Hey ya,

Since my engine is now built i was thinking of upgrading my drivetrain.

I can pickup a brand new Nismo Conversion kit of the R32 to the 6spd R34 Getrag.

This kit includes

1) Getrag 6spd

2) Transfer case

3) Twin plate nismo super coppermix clutch

4) Front prop shaft

5) Cross member

6) Shift knob.

I can get this for about $8000 USD and the thing I like is it will have 0 km's on them.

What is everyones thoughts? Im thinking eventually I will need a new clutch (not required yet) and my transfer case is 25 years old and my gear box as well. So if I rebuild/strengthen these I am looking at not much more for the getrag.

Also I have heard the 4.111 ratios of the r32 and the 6spd make for abit of fun?????

or you could try to get a AG-Y tranny, their strenghtening SS690 box is going for 200k yen. Transfer case from AG-Y is another 80k. Add 2k for anothe rbran dnew clutch if you wish. youre at 5000k yen ( which is about 3.5us I believe right?) Your still paying about 3-4k more for this mod. I believe both box would be of same strenght, so you decide if the ratio/6speed is worh that extra money.

no idea, but you dont hear of many breaking. alot of the Japan wangan warriors i.e. 700hp+ 34 GTRs all appear to run the standard box.

locally mercury Motorsport had one in their R34 GTR until going to a OS88 i am fairly certain they changed this out due to wanting to go to sequential not due to a breakage it at 800+hp

i have personally been running one in my 740whp 32 GTR for 3 months now, doing a few track days, racewars and general driving in that time with no issues.

only issues i have found is a total lack of traction in 1st gear so need to do 2nd gear launches to get the best out of it.

Also due to the gears being closer together it is common to miss a gear i.e. go from 2nd to 5th as oppose to 3rd, But i guess that comes down to getting used to the box and being a better driver.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
