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....

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
