Can I use the standard six speed **** on the quickshift?

 

John, you will probably need another turbo downpipe, classic downpipes do not clear 6 speed gearboxes, also turbo may interfere considerably more on the 6 speed.

classic decat pipe should clear though, Skassa?

Paul

 

you dont need a transmission lift.. I did it laying on my back with a trolley jack.. but not a girls jack.. a real one.

 

Paul, all I know is that the new age STi aftermarket downpipes have a bigger bend in them to clear the wide 6 speed.

Conrad

 

but not a girls jack.. a real one

real jack won't fit under car, 800mm lift but is 1250mm long and about 500mm wide with about 4 foot of handle

 

Seems like an ideal time to rotate the turbo JB and give it a decent air feed ?

 

Just do It!

 

The downpipe fits no problem at all,

There is no problems mounting the 6speed,all things bolt right up as OE.


Skassa

 

GC8 Janspeed downpipe fits straight onto the cars I've been involved in and I would expect the other makes to do the same except maybe twin dumps.

What oil to use on the six speed thinking re the Suretrac diff and oil cooler (Redline stuff doesn't like fine filters apparently).

 

John,

I have Redline Heavy Shock in mine at it is fine (well, as far as I can tell!). It certainly feels a lot better than the OE oil which I used for a couple of thousand miles to start with.

Matt

 

On mine i use the regular Castrol syntrax,but i have some syncro trooble ,when the gearbox is really hot!!

JB,can you take a pic of ,what the oilcooler on the gearbox look like?

Skassa

 

John, Royal Purple gets some excellent endorsements on the GTR Register, may be worth a look?.

 

JB, where did you get the 6 speed from ???

Conrad

 

It was a one off, if you want one email me and I'll give you some possibilities.

 

was going to fit linkage today but caught the air con pump with my elbow and it just fell off , so did the pipework and air con radiator.

car now approx 35kg lighter so should balance out to similar,once the 6 speed goes in

 

I'll punch you, it won't hurt, but I'll do it anyway

 

 

LOL..

John.. depends where you hit him..

David

 

Indeed, women have no idea what they do when they go for nads...

Paul

 

how many punches for the electric windows,central locking and sound deadening too

anyone think of anything else I could rip out?, amp and big speakers out already.

 

Foglamps, rear seats and spare wheel/jack Harvey alswo mentioned there being a couple of kgs of sound deadening under the backbox's heatshield - yet to investigate on mine.

How easy was the a/c removal? How do you safely de-gas the damned thing? Getting mine done along with front end repairs next week (new a/c cooler...that wont be fitted ).

Richard

 

T-UK,

How about replacing the seats with egg trays? Should still be comfy enough.

 

I don't think all these weight saving measures are worth it for a daily driver I'd rather flog the car.

 

I agree with John. I would have even kept the AC.

Paul

 

I agree with john, I'd rather sell the car.. stuff the aircon..

I want a car that I dont even know what the engine looks like... top of my List is the new M3 and also cough.. std ish Evo 6



Nothing wrong with my car just.. its a bit like a tampon to coin a phrase.

 

Depends how many track events you plan on doing too Mine's still a daily driver....but I am looking for a lighter platform to bolt everything to!

Richard

 

in that case paul you can help me keep my aircon.

its gonna take a bit of work to sort but I don't want to be without it.

 

air-con still intact, just winding him up since I have his car at my mercy

did get a rather worried call, this afternoon about it though

tranny jack did not arrive today so looks like monday. could do battle but hoping that we can get some verification about the clutches clamping force first. should have just sent it down to get tested ourselves
