Drift Spec:

Just do a full service on the car your self.

I.e Fuel Filter, Gearbox Oil, Diff Oil.

And Slap a tube of Nulon G70 in the Gearbox and Diff.

You will be amazed how much difference it makes.

Use Castrol VMX80 for the gearbox, with Nulon G70.

Give it a couple hundred kays to work in then feel fourth again.

It should be better.

If the R33's are the same the fill plug is on the passengers side of the gearbox and roughly centered.

The empty plug is also roughly centered and is on the bottom of the gearbox (duh).

Grab your self a length of general garden hose make sure it is clean and dry.

Empty the oil then put the plug back in (duh) before filling :D

Feed the hose from your engine bay under the car following the exhaust and then put the hose in to the fill hole.

Fill her up from your engine bay.

My Gearbox takes roughly 2 ltr's of oil so I would shove 1ltr in then the Nulon G70 then the other ltr.

Castrol VMX80 is very good but if you want they (AutoBarn) will point you in the direction of Mutol Gearbox oil which is very expensive but does basically the same job just probably a little better maybe?!?!?!

It costs a bitmore than 700-1000 for a rebuild, trust me ya better off paying for a 2nd hand box and using that unless ya car is putting out some serious grunt!! Rebuild with factory parts is $3000 roughly - depends on who is doing it. If ya want one with race parts, I highly suggest you call somebody who does them, lets just say you wont be getting much back from $5000 if ya lucky and getting mates rates!!

Lets jsut say after calling a lot of places around.. Ive decided "box is good!!" :cool:

i just did a service and i used castrol syntrax 75w-90 full synthetic gearbox oil and a tube of nulon G70. the syntrax is a ****loads better than the vmx80 and cost about triple the price. Not as expensive as redline which was way too dear $140 for 1 gallon/ 3.7L. I must say that the box is sooo much smoother now even in the morning. Give it a go you will not regret it.

You guys have proven that additives do work through trial and error. However I was talking to Steve Cramp (Drifty you may want to call him at Manta Racing) and he claimed that it is not a good idea. From memory it was to do with the fact that the synchros require a certain amount of friction to change properly.

I cant remember exactly what he said however Food for thought.

Akira - FYI - The GTS25-t gearset is identical (internally) to the GTR. Obviously the transfer case etc etc aren't there, but strength wise, they're the same.

Double synchro's on 1st->3rd, and only singles on 4th and 5th... 4th seems the most common to go.

You've either got to be a really bad driver (who crunches alot), or have a *****load of power (and wearing slicks) to break one of these suckers...

Can GTR internals be used and is this is a good idea?

Any info appreciated before my 5 speed box is installed:cool:

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
