lol now now fellas

this was suppose to be 10k build... that 10k has already been spent and ill ive ended up with is 320kw and another broken box haha

ah well... it is what it is...

now the issue is what to do...

get another 33 box (which I can get for $500) + plus install and whack that in and drive like a pussy for the rest of my life

or fork out 4-5k for a OS/PPG gearset

cost vs benefit really

How many boxes will you do till you put a 'big box'

In? If you do 4, you're half way there and are still stuck with a standard box. You shouldn't be busting them with the power you have UNLESS you have no mechanical sympathy!

I say do it and do it properly. Costs less in the long run!

They can either work for or against you. At Huntley it really works. You just need a bigger engine to turn the cogs. *hint hint, nudge nudge* ;)

I got something in the pipe line.... hahaha a few more months mate

its 1st, 2nd and 3rd that cop the abuse so it would be perfect right?

thoughts?

Well that would be the same as mine as I decided to go for OEM 5th gear for highway.

That's about 3K? Try greenline.

What clutch?

That is often the cause of broken boxes.

I've got 360rwkw or so, and I can launch from 8000rpm with sticky tyres, smack second - no problems. Even flat changing 3rd-4th wasn't a problem... Run after run.

Anyone @ Drag Battle can verify :)

Not sure now.

I bought my 5 speed with big input shaft for $2,760 delivered from greenline 4 years ago. You will need all the Series 3 internals to run it.

Make sure you buy the billet centre plate from OS.

I have a spare OSG billet centre plate here ;)

Or a Trust/Quaife H-pattern dog box. :whistling:

changing gears easier would save you 5k

cost benefit ratio for you being nicer to your car is very high, and would allow you to be quicker at the strip.... as you would get to the end

lol

yeah but fatz he wants to chirp second

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
