Ok...

Change of direction here...

I might be able to get my mits on a Getrag gearbox, now there are a few questions I need to ask..

1: Would the gearbox fit right into a GT-T from the GTR?

2: How would I go about removing the 4WD transfer case?

3: Is it possible to fit a GTR rear diff to a GT-T rear cradle?

On that note, how could I go about buying or importing a GTR rear diff...

Thanks!

I can't give definite answers, but what i can say is if the getrag fits, after the transfer case if off, it'll need lots of custom work. Think clearances for the transmission tunnel, mounts, input shaft etc. You'll likely need a custom tailshaft. Are GTT LSD's the same as GTR's? That'll come into play if you're looking at a diff conversion. It'll be easier if you use the GTT diff housing and replace the internals with GTR gears, assuming they're different.

I think most of the experts log off when it's prime time :P

It could be done but the floor needs a LOT to work to fit the added box and cut down transfer. i do ALOT of cut down R32 and R33 GTR boxes for S13 and R32 conversions.

The cost of a R34 GTR box and transfer will set you back the same as a Quaife 6sp or similar in good second hand condition..... and they will bolt straight in without all the hassles.

Hmmmm, speaking from your extensive experience, how would a Supra Getrag go?? Obviously it would be minus a transfer case, as the Supra is RWD.. I'm assuming this would make it somewhat easier.. Have you ever done, or heard of a Supra 6spd being installed into a Skyline?? Otherwise, what would the availability of Quaife 2nd hand 6spd's be like? and cost?? Or lastly, would it be possible to fit one of those 6spd manuals from the late model Falcons??? I hear they go pretty well.. However, how would it go fitting into the Skyline's transmission tunnel..

Appreciate the help anyways!

Thanks mate,

Mark.

supra 6 spd or v35 6spd would be preferable and easier

however they question would be why you would do this . given the r32/33 gtr - 33/34 gtst gearbox is pretty strong , good for 350kw at the wheels quite easily your extremely unlikely to push the limits of that box in r34 gtt . so why go for the extra hassle ?

much more sensible idea as you already have the manual box is to purchase an a/m gear set cost 3-4k and put that in , would probably be stronger than stock getrag and no size , tunnel , transfer , custom issues to worry about

Well speaking of the gearsets, are they available in six speed?? Can I get them in Aus? If not, who can import them??

Also, in the event I did want to go to a Supra or V35 Getrag, surely it wouldn't be impossible to pick up one of these transmissions, would I need to look towards Japan? or would there be enough of them in Aus??

Well I've now committed to a 3.6 final drive for my GTT, I'm now back in the ballpark to consider my 6 speed options, I saw a supra getrag that went up for sale just a few weeks ago. That is now sold so it is a matter of just seeing what's around, either a supra getrag or 6 speed gearsets is what I'm looking for...

Any suggestions??

i have a 6 speed getrage 57kms from stock supra if you are looking

Internally the same. Too much f**king around for little benefit. It's not even that strong a box anyway. I've seen people convert R32 GTR boxes to RWD so I don't see why it couldn't be done with an R34 one. Good luck. Start saving.

SAY WHAT!?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but what Gearbox did you end up using in the end?

Cheers,

Glen

    • Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to
    • This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
    • Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed
    • All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible  
    • Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
