Hi All,

Got a r33 gtst series 1,

Tailshaft:

Pulled off tailshaft off to uas to get cromemoly replacement for $490 If someone knows of cheaper place with same quality would be appreciated as ive rang around and no-one even will match it (maybe just ringing wrong places lol!)

lightened flywheel:

Uas cromemoly $490 4.9kg again similar pricing from others have looked at billet items but from reading forums cromemoly seams more popular for street use and the power output im after.

Gearbox:

Rang the place in greenacre (forgot name of place) supposibly do good work $1500 to clean and repair whats needed and replace my worn brass button with a cushioned brass button, $75/syncro thats stuffed doubt any are but car has done 130,000klms so maybe 2nd and 3rd gone, as i drive trucks on occasion using brass button doesnt bother me 2 much as last 2 cars have had them aswell!

My question again is clutch advise/ gearbox specialist that is cheaper and still do good work!

Last but not least Diff Centre:

Looked for ages on this have decided on 1.5way lsd, nismo seems best, but kaaz is only $1050 delivered and is tempting!

As with the diff i have a mate who does em and he cant beat this price but is installing for a slab lol.

My mate seems to think that for roughly 300rwkws standard should surfice but is on the breakable side?

As i have a 300zx the standard diff handles the 317rwkws i have in that but 300zx has stronger diff/shafts/hubs, plus its auto lol!

Im not going to waste my time changes hubs shafts so fourth plus im almost certain the skyline with standard/new diff should handle what im after!

Again any advise is great!!

As im only expecting the car not to exceed 700nm of torque/rough estimate for 300rwkws similar to my 300zx, should i waste the money on a new diff centre at all or get some new (shims 0.8mm not sure if this is the correct word) and be done with the diff!?!

As the tailshaft and gearbox and the flywheel i most definitly want them regardless so if everyone that respondes can summarise it like the following:

Gearbox Place To Remove/Repair/Re-Install/Price You Personally Paid:

Clutch Purchased From/Type/Price:

Flywheel Purchased From/Type/Price:

Tailshaft Purchased From/Type/Price:

I have read over all forums/threads no-one seems to summarise this especially when these are the most replaced parts maybe even make a sticky in a summarised form, if there is and im just not searching properly please provide me the link also please keep chit chat to minimum pm me if you want to do that, or if you really want to call me all is appreciated!!

Cheers all

Ok, a little hard to understand exactly but I'll give it a go.

Gearbox - what's broken? Why are you pulling it out if not just to replace clutch?

Clutch and flyerwheel related - some clutches come with a flywheel. I personally have a GTR clutch rebuilt by Jim Berry. It cost about a grand. I used a GTR flywheel. I give up on knowing how much power I have but I have a 4 door R34 and have run 111mph at the strip. This car is definitely heavier than R33's. Maybe 80-100kg. I did a drag day on sunday and did 37 runs over the day. The clutch is still fine. This is a single plate and quite bitey but can be slipped.

That UAS flywheel seems like a good deal to me.

Drive shaft - why? For weight?

Diff - what are you using the car for? I smashed the CV's on one side last time out at the drags with whatever power I have. (250rwkw give or take) GTR drive shafts can be used but need hubs and diff as well. For track a 1.5way centre would be the way to go. If dragging with decent tyres then you will probably break rear CV's.

Standard diff will be open wheeling after not too long at all. It wont smash, just open wheel and give you the shits cos you wont be able to get the power down.

yeah. just get the power. f**k doing all that. waste of money if nothings broken. and as far as im aware a r200 will take 1000hp no worries. and if its a tt z its got a r220. wich is bigger. so it wont break

look, the shaft they re-use your joints. so if there f**ked bad luck. out of all that a lsd is about all id do.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
