just wondering how many ,close to rev limit launches, or on the limiter, a standard r33 GTR box will handle.

its in an r32 GTR with an os giken triple plate clutch, and 330 kw atw.

i recently started going to the strip and love it, but just wondering if the gearbox will survive.

cheers

mate its hard to say on these type of things, some could last forever and some could go on your first (depending on km's and alot of other factors) give it regular services and try for second gear lanuches, your syncros will die first usally folowed by first gear, its just like asking how long will a engine last if i limiter bash it, could be years or days, all depends on previous wear.

man.... ive had my gtr for 2 years. 312kw ive done a nite a the drags. and about 100 limiter dumps on the street!! see my sig!!!

they love it hahaha

how long is your string?

your unlikely to break 1st gear, but stuff will wear out, clutches, syncros, transfer case etc, being a 32, are you launching 4wd ?

I would've launched 1st in my last R33 GTR up around a couple hundred times in a few years with no gearbox issues, just a few clutches.. however did smash the gearbox dropping 2nd while rolling..

anyway just go for it, you probably spend more on clutches than gearboxes

my bad, was going off my experience with my rwd not awd, theres no need near redline drop anyways, just get yourself a launch controller activated by handbrake and find the sweet spot rpm just before it will break traction

I'm into the hundreds of launches in my race car.

the most important thing is not to shock it by dropping the clutch cold.

just before launching put the handbrake on and let the clutch out a little to put the drivetrain under load. when the light goes out, drop the handbrake, drop the clutch, floor the throttle and watch it go.

cheers guys,

not so worried now after hearing that,

might just give it hell, and see how long it lasts.

is there any cheapish ways of making them stronger, i have looked at the OS Giken gear sets, and others, but they are so expensive, and the car isnt that powerful. ??

plus its only a street car!!!

standard box should be fine, just do what Duncan said and pre-load the drive train,

I think the high rev launch is more to not bogging rather than breaking traction...

yep by the looks of the OP's sig he's got a big single, I'm the same, launch any lower than 7krpm and it just bogs down.

get it right and ------

right you are!!!!

anything under 7000-7500 and it bogs down. high boost (1.5 bar)

low boost bogs even nearer to rev limit. (1 bar)

high rpm launch in the wet with lots of wheel spin.

Here's a good one;

Very nice. I still dont quite get the perfect launching technique with the GTR though. Everyone seems to tell me to dump it at around 6500-7000 but this thread says 1/2 clutch with handbrake.

yeah anywhere between 6500--limiter, the handbrake is just to load up the drivetrain before you launch.. on the line put on handbrake in 1st gear, let clutch out a little so it pushes against the handbrake, then clutch back in, handbrake off, don't let car roll back and drivetrain is loaded..right foot down and step off clutch..hang on..:woot:

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
