Hey Guys!

Ive got an r32 gtr with 340hp atw but im just in the process of putting on new turbos, computer, inj, ect, and am hoping for a fair bit more power. Problem is that my gearbox at the moment is on its way out (crunches a bit between 1st and 2nd and is generally a little clunky) with the extra power i dont think it will last to long. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to what to do about the box? do i rebuild it or am i better of looking for a new one and if so what type? it gets taken to the strip a little but is generally a daily driver. Any help would be appreciated!

When i looked into this, i found the best way to do it, and the cheapest, was to buy an OS Giken 5 speed gear set and buy new synchros aswell, fit it all back up and hey presto, unbreakable :D

What sort of price are we talking here?

Yes you can bolt the 33 box straight up, but if you bolt it up to a pre 93 model 32 gtr, you will have to convert the clutch from push to pull, as the 33 boxes are a pull type clutch. Also I don’t believe the 33 box is any stronger than that of the 32 box, as many people on here have stated.

Does anyone know if its possible to swap the bell housing from a R33 GTR box with a 90' 32 GTR housing?!

I have a hyper twin carbon exedy clutch pull type but my 32 is push type. My options are either a bell housing swap or a straight gearbox swap.

Any ideas?!

Cheers

I'm in a similar situation Krayzie. My bellhousing has smashed but rest of gearbox appears ok. Not sure whether to just replace entire box with an r33 gtr box or hunt around for a housing with the clutch fork and everything.

guys you can convert a pull type housing to push pretty easily, you just need the fork and pivot from the push box, and tap the location on the bellhousing for the slave cylinder bolts.

I saw the pic of yours ben....nasty....how did that happen? dropped off the crane or stand?

The internals of the 32 and 33 gearboxes are the same, except for the synchros on the 33 series 3 boxes which are much better....have lasted us a couple of years instead of a couple of months the 32 ones lasted each time :happy:

why not just buy a push type clutch, to match your push type car?

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      Airbox for +T

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
