hey guys

i've got an r33gtst with 300kw atm but will have 400kw in coming months.

what do a do bout gearbox and clutch?

can a r33gtr box be modified to suit gtst and handle the power or should i be getting straight cuts? for a clutch i was thinking bout a nismo twin plate?

is this the right path?

cheers

stick with the 5 speed box you have, but i would upgrade to an OS GIKEN gear set. or a ppg helical 1-4 dog gear set.

os giken is priced at $4700

the ppg dog box 1-4 is $6500

and if you wanna do it once and never break anything (itll be very hard) then you can go the full 1-5 straight cut dog box from ppg for $9700

My cousin has a 400rwkw R33GTST with standard box!!!. Has been driving it with this powerfor 4 years now, eastern creek plenty of times countless amounts of insane burnouts, hard driving and still holding fine, they are a tough box especially behind a rear wheel drive car.

As always if you are brutal and slam gears in like your Fangio on a mission all the time anything will break eventually.

Really i wouldnt worry that much dont fix it till it breaks, then add a gearset but i think you will find it will take more punishment than you think.

My 2 cents worth.

Dave.

Do it right once either a OS Giken twin plate which will hold 400rwkw as this is what my cousin runs and has that power and no probs yet. Or i guess a triple plate but i have heard these break gearboxes as they dont have a sprung centre but not 100% sure about this.

Jim berry clutches seem good but im a brand man and just like to trust good quality Japanese products.

How hard did you drive your car??

just wondering if i should start looking before i brake mine...

i thought they could handle a bit more power than that..

Its not the gears that broke, just everything else around them :)

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
