I think the first gear is 3.5xx:1 and very similar between the two boxes

Taken from meggala's site http://www.meggala.com/r33transmission.html

R33 GTST

1st 3.214:1

2nd 1.925:1

3rd 1.302:1

4th 1:1

5th 0.752:1

Supra 6 speed

1st - 3.827:1

2nd - 2.360:1

3rd - 1.685:1

4th - 1.312:1

5th - 1.00:1

6th - 0.793:1

TKO 500 TCET 4616 http://www.malwoodauto.com.au/TKO.htm

1st 3.27:1

2nd 1.97:1

3rd 1.34:1

4th :1:1

5th 0.68:1

* with this box i could use a taller diff ratio

To put things into perspective,Compare an rb30E 5 spd (suited for 3.45 diff)- mines a 3 litre bottom end.

1st 3.321:1

2nd 1.901:1

3rd 1.308:1

4th 1:1

5th 0.759:1

Yes your not wrong there the T56 is a heavier box but its strength is much greater (its used in dodge vipers corvettes etc..)

The only problem I can see is first gear, but in a 600hp RB30DET would it have enough torque down low to move it just as quick as first gear in a 25 box?

Now that I'm running the RB30DET I would actually like a higher ratio first gear.

Some where inbetween first and second, maybe instead of 55km's in first say 65-70km/h.

A 4.11:1 diff ratio would probably make a nice improvement.

I should track down a Sim Drag program where you enter the engine specs in to Desktop Dyno or similiar which then copys the output over to the drag program, you enter all the gear ratio's etc and it gives a simulated 1/4 run.

I think you may find trying to launch an R33 with a 2.66 first and 4.111 final drive less than amusing . I worked on a few different diff ratios and about 4.875 gets a near acceptable ratio spread , and even then sixth is still moonshot gearing . IMO a big heavy poorly shifting truck box is not well suited to a performance car .

Surely there must be aftermarket gear sets available to fit a box that goes bolt and my guess is GTR bits (aftermarket) probably fit . If you and your wallet are serious about trackwork only a dog box will do .

Mines going to wear an RB71 box as I prefer less weight plus I'm kind to gearboxes and clutches , I don't drag race either . I would like to know the part no's of the RB71 (GTST) baulk rings (are 1st - 4th all the same ?) and the details of the bearing kit , though I think its only the lay shaft front bearing that is different to the earlier 71 series .

Cheers Adrian .

Mention skyline and the price is doubled, I'd rather buy a Tremec over a GTR box any day.

A dog box on the street is not practical.

No offence but how do you you plan to get 600whp to the tarmac through street legal tyres ?

The only thing that prevents me driving a dog box on the road is money . I figure if I can drive an 18spd Road Ranger dog box on the street (and I can) a small light box would be a piece of cake . Sure they clunk a bit due to the backlash but if they're designed right they go snick snick snick . Its up to the loose nut behind the wheel to get the revs and co ordination right .

it's 600hp @ the fly.

On the street be very subtle with the throttle.

On the strip, slicks with the widest combination possible.

yes I know it will have plenty of wheel spin, thats the plan :flamed:

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
