure is too great, one of these will snap.

Side note: Clutches are generally cheaper to replace than gearboxes, hence I often say there is such a thing as too heavy a clutch.

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
