So, who wants to donate a gearbox...

[Squizz]

Because you all love me so so much, who would like the honour of providing my with a gearbox.

Doesn't have to be a whole gearbox, I'd be happy with just third gear. You can even have a piece of my third gear as a souvenir when I finish getting all the bits out.

Ok seriously, should I go another 'box or just rebuild this one?

From what I can tell it's just third as every other gear engages but you can put it in third with the clutch out and engine running and nothing happens.

For future reference, when you change gear and the box let's go... it's loud.:kick:

where does score stand now?

gearbox 3? vs clutch 1

[Squizz]

I have destroyed 3 clutches and 1 gearbox.

I have destroyed 3 clutches and 1 gearbox

You're not trying hard enough!

[Squizz]

That's in one vehicle and in less than 12 months.

Anyone know if third gear from any other g'box is compatible???

[ookami]

damn ... what clutch have you got? How harsh are you on your gearbox ...

[Squizz]

Nismo G-Max III, solid centre triple plate.

No, it was not a hard change that blew the box by any means.

[japtaxi]

gearsets from rb25det gearbox can be used to rebuild, different gear ratio I think, have you rang the dodgy shoppe?

[Squizz]

Quicker gearing or taller?

[ookami]

damn that clutch must be harsh.

[666DAN]

If it's any help from what I've seen the R33, R34 GT-T box and the GTR have the same 3rd ratio 1.302

[Squizz]

Cool, so who's got a blown gearbox that still has 3rd :headspin:

[predator]

didn't anybody tell you triple's destroy gearboxes ?

Anyhow, just get a gearbox out of a 33 GTR, they are stronger anyhow.. and cheap - cheaper than the GTS-T boxes often.

OS giken gearset.. you know you are rich..

[Squizz]

Are they "cheap as free"?

[predator]

they are "free", as in for a free exchange of money you can purchase one..

you could always be tight and get a GTS4 gearbox from somewhere, or just scavenge the parts from one.

[Squizz]

When would you expect me NOT to be tight? I don't have "pov-spec" 32 for nothing you know...

[Sydneykid]

Taking the the teeth off 3rd usually comes down to torque, it just rips the teeth right off. Although you can get a chipped tooth multiplier, if you have a synchro problem. How much power are we talking here? And what sort of tyres?

[666DAN]

"pov-spec" is such a nasty label....it's "prudent-spec"

SK I don't think it's ballistic amounts of power ~210 AWKW...Jay flame me if I'm wrong

[Squizz]

Near new 245x45x17 Bridgestones on the front and Nankang NS-1 245X45x17 that were less than 48 hours old fitted to the back.

Car is making approx 210kw at all four (208.3 if we want to get picky) and I had not flat shifted or gone to redline when it died. I selected third, it slotted in, the clutch was released then, bang.

I started the car yesterday to show someone the noise and it had stopped so I'm guessing all the bits have settled in the bottom of the box somewhere.

[ookami]

i reckon its the clutch, thats killed it and possibly some harsh changes from previous occasions in its life.
