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!

    • 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.
    • 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
