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

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
