Dude i think you will probably find its more bother than its worth.. in my experience these sorts of things tend to turn out costing more than the car itself. Is there a specific reason you wanted to go 6 speed?

what mods have you done to your gts-t, thanks

what about a r34 gtr box with the transfer box removed (if it's possible) or just with the front drive shaft removed

Same as the 350Z box but with a different Bell housing, so same deal really, eeither cut the transfer case off the GTR box or make a bell housing adapter for the 350Z box...which I belive Mark @ Hills motorsport in Castle Hill were developing a kit do do exactly that.

Im only starting brother, its pretty stock at the moment- turbo back zorst, coil overs, intake, R34smic and a slight boost increase. I plan on a hiflow turbo, upgraded injectors and front mount soon. I will be happy with around 250rwkw.

Your 25/30 build sounds f**king promising though! I think the whole idea of the 6 speed is great in theory, but probably way too costly to make it worth it. Definitely worth looking around at it though and getting some prices, i always wish my liner had an extra gear on the highway.

thanks man, down the line when im finished the engine ill probably go all out with the 6 speed gearbox,

but atm ,

im up to getting the mods (in progress) and fitting them, tuning it, work out all the kinks, lay down some 1/4 mile times, hopefully some track runs

and then worry about cruising down the highway in six ,haha, would be sweet though.

cheers.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
