Hello.

yeah as the title states i'm looking to buy a strong gearbox for a series 1 r33 gtst. (dont know if it matters but i have a push type clutch)

i'm looking for one that has got upgraded internals or a getrag 6 spd. but if i have to just throw in a standard one just to get rolling, well so be it.

just had some bad luck with builders and have been doing a build for 9 months now.

the guy doing the build now (a top bloke) has just informed me that the box i have now is shot and something needs to be done (engine is ready to put in now). but due to this such poor work being before him this build has cost alot more than expected!! and shelling out for an off the shelf new gearbox is not an option at the moment and asking him to wait another month (monthly pay) while i save up doesn't seem fair.

oh and i'm located in Sydney + willing to post

Thanks for reading

Russ

what a good idea!

i only just started to read about this cryo thing and wish i had done it to my engine before i got it built.

how much did it cost to do your box? what sort of power do you think it'll be able to handle? does it make the metal brittle at all?

looks like i may have to do alot more reading up on this!

thanks alot for the suggestion!!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
