I'm gonna live with my RB 20det with all the bolt ons and huge turbo but thats gonna be temporart till i have it made into a RB24 or i'll jut buy an Rb30 and put RB26 aluminum heads on it.

My goal is 600+ wheel hp and the full use od the 320km/h speedo i'm ordering. What i would really like to do is get a Supra TT Getrag 6sp or a Tremec T56 from the Corvette, GT500 and Viper matted to it. The one biggest flaw in any pre 99' skyline is the lack of annother gear. The car is just boring with 5 gears, i mean you are going a good clip in each gear it's just i'd like to cruise at more then 100-110 on the highway without incinerating all my fuel for a 120-140 travel speed and an extra gear and bigger turbo would correct this. Plus when i am hauling ass i'd like to hold the speed with a lower RPM and still have the option of down shifting once or twice and doing some really speeds.

Once i get the block and tranny i'll have arround 3/4 of a year to screw arround with it all to get working for the next summer as i'll be enjoying my car on a stock engine and 20PSI.

Has anyone used a Tremec T56 transmission or Getrag 6 from a supra in any of their RB applications, and what steps were taken to acheive this? RB's got the high rev capability but everyone else has the extra gear so i'd like to fill the gap and make my car into my vision of what a Skyline should be.

Much appreciated.

Im also interested in this...specifically the Supra 'box.

From what i can tell, internally its the same Getrag unit as in the R34 GTR aswell as last generation M3 and M5 BMWs. But i doubt the housing is the same. So would prob need some mods/fabrication to make it fit.

They must not be the hardest things in the world to get installed if guys are putting them to SR's and RB drift cars. Plus if it can take a 2nd to 3rd upshift in the midst of a full throttle drift it much be durrable. I think the only reason they fail in R34's is that guys are doing full throttle 1000hp shifts with big wide sticky tires all arround to put thta power down where guys run 600-1000hp supras all day every day just fine because they have lack of tractioon to keep the shockload down a bit when doing a hard shift.

I'm sure once i have a block and the tranny sitting beside eachother i could figure out a way, i mean i'm a welder so it's almost expected that i half to make it fit one way or annother. Be it bellhousing modifying or a completely fabbed up one. If i completely fabbed up a good bellhousing i probably could sell a few in the process.

a guy in the usa just put down 1400 rwhp and 1000ftlbs of tq through a rebuilt v160.

the v160 is the same as the r34 getrag which as said earlier is also found in the supra.

the only difference is the transfer case shock loading the system on a gtr and the case design.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
