R35 Transmission In R32 Gtr Is It Even Plausible?

[GTRAAH]

Whats the closest transmission conversion for an r32 gtr that would compete with the almighty r35 trans

[Miguelone]

In terms of...?

[GTSBoy]

Retrofitting a dual clutch autowunderbox would have to be a fairly significant challenge. I'd go out on a limb and suggest that it would be nigh on impossible to achieve it without considering a complete R35underR32 transplant to get all the systems present and accounted for. Budget - very very large.

So, assuming that you want something better than an H pattern box but can't really afford to spend the $100k or so to put the R35 stuff in, then the most realistic option is that you'd be looking at a Hollinger sequential. And really, it's unlikely you could afford that either.

I have just spent close to 7k on labour and Osgiken 5 speed box, noisy but very tough im not looking to change it anytime soon but its just a question, how can you possibly match the speed on the gear changes that the r35 can do, as thats the main advantage of that car

Its not the main advantage at all.

It's an overall package that simply has better everything. It's not just fast because of the gearbox alone.

[GTRAAH]

of course not but im saying a 650hp rb26dett will be much much driveable with that transmission and alot quicker

[GTSBoy]

Well, that's the reason I was saying that it would be a massive exercise verging on the impossible. That whole interaction between the gearbox and engine needs to be replicated, and so you'd need to come up with an engine management solution for the RB that would do what is needed, and have all that fine tuning and development work done that has probably cost Nissan tens of millions of dollars to get right (as of the 2011 R35 release). Tough ask.

A 650hp 26 will never be nicely driveable

You've got lag to content with, the R35 simply doesn't.

Gearing is also another factor you'd need to think about. A 35 box is designed around its weight, torque/power range and gearing...

A 2.6ltr will be very different.

Realistically if you want lightning fast shifts you need a hollinger, or a manualised auto or something.

[GTRAAH]

-5 arent that laggy. I feel its easily driveable and i have close to 500hp yeh i know 650hp are probably close to those turbos limits. So what can you do to put a manualised auto? has anyone ever done it? and what makes a hollinger quick shift? My future plan is to convert it to a RB30DETT with the -5's i heard tha its a very nice mix. Another question now im getting off the topic sorry lol But once you convert it to a rb30dett can you bore it out to 31 or 32 getting closer to the 3.8lt r35 Plus its much lighter so that should make up for the extra few hundred cc's

Spool do RB34 strokers, cost a pretty penny, but will get you closer to the 3.8L

[GTSBoy]

If you want to get closer to the 3.8L mark, just move to an FG XR6 motor.

[Birds]

Buy an R35?

Your not using the right mechanic then

[R31Nismoid]

lol no i just like response. You'll never get a 2.6l/650hp, responsive.

You'd need to get a massive stroker for that.

[tricstar]

not massive, "GAV" Beers 2.8L, -5's, E85, 620rwhp good boost in early 3k's rpm, But yeah, nothing on the R35 package around a track or motorkarna

[ido09s]

What would you say if my T78 RB26 was on full boost (24psi) by about 4000rpm and makes 460rwkw on 98. The car runs 135mph so its making decent power. Thats about 500rpm more than a stock RB26.... or is your idea of response full boost at 3000rpm

[T04GTR]

drop ricardo or x-trac a line, im sure they have something that can be used for onehundred thousand....

RICARDO TRANSMISSION

x-trac

[doo doo]

Isn't the 35 box at the rear of the car (for better weight distribution) like a transaxle? As far as I can tell everything on the 35 is built for the 35 alone. Oh the headaches.....

Re response- 2.6 RB with low mount twins, 400rwkw on 18psi, on pump fuel, full boost by 4000rpm with enough meaningful boost between 3000-4000 (10psi from 3000rpm) to make a substantial difference, has more power here (3-4000rpm) than stock and therefore actually feels more responsive than stock. (and yes I drove it and a stocker back to back to check). Also runs Motec which made big difference. Everyone's got a preference so...........

[GTRAAH]

Buy an R35?

Im keeping my 94" GTR32 for life! It will be my hobby to experiment. Not worth selling... slowy slowy it will fully customised to my perfection interior exterior and engine. One day i might buy the r35 but till then my gtr 32 is my baby. I just cant get enough of the feel of it. maybe in 20 years when i open he garage and its in 100% condition body will still be 97% Original but the interior will be highly futurised. It might open some eyes when i drive it out on sunday cruises lol. It is not my daily driver and will never be.

[GTRAAH]

If you want to get closer to the 3.8L mark, just move to an FG XR6 motor.

No i aint letting go on of the RB if anything i will build on top of it till it cant take no more then build around it to keep it healthy then garage it and take it out on special outings and cruises. Never selling it!!! i dont look at the car as money its my hobby. I will never be at the point where ill say i need money i need to sell it. Its not money to me.
