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

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
