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..!!!

Tommo.

^^ 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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
