if you want 6 speed look at the options from Trust, HKS and OS giken. or if you are made of money, Hollinger 6speed sequential. better option than paying a lot of money for a second hand R34 box.

and the r34 box is a bit of a hastle to fit up.

the box is a few inches longer than the 32 box, so your rear shaft will have to be modified to fit.

and there are a few other things to look at aswell.

i was going to do this swap myself untill i found out how much it was going to cost.

first went. and 5-6 wouldnt select.

2-3-4 were still fine.

all bearings were knackered. clearly wasnt looked after in jappas.

but other than that all was fine.

i can take the gearset over to my mate who was going to do the rebuild and get a quote if u like.

but i was getting it all done for cost.

do the conversion with 34 GTR rear shaft and it will be fine

a workshop i know they done it to their "carbon R32"

Dont get me wrong, you can Definetly tell there are no syncros. You have to rev it a little to get it into 1st (otherwise you end up with a crunch)

Gear changes require a reasonalbly firm hand

You also have to rev match when down shifting, so as not to crunch.

You have to hold it in gear when reversing (otherwise it pops out)

But you just cant beat the whine of a dog box and the lightning quick gear changes.....did i mention the sound :( farken awsome!!!

I am using an OS triple at the moment

i never had trouble getting 1st..

reverse was a pain in the ass tho. kept popping out even with you holding it firm. but i have abuck wild diff also which wouldnt have helped

gotta love the whine. and also the people at the lights looking at your car thinking there is something wrong.

then you show them what a rev limit dump looks like with race tyres.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
