If the car has broken a couple of stock gearboxes at its current power level, IMO you'd be a madman to put another stocker in there, it's just a waiting game until it goes again.

A wise man once told me - buy cheap, pay twice.

Hope it all works out for you though, no-one likes their pride and joy to be off the road.

hey mate i can get you a 89 32 GTR gearbox for 450 !

you have to swap the bell housing, or just swap the whole gearset

its the cheapest way to do it

and you never know what you will find inside the box

a mate bought a 32 one and it had been changed to the series 3 33 GTR box already

BONUS

let me know if you need a contact mate

couldn't agree more R33 were notorious fro breaking 3rd

Steve @ Manta Racing knows his skylines he rebuilt my front diff without even taking the engine out everywhere else was saying ah that job the engine has to come out and you could eat your lunch of the floor of his workshop very tidy and meticulous

The gearset is going to take around a month to be delivered, i would like to put a stock standard box or gearset in fot the meantime.

If anyone knows of an 32 or 33 gtr boxes around cheap then let me know as i'd like to put one in this weekend.

Cheers

Finally got a new gearbox without the trouble of waiting for it to come from overseas. The box is being assembled as we speak and consist of an OS Giken close ratio gearset with upgraded input shaft, all new synchros, bearings and seals. Just could not bring myself to buy some worn out wrecking yard box with unknown history. Basically paid the same as it would cost to build one here but i dont have to wait 3-4 weeks for parts to arrive from Japan and then assembley time, labour costs etc. Looking forward to the added reliability.

Mate these set-ups are great...we run one in our racecar and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference from a stocker. We just ran a 9 sec pass at the drags with ours and although i dont punish it, its seeing almost 500AWKW and holding up well. Synchro maintenance is the key to keeping them together.

Sounds good and will more than meet my needs.

What oil do you run in yours? I was using light weight shockproof in my last box but i have heard mixed opinions. It takes all the noises away in a worn box but when you dismantle a box that has been using it, the oil is stuck to everything but the gears.

DONT use redline shockproof in a new synchro gearbox....a good quality 75-90 gearbox oil such as Castrol Syntrax will do the job. Redline Shockproof is not suited to synchromesh gearboxes.

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
