hey guys, a silly question but need help. Thinkin of going a 3L bottom end and have a spare r33 gts4 gearbox. Form what i can gather they are the same strenght as a GTR box but different ratio. Now my question is, can i use it on a RB30 and what tailshaft/diff would i need ? Or just stick with the normal gtst box ?

Any help is appreciated

What car? I'm assuming is a RWD platform as you talk about re-using your gtst gearbox...

If it's an R32 GTSt, I killed my stock box very quickly after chucking the 3L in.

If it's an R33 GTSt, then your box is already as strong as a GTR box as they are pretty much the same internals (I upgraded to an RB25DET box, including the box and custom tailshaft good for 800Nm, and some other bits like slave cylinders, pivot ball etc, cost me nearly $2.5k and I did the work myself).

Using a 4WD gearbox in a RWD application requires some cutting and shutting.. easier to use an R33 RB25DET box.

the trouble there is r33 gts4's are pretty rare, and the demand for that gbox wouldn't be strong. even gtr boxes are cheap as chips so i wouldnt expect much for that one. it probably isn't expensive to have the transfer case removed and sealed off so i'd seriously look at that, given that its got the same internals as the 2wd turbo box anyway so you'd have a good gearbox for little expense.

I have a stock R33 gtst gear box, Will strip it out for the right price. pm me if your intrested mate-

No one has ever confirmed the stenght of internals - Im planning to run 300+ kw through mine- Been N/A up untill now.

A few people on here have put plenty of poke through them with no worries, depends how you treat it though- 8k dumps and smashing gears isent goign to be good for any stock box.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
