Hi Guys, What should the oil pressure be?

There are no oil leaks and its not blowing any smoke. What could the likely causes be? I have driven it hard since the conversion.

I just checked the oil level. It was half. I have done only 300 k\'s since the conversion

Hi Guys, I have a just completed a GDB conversion in to my GC8. Car has been running fine until today. I used the car for a about 30 mins, came back home, car was parked for about 1 hour. When i went start it up again, the oil pressure light was on. I revved it to about 2000 rpm and the light went out. I drove the car for about 5 mins, let it park for 10 and then started it back up and the light was on. Engine temp was about 70 deg. I revved it up and the light went away. It doesn come on while driving. Could the oil pump be on its way? Thanks.

Hi guys. Thanks for all your help. I have finally got it running now. Had a few issues but its all sorted now. Just a question, i am only getting 0.5 bar of boost on full throttle. Is this normal? Is there any tuner in Auckland who does road tunes? Thanks.

Hi SP00N, Thanks for your reply. The engine wiring is pretty much plug and play. I am just concerned about the interior harness which needs to merged to the ecu because i cant really find anything concrete on the net.

Got the stubs yesterday so the gearbox is all sorted. Now just need to sort out the wiring. Does anyone have the cyl head remove/refit torque specs?

Hi Guys, Is there anyone in NZ who can do the wiring merge if i send both the looms? Thanks

Thanks Guys. Looks like the C clip is inside the diff. I have asked my supplier to send me the GDB front shafts. Will get it on monday. Let you know how i go.

Hi Ninja 8) I have removed the pin and taken the cv shaft off but i would like to remove the splined shaft from the gearbox so i can use that on the 6 speed gearbox. The splined shaft (external) is pressed/locked onto the front diff and the front cv shaft inner joint (Internal) just slides onto this and then we use the locating pin. Thanks.

Thanks for that SP00N I am having some issues with the front cv shaft inners. The V3 gearbox has a outer splined shaft and the GDB box has an inner spline. How do i remove the shaft from the V3 Gearbox.

Thanks for the replies guys. i just received all the parts today and diff has been fitted. Will fit the gearbox and centre shaft tomorrow. Speedo cable will fit straight into the 6 speed box so no issues there. Just a question regarding the power steering pump, do i have to use the GC8 pump?

Wish i could. Im in Fiji and there are no dynos here. i\'ve seen a wiring kit on the net for the avcs. Will see how i go. Start with the mechanical stuff first. Sorry, it is a GDB Jap import. Im getting the complete wiring, ecu, fpc, etc. Most of the stuff is coming in on monday. Will post some pics up. Thanks guys

Thanks for the update guys. My major concerns are the AVCS, immobiliser and speedo. How did you get your speedo to work and how did you remove the immobiliser function. im getting my parts from a 01 Jap Import GDA

Hi Guys, I am getting a V7 Engine/Gearbox package for my GC8 Type R (v3). Just wanted to know who has done this conversion on here. It is a DIY project so i might need some help mostly with the wiring. Thanks.
