Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

sorry, didnt read it properly, thought you had an auto LOL.

Try precision Gearbox on Port Road, were nothing but help with the GTR box Im converting. And the MX7 box Im rebuilding LOL....

thought you weren't doing that anymore.....or did you go and buy it?

also, hillzy, what sorta service does it need? Is it just a 33 5 speed?

also, precision are arseholes, i usually get along with most people, but they gave me the shits...just the attitude of the dude was a joke..

Ryan @ Kansai has chucked it out the back for me in case I can find any more info... Waiting to hear back from trent @ URAS, as he's converted a few GTR boxes.... If I cant convert it, no harm done. Not looking too promising from what everyone else is telling me.....

As for the MX 7 box, It's a cheap rebuild, and If I dont use it, I can still sell it on or keep it as a spare. Precision are only charging me $400 for replacing 3rd and 4th gear syncro's (might replace 1st and 2nd yet) and a full servies.....

And as for precision, I must have spoken to another guy, or got the guy you all spoke to on a good day or he copped a root the night before, as he was nothing but helpful with me when I was making inquiries.... when I went there, same deal.

I just want the oil drained that's in it and maybe an inspection. The oil that's in it now is redline (don't know viscosity etc) but 1st to 2nd changes started to get tough when cold and made a slight syncro noise, now the same change iscrunching syncros on many of the changes even when warm. I read that redline oil isn't right in Skyline 'boxes and is responsible for syncro damage so I want it changed just to be safe.

Yep it's a standard 5 speed.

Hillzy;

Take it to MV auto's.

They do the RB DET gearbox's and know the jap shit. :cheers:

I gave MV a ring today but they guy I spoke to couldn't help me because it was a manual. He said they only do automatics.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
