Getrag Parts Discontinued?

I'm being told certain parts for the Getrag are now discontinued? 

Specifically, award are telling me they cannot get a 3rd gear synchro and 3rd/4th selector hub. 

Anyone got a lead on these parts or at least the part numbers?

These guys do rebuild kits for R34:

http://www.ag-y.com/

Auto Gallery Yokohama gearsets (rebuilt boxes).

 

yes there are upgraded synchro boxes available. I have one in my 32. made by auto gallery yokohama (Koizumi)

it's a good box. i've used it for about 5 years with no drama.

you can do a mix of the OS box and AGY bits.

DJR81, they have their own double cone synchros. they also do various different close ratio gear sets too just like OS Giken.

they do a nice transfer case overhaul too.

ratio choice:

version 1

= ,611       
=,733         
=,289         
=,000        
=,752        

OR (standard ratios I think?):

1 3,214 
2 1,925
3 1,302 
4 1,000
5 0,752 

They have some optional 5th gear choices too:


5 0,842
5 0,826
5 0,800

version 2 close ratio box is:

1 1,903
2 1,476
3 1,186
4 1,000
choice of the 3 above.

So I found a place in the Netherlands with new old stock of Toyota V160 parts, same thing different packet. 

I was willing to buy all 3 hub and sleeve assemblies but he will not sell those without selling a full synchro kit, and I mean full synchro kit not just liners etc. 

He's charging a premium naturally (circa 3k delivered) so I'm going to sit on it and wait til Jacks completes their revised 3-4 assembly and buy all my bits through them at more reasonable prices (under 2k and improved/revised hub/sleeve combo and carbon liners for 1-4.

Hi Dan, how did you go with this? Did jacks end up getting back to you? 

Also any particular reason why you are changing the selector hub aswell? 

Thank you,

jono

They are expecting finished 3/4 hubs hopefully this month.

Award said if it ever pops out of gear thats the selector and I thought if already paying for labour to remove is might as well just do all synchros and hub/sleeves and be done with it.

That said, new fluid and Nismo trans mount has made a solkd difference so this will be on the back burner while I finish other bits I wanted first (cams and springs mainly).
i have  a complete getrag box with twin plate clutch i could  consider selling for the right price
only thing needed to do conversion into 32/33 GTR is a tail shaft


PM me details, last one I saw was drug money and I see no reason for that when a rebuild isn't "that" expensive, but can't hurt to talk :)

Could be handy to do a swap, then build the other one the side though.

Did you hear anything about these Dan? They sound too good to be true... 

Dan, I'm interested in what sort of abuse, if any, you put your Getrag through for the 3rd syncro 3/4 selector hub needing replacing?

Normal wear/tear or

Bcos race car ?

Update

No idea, I've done 1000ks in the car in 18mths. 

I just noticed that on a few WOT changes between 2nd and 3rd that 3rd was hard to engage and on a couple of occasions it popped out of gear. 

Award told me it will need Synchros and a 3-4 hub and sleeve to remedy those issues and also to try a better trans mount and fluid (which helped). 

I'm also known for being a bit picky with that sort of stuff so by other peoples standards it might be "fine".

The clutch could also be a component of the engagement issue as heat seems to be a factor.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
