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

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
