Hello guys,

I have a 550WHP R32 GTR.. I do about 10 drag run a year. Only use it as a street machine whatsoever. I'm wondering if I should go for :

1. a R33 transmission who has been rebuilt 1 years ago with Os giken 5 gears set and hollinger input shaft.

2. or simply open my R32 tranny and put new synchro for about 25% of the price of the os giken.

Would the os giken last for decade or it might break as quick as my oem with new synchro?

Thanks for your input!

What's breaking, the gears or synchros? They each break for completely different reasons. OS Giken won't save you from worn synchros, AFAIK they use the factory ones...so if that's what's wearing in your setup then stick with the factory box. The weak link in the standard box is 3rd gear, but if you've been doing okay with it gear wise then I'd just replace synchros or get a second handy cause they are dirt cheap.

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.

      Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.

      The picture of the underside of that PCB shows either old flux that wasn't cleaned properly or some other contaminant (I.E Water). I would flush it with ISO and try again.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @silviaz Are you skim coating the entire panel (covering the entire panel with filler) before your hitting it with the long block? Or are you selectively applying filler to the repair, trying to fill the low points?  Please don't do that.  Almost certainly. Are you checking the panel for flatness as you go? Or is it more a case of, sand til all the guide coat is gone then check?
