  1. lol, just finished primering my engine bay (thanks to my mate beej foor spraying it!)

    im curently in the process of moving the lights relay box to under the guard (accesible from the front air intake/vent, we were going to smooth all the spot weld bits out etc, but far, far to much effort and time for it, im just hiding what i can, using a greedy side inlet plenum to get rid of heaps of cooler piping, and just coding the rockers to the colour the cars going...

    once thats done, if it still looks shit, i dunno what to do lol.

  2. allrighty ive got my r33 rolling shell withpretty much everything.. except one thing..

    the gearbox,

    looking around for r33 manual gearboxes, and of course, people want STUPID AMOUNTS OF COIN for them (ie 2k)

    so ive beenn looking into other options, and am wondering what other people have done...

    heard 300zx boxes, are same internally as a r33 one, cost 1/4th the cost, and with a bellhousing kit, gearbox mount, and yokes changed, will fit, andd give years of life.. (few SR20 boys doing these in silvias atm) with the additional cost of the bellhousing adaptor etc, will only come a couple hundred $$ ahead... (good tho when i fark it tho, cheap to replace)

    another option, i heard this from some speed way boys... is the ford T5 manual tranny... these are neigh on indestructible, and apparently an aussie company makes a complete adaptor kit, for these boxes to mate up to RB30s... hence should bolt onto a rb25det nooo hassles... even better is i can get these boxes cheap as from the speedway ladies..

    anyways, rb20det box is outta the question, will mince it in 2 days, possibly VL turbo MX7 (?) box? however just as expensicve as fkn rb25 boxes.

    one other one is a R32 or R33 GTR gearbox, heard of people using these minus the transfer case, and using adaptor mounts or soemthing..

    anyways, post up ideas, what people have done... etc

    2k for a gearbox is fkn steep in my opinion...

  3. from my viewpoint, neithers better than the other at the end of the day,

    each has its good and bad points... a stock supra bottom end will (and ahs been proven to) put up with in excess of 800rwhp, without beign touched,

    however a r32/33/34 GTR would eat a supra through twisteies...

    end of the day all comes down to what it were to be used for,,,

    ive driven both, (supra and a 32/33) and if it came to having to chose between one and the other i couldnt do it lol.
