What’s the labour like on it? And how much better is it than the stock one? Guessing a lot stronger. I would be shipping from Japan to Hong Kong so not that bad…

I see on rhdjapan they are under 1500 usd but is that a complete replacement for my transmission? Or just the case? the r34 getrag transmission swap is like 15k usd lol.

That can’t be for the whole transmission can it? New?

I was actually just planning on replacing the fourth gear parts in the gear box that I broke … like the synchro hub or cone. And any other parts I need once I open up the transmission. That a bad idea? The rest of the gears feel tight. these parts shouldn’t be too much … just the labour here won’t be cheap. Just replacing these in HK would be around 2k aud including labour. how much is a new r33 or r32 transmission? thanks for the good info as usual

Hi all, suspect this is a common problem. I think I missed 4th gear a bit when I shifted down from 5th. Now it grinds into 4th with the downshift. Is it the sychro and what do I need to replace when I open the gear box up? added a photo of my new titanium intake I just installed and built. 👍💪

Yes I think we changed out the transmission fluid as I had a leak last year so we changed out the seals also. Need to check. I should have said just change from 5th to 4th gear … down shift. There’s a grind. I have a new clutch X clutch … but as I said all the changes in other gears are fine.

Anyone else have a grinding issue changing from 5th to 4th gear. I have no issues 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th. But the car seems to grind a little when I do 5th to 4th … is this a common issue? Had it from the last owner. Bit annoying as I can’t hard shift down. Feels like I have to push a little to the left to get it smoother into gear. thanks

Thanks for the info… guessing less rewarding for my hks ss turbo setup. Might just be more beneficial for a single turbo. I’m just concerned it will hurt my engine long run which would be very expensive.

Hahah yeah but a man got to do what a man wants to do. Won’t be using it infront of the 5O anyway. My car is illegal as is with the mods.

Just curious anyone running anti lag tune on a bi turbo setup… guessing the benefits aren’t too rewarding … to be honest I do the like the shooting flames on revving though … I know it might not be good for the longevity but i do think I would enjoy the flame shooting in front of crowds. Take it however u would like, 😭

Great info as usual. Thanks … im already running a hks oil cooler. I will check my coolant mixture - that’s interesting. I guess if the problem persists the next stage is to run datalogging but I will need to do this when the temperatures are crazy hot. Hong Kong is going thru a heat wave right now.

Yes still have that .. what to keep the stock parts and plastic bits relatively stock looking as I started off with a pristine vspec specimen. Will resell her in a couple years. Is this stroud restrictive?

Yes if u mean by the plastic section behind the radiator?

This is the issue as the stock gauge I have heard won’t really read correctly and if it moves up it’s already too late. Mine moved up a little - I would say just past middle. Hence my motor wasn’t cutting off below 6500 max boost, I think if the temp was really high it wouldn’t go pass 3000 … that’s why I wanted to run a separate more efficient water guage and sensor to check readings closer - if anyone else is running them? And add a boost gauge while I’m at it.
