Just a quickie, does anyone know if steel synchro rings are available for nissan rb20 and 25 gearboxes ? fifth gear is steel i believe

hey man, if your pulling your box out and apart why not get some upgraded parts rather than the stockers again? probly get some added performance and they'll last longer.. i'm thinking about upgrading to an OS Giken gearset cos i've just put an Exedy twin plate in the car... need the gearbox to keep up with it lol

yeah dude, its just a slapper, i used to work in porsche supercup, a factory mod was the change from sintered brass to steel synchro rings, they are a bit heavier on the wear of the gear cone however give a far crisper and quicker gear change due to the higher co efficient of friction of the steel pn stell set up. consider synchros are $30 ea, times 5 = $150, os gear set $2k plus ?

im not that keen on spending that sort of money on a gearbox, as i said its just a slapper. I dont need a twin plate, its only 230rwkw, if i dump it it would smash the box, i've generally found that a good single plate is well upto taking this power output.

thanks for the comments though, all info helps, especially passing it on to other,

cheers
