Hi all, i have found two r34 gtr getrag gearboxes in japan one with 2000kms and the other with 5000kms. pricing looks mighty tempting. I was however wondering about the complexity of the conversion. I know it can be done as the guy at the Nissan dealer had done it to his. but my lack of japanese skills couldnt get much more info than that. what would need to be done? would it be hard to mate up? what other bits and pieces would i need? would the conversion be benificial? if so, in what areas (top speed? acceleration?) how strong is this gearbox compared to the bnr32 gearbox (1993 onwards with pull type clutch found in the bcnr33)? what would a box like this be worth in oz and what would this conversion cost? sorry for the MOUNTAIN of questions, but id really like to know! any help would be greatly appreciated!

cheers

hmmm... but mongi, its the r34 box that wears the famous "GETRAG" letters. neither the 32 or 33 box do. can anyone tell me more about getrag gearboxes in general? i know the supras have them.

really!? well thats new to me. so that would mean that my 32 gearbox (93 onwards pull type clutch) would be getrag too? ive heard that the pre 93 gearboxes with the push type clutch is supposed to be almost unbreakable. the 33 gearbox (including mine) apparently have a weak third cog. once again, what are the benefits of this upgrade/downgrade?

simmo, yes they are. trust make two types the H pattern shifter, and a full sequential version. these retail for 728k yen and 1.32mill yen respectively.

sequential type

1st 2.796

2nd 1.994

3rd 1.537

4th 1.191

5th 0.198

6th 0.767

final 4.111

H pattern (helical gear)

1st 2.782

2nd 1.938

3rd 1.506

4th 1.178

5th 0.920

6th 0.777

final 4.111

im sure os make a 6 speed gear set as well. HKS have 2 versions of the 6 speed. if anyone wants the numbers (they dont mean much to me) i'll put them up.

nismofans if you are really interested, pm me and i will see what i can do.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
