Is there any options? Im about to crank up the power a bit more in my GTR, Running 707awhp today in the car and the gearbox does feel really good in general.

However i feel its dumb to push the gearbox further and risking it would there be any Upgrade options to a R34 gtr or is it just to go straight to a PPG/samsonas/Quaiffe gearbox?

The car is mostly used as a Road car so i would prefer not to hear the whines from a Sequential

im in a similar place with similar power.

 half of the bits in the getrag are becoming rocking horse shit (try to find an input shaft)

neat gearboxes are commissioning parts to be made by albins, but they are pricing them like they have a monopoly.

only thing you can do is ISF polish the gears and go to a billet centre plate, next step is the big boi boxes.

Yeah! Might aswell sell it and go for a PPG straigh away instead of risiking damaging the box since the 6spd sell value almost covers half the PPG box.

I mean sure if you want to have to do your sequential twice go PPG.

What’s that worth? Can’t see a $$$$

A decent getrag H pattern 6 speed dog box would be sweet!

I think the last time I talked to Haysam at PAR when getting my 5 speed dog it was about $9 - $10k starting price. Obviously hasn't sold one in a while hence no price update, and would definitely only be made to order.

Pfitzner used to do a geaset for the Getrag but has been discontinued ages ago.

I would say one of the best pairings to the Getrag is an ATS carbon twin plate. the gearbox side clutch assembly (hub and plates) is unbelievably light. Each carbon disc weighs about 190 grams and really reduces the amount of work the syncros need to do.

caveat is if you do a lot of start stop traffic driving (cold slipping) it wears quite quickly. but once hot its a beast.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
