Dogbox In A 33?

[Shadex]

Please don't flame me im just a nub! Lol, But i was wondering if theres such a thing.. Im told there is.. But ive searched and haven't really found much on the subject. My gearbox is abit grindy as it goes in to third every now and again and i have tried Redline oil etc.. But im just wondering ( cause it come on after a day of hard driving ) Would i have done something to the gearbox? ( A mate suggested the sin chrome but then he said that doesn't just come on it progress's.. So would this be the start? ) If so why would the gearbox start to die under only 184rwkw.. I haven't grinded the gears or anything, But just now its starting to have a slight grind in to 3rd once every 10 changes.. But morel of the story is.. Does anyone know much about a dog box for a R33? And/Or a rough price? Cause im looking at putting alot more power in it once i have the money, So i would like to start with a strong base. Even though i was told Rb25 Drive line and engines are almost indestructible.

dog box????? do u enjoy loud howling noises and crunching into everygear instead????

a gearset made by os giken will do the trick its a sychro set to btw. u could get it dont and fitted for about 3500 to 4000 would have to order gearset from japan tho.... good for 800 crank hp so ive been told

Well it was the only suitable option i found.. But thanks ill look in to that =]

worthwhile checking your clutch 1st perhaps. Don't worry about a dog box yet tiger, a good dog box would be more expensive than what you paid for your car.

but as he's quote'd only ever happens in 3rd gear..... plus yes u might be abit lazy sumtimes and not fully depress the clutch pedal but eh minor details

[Shadex]

Its a brand new 6puk Ceramic HD clutch.. And its fairly high up the peddle, So ive been told by people that it shouldn't be the clutch and yes i thought it was that to.. But i have concentrated on it lol, And it still does it.

what redline oil did u use... which one exactly

[Shadex]

Redline Shockproof Lightweight... Its the one i got recommenced by like 8 people they said the heavyweight wont work as well.

[Shadex]

So im not sure what else it could be =(

[r33cruiser]

when was the last time u CHANGED the gearbox oil?

[hayden49]

Crunchy gearboxes are just a part of skyline life.

Putting some light weight shock proof oil in can help things but the box will never be 100% smooth.

Have you ever driven a car with a dog box? Its not a pleasant experience lol.

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

the previous owner of the car before you could have thrashed the hell out of it, but then u'v babied it but the box is still on its way out.

bigger clutch will put a little more strain on the box (aswell as other things)

does it grind when upshifting or downshifting? (2nd to 3rd, or 4th to 3rd)

[Shadex]

To R33cruiser : I have only had the car for about 2 months.. and since then i only changed it last week to put the redline in it, But the oil was still really golden.

To hayden49 : If thats the case i don't mind, I have a 2way that grinds when its cold.. But im told thats normal for them.. And i mean if its a normal thing i don't care.. its just when its a bad thing then thats when i start to get worried about something going on me lol.

To StRyDeR: And no it seems to only been shifting up in to 3rd.. I mean with second and 4th its a little bit notchy and thats about it.

I wouldn't personally worry too much with a dog box unless you're chasing power of well over 350-400rwkw and will give the car a punishing on a regular basis... Pretty expensive for those type of gearsets. Stick with the 25 gearbox. supposed to be strong as.

Ya thats what i got told, Now look! lol
