He said something about being in the bahamas.......and thanks Snowy;)

What was the cost of the parts mate. Just contemplating the possibulities later on (or taking advantage of someone who busts a gearbox and sells it)

They are definitely not the same

neither will the new holden 6 speed.  

Getrag is a brand not a model, remember that.  

as for parts. a 6 speed sequential box from hollinger would only cost you a little more... while a gear set will cost you alot less

The R34 gtr uses a V160/161 getrag transmission.....as does the JZA80 supra(and i assume that this tranny is used by a number of other vehicles) ....therfore the internals are IDENTICAL....there are two types of synchro's some have 6 tooth and some have 7 tooth....you dont know what you got until you pull it apart.....the gears are about 500 each and the synchro ring vary from 70-120 each....the shift drums are 280 each

heres a pic of the new gear.......the arrow point to the teeth that snowie likes to destroy.....these are the dogs....the shift drum locates on these and locks the gear to the shaft when selected(the synchros job is to "synchronise"these 2 componants by acting as a brakepad for the gear(it rides in between these two parts)....these little teeth transfer all the power!Its quite unbeleivable

I am in the automotive trade....lots of my friends have panelshops/mechanical repair shops both here and in japan...i usually get called in for one off jobs,jobs that require attention to detail or jobs that require a bit of engineering/design for componants that have been damaged,failed/have a design fault or are no longer available so therefore have to make the part in question,basically all the ball breaking jobs :cheers:.......sometimes i am asked to fix the unfixable...i usually do something starting with the letter "F" to it and it aint fix :)

I think    The  WHITEs  that came 2 outright in Targa Tas   in there GTR   made  there own syncros ...  you can Not buy all the parts in a BMW Getrag 6 speed as they only list certain parts in the box 4 sale .. other wise a exchange box from Bmw  ..   Getrag rate there boxes  as the Maximum  inputshaft torque in  newton meters  the box can take safely  .. So not all Gearboxs with the Name Getrag are the Same ..

If they made their own synchros and they were ina ny way different to the factory ones, they should be disqualified.

Oh, they were.

on another note.....its not a power rating issue with this particular gearbox....its the fact of getting it into gear in the correct manor thats the problem

hahahaha has snowey been a bit rough with it?

:cheers: i think we all have been a bit rough with our 34GTR gearbox's....Its quite funny actually i had a 400rwkw supra at my place for a while that had this gearbox in it and the thing is still going to this day without drama's

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
