congrats snowie - at least now the poor subaru can go back to being a work car and not get hammered on the track

i know how you feel in part snowman. I bought a car in Japan mid June, hopefully getting off the docks Mon/Tuesday, then compliancing and it's a test car so gotta wait for DOTASSHOLES to come and look at it (hopefully early September) - Started looking for a car beginning of April

best of luck for the Dutton Rally, will it be on any motorsport shows, free-to-air or cable? I saw R32 GTR's racing on some motorsport show on Foxtel, killing everyone of course

cheers.

I have just started looking through the japanese yahoo auctions and noticed at least 3 or 4 second hand R34 6- speed getrag boxes going around the $1500-$2000 bracket and one brand new getrag around the $4500 mark shouldn't cost much more than $7 - 800 to get back here just a option if you do another one.

pfitzner do, so do hollinger and so do PAR engineering - but only for the 5 speed box in the 32/33 - not for the 6 speed getrag in the 34.

Out of interest, are the rebuild kits for the standard synchro setup, or are you talking about part/full dog setups?

Heh, sorry for digging up an old thread. One of my R32 GT-R's synchros might be on the way out (that, or the leak on to the clutch wasn't fixed), so was just digging around for info on options. Seems like its a choice between a dog box (too pricey, not very streetable) or getting a Nissan syncrho + bearing kit. Shame there is no middle ground (ie. aftermarket synchro option). There's something for you if you want a challenge Troy

r33 series 3 synchros?

[Mulkers]

Don't worry mate, i know how you feel. I have had my car off the road since friday night, and i am putting the new diff in tommorow. I s'pose your situtation is a little more serious, but i am pretty impatient

r33 series 3 synchros?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is there actually any proof of the series three boxes being markedly* better? I mean, we've all heard they are better, but is there actually anything to back that up?

* Just to be clear, I mean that they are significantly better, not just the odd nip and tuck.

you can do a double synchro conversion....i posted pics on it somewhere....theres a bloke in japan that makes the rings

[Snowman]

After going through the exepnsive habbit of busting 2 sets of synchro's in the 1st 6 months I discovered the best thing you can do with your gearbox is learn to drive it propperly.

Mind you - Troy did a masterful repair job the 2nd time around which has no doubt helped. But 12 months down the track and the gearbox still feels super (touch wood touch wood touch wood!)

Any idea on the cost (I would call the number, but I don't have a Japanese-speaker handy )? I found the thread, but the pictures are dead post forum changeover: you don't still happen to have them lying around do you?
