Theyre the strongest out of all the models of skyline, but then they also modified the gearboxes when the s2 r33 gtr was released (double synchros, stronger 3rd gear)...

Standard GTR boxes are good for around the 500hp mark, after that you run the risk of stripping 3rd, which is where the ppg and os giken kits come into effect. For dans use tho, I think a standard 3rd gear out of any late GTR box will be enough - unless he wants to spend the $5k on the osgiken gearset..

What? I thought 32 GTR boxes were renouned for being super-strong?

pretty sure Dan has a twin plate button, OS gearset wouldnt be too much harder, haha.

Im just trying to hold off on the smashed box jokes.

i have been wondering why you havnt posted one yet lol

The Nismo copper mix twin plate clutchs, one of which Dan is running make for an exremely streetable clutch,

If I had the coin - Thats the clutch I'd go for.

BIT-SUS, whas the PPG gearset like to drive with?

pretty sure you have been ill advised

the OS giken gearset is discontinued also

really Chad

there is basically only a couple of gearboxes nissan built RB20, RB25push RB25Pull seen in late model 32 and all 33 GTR's some late model s2 33's might have the pull type gear box too

does nobody read these days

Nope, you're thinking straight cut gears (PPG, Hollinger)... the os giken gearsets are the same synchromesh gears the stock box has, but made of higher quality metal (with slightly different ratios too)

I've read in other places from SAU that the GTR gearbox is the strongest of the lot steve, can you point us towards any documentation that says otherwise? The 25 has the same gear ratios as the gtr but not the same xfer case, aside from common gears I dont know if theres any other differences in the running gear, aside from the previously mentioned mods that were applied to s2 33 gtrs

Don't the OS gearsets make your car a fvcken cop to drive?

25 boxes probably are just as tough as the gtr boxes if they do use the same gears, they'd also have the added bonus of fitting a rwd car better than the gtr xfer case... for street driving the boxes should hold up quite decently, but if ur gonna give the car a good working out with a beefy engine i suppose thats when you go to osgiken or dog boxes ;P I'd love the os giken kit tbh but theyre $5k per set...

not sure Ben just something i heard along my skyline travels

there are however exceptions to every rule see mention of Andrew aka Blue32

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
