allrighty ive got my r33 rolling shell withpretty much everything.. except one thing..

the gearbox,

looking around for r33 manual gearboxes, and of course, people want STUPID AMOUNTS OF COIN for them (ie 2k)

so ive beenn looking into other options, and am wondering what other people have done...

heard 300zx boxes, are same internally as a r33 one, cost 1/4th the cost, and with a bellhousing kit, gearbox mount, and yokes changed, will fit, andd give years of life.. (few SR20 boys doing these in silvias atm) with the additional cost of the bellhousing adaptor etc, will only come a couple hundred $$ ahead... (good tho when i fark it tho, cheap to replace)

another option, i heard this from some speed way boys... is the ford T5 manual tranny... these are neigh on indestructible, and apparently an aussie company makes a complete adaptor kit, for these boxes to mate up to RB30s... hence should bolt onto a rb25det nooo hassles... even better is i can get these boxes cheap as from the speedway ladies..

anyways, rb20det box is outta the question, will mince it in 2 days, possibly VL turbo MX7 (?) box? however just as expensicve as fkn rb25 boxes.

one other one is a R32 or R33 GTR gearbox, heard of people using these minus the transfer case, and using adaptor mounts or soemthing..

anyways, post up ideas, what people have done... etc

2k for a gearbox is fkn steep in my opinion...

will have to have a looky,

still looking into other options atm

no worries, i'll be interested to see if there are some comparable (or even stronger) solutions for less or equivalent money cos my box has warts....

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
