I blew my auto gearbox in my r33 well lost 3rd/4th changing to manual friggen r33 gearboxs are expensive even with k's on them and in need of a rebuild and synchros have got a few options just want to find out a bit about strength of the boxs

can get a gts4 rb20det r32 box for $250 I know it's 4wd and didnt really want to stuff around but its cheap so wondering is the internals the same as the rb20det r32 box/rb25de(r33) or is it beefed up more like the gtr box? otherwise how do the r33(rb25de)/r32(rb20det) boxs cope compared to the r32(rb25det) boxs trying to keep things cheap as $1400 for a r33 box that really needs a rebuild is a bit over-rated

if the gts4 box is stronger than a r32(rb20det gtst) then I'll grab that otherwise I guess I'll have to keep looking

yeah I got the GTS4 box as its the same as the gtr box just different 2nd and 3rd gears same strength though, cut and rewelded the tunnel fabed up a couple of new mounting points got a r33 gtr active diff and tailshaft and pumps etc and made a controller for the pumpI'll finish it up on the weekend when i get some time I'll set up the front drives in a month or 2 once I've got a subframe and the time to align it etc already have a front sump and front shafts sorted so just a couple of extra bits and pieces I'll keep an eye out for....

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
