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.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
