So just got my R34 GTR after compliancing etc, and it sounds like it needs a new input shaft bearing! Not confirmed of course, but this is my (unqualified) diagnosis after some internet searching. I want to get rid of the noise at idle/low rpm, so I'm going to get the box taken out and looked at, and hopefully fixed. I do understand that sometimes they can be noisy, but I think this noise is beyond normal. However, I figure if i'm paying for labour to take the box out and open it up, I might aswell look to rebuild it? Car has 170k kms on it, so probably needs it now, or soon, anyhow. The question I have though, is there, or has anyone done, an internal upgrade to the 6-speed box in the R34 GTR? I know that most people go to the sequential for a gearbox upgrade, but I like the H pattern, and wondered if anyone did a kit that uprated the internals of the getrag 6 speed? Cheers

Car was purchased through J-spec. Did a bit of searching around, but they gave (at least what seemed to me) the most thorough feedback to my questioning. Experience with them has been good so far, car is still in Japan so I'll let you know how the rest goes.

Hey all, long time lurker of these forums, but having finally pulled the trigger on buying a skyline, thought I should join and get more involved. Bought a 1999 GT-R V-spec at auction in japan, through an agent. Car is still in japan, just waiting to get it shipped to Perth. Needs some compliancing, most notably a new steering wheel. Also needs a bit of work, a bit of surface rust on the bottom, loose front left fender, but overall decent enough condition to drive for a while before I start refreshing a few things. Looking forward to picking the brains trust here!
