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.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
