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!

I am also looking at the same thing, my 2nd gearbox let go in a week! :) :)

Is there any catch to bolting in an R33gtr box? I have heard it bolts in, but does it run fine with the rest of the 32gtr drivline?

cheers :)

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 :)

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?

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Kip · Posted

      Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to through some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.

      C34 RSFour V Build in the US

      Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?

      G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.
