I am doing another turbo conversion and E85 and possible cams

It will put me past the 300 rwkw mark. Will the gar box be able to handle it.

Or will i need to change it out to a 350z gearbox. I have done a heavy duty clutch 3 months ago

also a cuso 1.5 way diff will be in soon too.

Cheers for any info

For the street it will be fine. Depending on the exact clutch, that will be the first thing to go. I suggest putting up the clutch brand and model so we can tell you if it is up to the task. If you are doing heavy Motorsport it may not be good enough. Simon s14 broke third gear multiple times in his drift car but like I said he was pushing 350 and it was Motorsport only. TLDR for street it will be fine.

Plenty of R33's and R34's running ~300rwkw with stock manual gearboxes on the street, shouldn't be a problem. Autos start dying a lot earlier.

Obviously if you have a HD clutch, aftermarket diff and wide sticky rubber there will be a lot more load on the box ... the weakest part of the driveline will give up the ghost first, not surprisingly.

The gearboxes are strong enough to hold 300kw no worries, mine held 390kw for quite a while but fatigue and motorsport killed 3rd gear...

It depends on how you drive it and what condition it is in... I put a low km 2nd hand box in and have done 2 full track days since with no signs of weakness.

Clutch depends on what you are going to use the car for, Race Clutch, NPC, Nismo... Plenty of choices!

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
