Hi all,

I've got a stuffed gearbox in my GTR... it currently has an R32 GTR gearbox in it after the last one broke.

I've found a R33 GTR gearbox for sale that I want to buy, but it's without the transfer case.

Questions:

1. Can R32 GTR transfer be used with an R33 GTR box?

2. I'm pretty sure but to check, there's no differences between R33 vspec and non-vspec gearboxes?

Thanks all..!!!

^^ would mean you could pull the fuse like a R32 to put it in RWD mode

how much are good 2nd hand R33 gtr box's going for out of interest

wouldnt u also need the R32 atessa ecu???

cozz 33s and 34s can still send torque to the front wheels when the fuse is out.

but if just changing the transfer case is enough then that would be super

yeah i was never 100 percent sure why the R33 and 34 couldn't just pull the fuse i had assumed it was something internal to the transfer case :P if its the attesa ecu then that would mean turning your R33\34 into a burnout monster would be easier than thought

my research into TCS's havnt even told me if on the R33 you can electronically keep the torque to the rears

I believe the R33/R34 transfer cases are always have some power going to the front wheels, I think its called "preloading" the system, its like 5% or a small figure....R32's didn't have this preload from what I've read (not an expert so I'm not 100% sure).

But that part is different to an R32 so I don't know how the R32 GTR transfer case will work.

boxes are the same. Bellhousing is the only diff push and pull type.... easily swapped in 15mins.

R32 and R33 transfers bolt on to both models... R34 does not (getrag has differrent output shaft)

They are not identical. They will do the 4WD/shaft side of things no worries but no speedo readout. I have both cars and they are the same EXCEPT for the internal speedo drive gears and sensor. You can use a R32 in a R33 if you don't care about your speedo not working and vice versa. R32 is mechanical, R33 is electronic. Different size gears on pickups and internal case gears too so you can just swap pickup sensors either. You need R33 transfer in a 33 and an R32 in a 32 for speedo to work. Found out the hard way with this trying to fit a R32 transfer to my 33.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
