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?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
