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?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
