Converting R32 Gts4 To Gtr Box

Just wondering if there are any difficulties in doing this job?

I have been having trouble with 4th gear for a while now and after reading over the RB20 Box thread beleive it to be the 4th gear syncro.

Now would anything need to be changed re: Push to Pull clutch? Diff's?

This is something i'd like to look at doin even if the box is still alive as i would like it to be strong but i don't have the option of going to a RB25 box even though the GTR box is very similar.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

As far as I am aware the two gearboxes are the same except for the input shaft, ie same strength... This is part of an email I recieved from daniel at fitzpatric speedworks:

If manual the gearbox will take it no probs they are basically the exact same as a gtr except the input shaft size and this isnt where the weakness is, but a gts4 box will be fine for 250rwkw as long as you respect it and dont flat change or violently drop the clutch etc

Hope this helps ;)

hnr32 (gts4) and previous-term bnr32 (gt-r) boxes are both push-types, from 1993 all bnr boxes are pull-type.

There is a difference in gear ratios -- bnr box has 1,2,3,5 gears "longer" cause it is more suitable for high torque engine.

afaik both boxes are equally strong and there is no differences in reliability.

p.s. since bnr32 and hnr32 have different final gear ratio -- they should have different speedometer gears in transfer case and different speed sensors. i`m not sure -- it is wise to check it with NISSAN FAST.

As i'm "PLANNING" a rebuild with Cams, Cam Gears and a 2530/5 with the rest of the supporting goods would it be safe to say the GTR box would be a good option then with the added power/torque (as far as dealing with the ratios)?

As i know the ratios are different because i'd be lucky to get 45-50km/h tops out of 1st in my GTS4. Now i'm not after some stupidly high 80km/h in forst or anything.

Im just after something with a little taller ratios thats all?

Any opinions?

You won't be able to tell from the outside, the box casing is the same and as far as I know the numbers are too. The only way will be to check the speedo against a gts4 with a gts 4 box or jack the car up, car in 1st, wheels off ground (supported by stands of course) and turn the engine over by hand and count how many times it takes to turn the prop shaft 1 turn - and compare against the gearbox ratios of the two boxes.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
