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:

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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
