Here's one I prepared earlier

I think that's ferni's old gb, and if so I've got those actual bits (or what's left of them) in my garage :mad:

squizz: it's good that your not interested in getting new parts....because you can't anyway. Original design 3/4 gears and associated components for R32 GTR's are NLA from Nissan :cheers:

Hmmm,......let's work though the common causes.....

Torque, not enough to cause this sort of failure

RPM, not enough to cause this sort of failure

Traction, not enough to cause this sort of failure

Clutch, not usually associated with 3rd gear failures (that's a first gear, drive shaft and diff problem)

Lubrication, I assume it had good oil in it and it was carrying the right amount

Driver abuse, previous occurances may have caused it to chip or crack a tooth, this occasion was just the last straw

Damaged components following previous repairs. Did you have the gears checked prior to assembly? New bearings?

Faulty assembly, how was the end float? Gear mesh? Input and output shaft alignment? Cleanliness prior to final assembly? All the usual gearbox suspects.

I have yet to see one break for no reason, they handle way more power, rpm and traction than this. So whatever the cause, it has to be eliminated on the next build. Get any used components crack tested and ensure all the tolerances are within specification. That's about the best I can suggest.:rofl:

Hmmmm. Well every clutch swap (there has been four in the last 12 months) I get new fluids for the box and they have never pulled anything nasty and broken out of it as yet.

So as far as I know this is a 97000klm old unopened box with regular fluid changes.

Next weak is car repayment weak so sometime after that the box will be swapped (I hope if I haven't been devorced) and I'll have the other box taken down to see what's actually left inside it...

I think it was just too weak for my awesomeness and undeniable majesty...

As Bob said I've done two boxes now, the first was to be expected (churping all 4 wheels in 3rd at redline), the second however was a bit unexpected, again changing into 3rd but this time the input shaft let go. This second box was a series 3 R33 GTR box with the strengthened synchro's also. BTW my GTR only has around 320 or so rwhp, so it's not putting out massive power.

I just got the latest box from Sydney for $1200 2nd hand (freighted) to give you an idea on $$$'s.

Good luck with it all...

Cheers Cam

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
