QUOTE (S12 Drifter @ Yesterday, 7:51 AM) | My T-5 blew up, the bulk ring between the snycros and 4rd gear snapped in half, bulk ring between 3rd gear and snycros stripped clean also the gear selector for 3rd/4th gear completely shattered. 5th gear has chips on it on both the driven and drive gear, reverse is no longer there/ missing teeth.
over all it seems only usable parts are 1st gear, and the counter shaft.
output shaft moves literally 1-2 inches even has in and out play input does too. this transmission seemed a little noisey from the start though. along with the wrong fluid combo the first time and it was a ticking time bomb, had a feeling this was gonna happen just didnt know WHEN it would happen. I'll post pics in a bit.
current thoughts: what a pile of horse shit. I have no idea WHY or HOW this happened.
when i drained it it was all silver/brass coloration. |
I knew this was going to happen one day, and yet you blamed using the wrong oil. Owner negligence, much? @Texas: .... What the heck?

The best gear oil in the world for a specific application won't save you from what sounded from the beginning like a preexisting defect or design flaw in your transmission. That transmission wasn't really the best designed piece anyway. Nissan's transmissions usually aren't. Look at the Skyline ones of the same era. They're pretty jank too.

My not-so-humble opinion:
A VG30 will do 550whp, but you'll never be able to drive it on the streets, unless the car gods REALLY like you. The Z31 is a great platform, but she's a heavy girl. If I might be so bold to suggest.... shave off as much of the weight as you can. Get rid of all the useless factory junk (ie: stereo, a/c, sound deadening, etc...), go with a barebones interior (thin sheet aluminum to replace interior panels?), and bring her up to a more modest 350-400 whp. You still won't be 100% streetable, and may need wider tires... but at least you won't be forced to make the choice between doing involuntary burnouts or stalling.......... in reverse.

While weight loss is always a good thing, tho i think ditching the radio and going to "aluminum panels" is a bit extreme and not at all worth it lol
