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:

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..

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?

:D

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.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
