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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
