Hope one of you guys can help me out with this,

I've just been offered a Gearbox from a 96 GTR with 14k on the clock, the car was immaculate and the owner loaned it to his son who proceeded to drive it into a gutter and managed to write it off. Anyhow, they want $1000 for it, all I could do was run it through the gate but it feels OK and the ks are low.

Anyone know what to expect to pay for a low k 33 GTR box?

Thanks

I'd second that. Grab it.

Look for fluid around the tranfer case to the front diff (can show it has had a hard time) and lift the back plate from the top of the box. Will give you a look at the back end where all the broken bits will go. Also look for any corrosion on the bearing here.

Mick.

Thanks for the opinions guys,

Spoke to the wreckers today and got the real story.

Apparently, this guy was searching for months in order to find a mint R33 GTR (Bit of a car collector), the purpose was for investment so he didn't bother with compliance, rego or insurance as it would sit in his garage and not be used.

So whilst interstate for work, his recently dissowned son decided he'd go for a fang in daddy's godzilla. Well, you know the rest, I cried and cried. Well I felt a little sad.

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
