Has anyone in Vic done any mods to their GTR gearbox? I busted 3rd synchro on the weekend :( and am trying to find out what is the best thing to do while I have the box out?

Labour won't cost me so I will save there but I do need a clutch also, so buying a dog gearset is most likely out of the question, just too much $$$$ at once to spend.

Has anyone heard of stronger aftermarket synchro's??? Where?

Thanks.

all he did was buy leewangs spare GTR box lol.

whats the budget?

No real budget as yet. Just trying to see what is good value for money. I haven't even decided which clutch to go for. Tossing up between OS twin or Exeddy Twin.

I think I will most likely just replace synchros in 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Was thinking of getting short shifter, but have heard bad stories.

Ring him and discuss pricing vs what you want.

Just have the box rebuilt for stock if you ask me.

Unless your over 400rwkw i wouldnt be worrying about gearsets or anything

Thanks for that. I will give him a call. Though I'm a bit reluctant to use another single plate... The Exeddy 3 puck I have was pretty hopless, slipped from day one.

The reason I would like an aftermarket gearset is not the strength but the fact that they are closer ratios.

Jim is the man. Trust me >_<

As for ratio's... just change the diff's to 32 GTR diffs :ermm:

Cool will give Jim a call. As for the diff I have just fully rebuilt the rear so I won't be getting rid of that anytime soon :D

Anyone run a short shifter in a GTR? What do you think of it for the track?

Jim Berry clutches are the shinitz. No doubt about it. JB FTW!!!

As for the gearbox, if you are running <400rwkw, stock box is fine. After that, I highly recommend the OS Giken Cross Mission gearset. Get the sandwhich billet plate and upgraded input shaft for peace of mind.

This combination in my car has held 600+ awkw with no problems whatsoever.

or your a shit driver :D:D

Breaking gears due to excessive power and wearing a syncrho ring out are two differant things. As I have mentioned previously, I am considering an after market gearset not for the strength reason but for the better response the shorter ratios give .eg mines car has R33 diff and aftermarket gearset.

As for Jim Berry, looks like he is the man by an overwhelming number.

Thanks guys much appreciated. :D

I've contemplated it in the long run, but I always figured just whcking in stock boxes was the way to go... but I guess it depends on how big the trail of stock boxes behind you gets...

Thats true, but apart fom the strength aspect of the OS gearset, the added respone you get from the closer ratios is awesome.

I've seen a GTR with the trust gearset and that thing got from 1st to 3rd in no time :D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
