Stupid farken stupid bloody getrag 6 speed gear-boxes. No bloody parts easily available. Dropped it off last night and was told "we may not be able to repair the parts so you are probably looking at 4-6 weeks for some strengthened parts out of Japan" I tell ya right now if the dumb things breaks again Im getting a Pftizner dog-ring set. Farken Farken

Ash is going to beat you for your insolence. :whip:

Hypertech only do race engines now - no more "public" customers. Just go to Ice and you wont regret it.

Spectators are free entry. FLYGTR - I might even join you on the rex day as Im thinking of joing the rex club (looking at buying a rex wagon for a daily driver!)

Great in theory but they dont come in 18's. Big fella - it depends on funds but if it was me I'd get firstly the Yokohama AVS Sport (V102's) or else the Falken ST115's.

Field - can I ask are you still using the stock injectors, fuel pump and afm when running 17psi?

Is there a website anywhere that I can see the Nismo Catalog in english - or is there a secret Nismo english website like there is for a lot of the other Japanese sites?

3rd gear syncrho went at Sandown on Sunday when I was there for a Murcott training day. Was spewin cause I was flying (ran a 1.26.7!)

Well after all the name calling Ive done I now have to eat my words and pull out from this event cause I busted my gearbox. Will still be heading down to check the event out though.

Happy B'day Max! Drink and be merry

Ok - I broke it on a track day at Sandown. Not sure if it was done going from 2nd - 3rd on the main straight or from 5th-3rd at turn one. Didnt pay attention to when it first happened as it feels the same as if you just try and change gears without pushing the clutch all the way in which we have all done - so initially I just thought thats what Id done. It was only after a lap or so that I realised it wasn't me not clutching proplerly but infact the synchro was farked. Anyways - thanks for all the help. Im not going to go back to a 5 speed. I dont really want to put a secondhand box in at as I have also found a few people with pulled apart boxes who would be willing to sell parts - but they have also turned out to have busted or already missing 3rd gear synchros! So I now have a quote to get the parts machined up by a local mod at a much better price then even a secondhand whole box - but am also getting quotes from both pfitzner and holinger on strengthend dog rings. BTW - clarkey - dont panic mate - the cost of the 33 gearbox its very very tame in comparison. (Stupid R34 GTR's)

Yeah I know I can put a 33 box in but Id rather not go to a 5 speed. But Nissan Japan did not have spares available for the 6 speed getrag box. I believe that there are some companies in Japan that have made spares for this box but I dont know who they are! So I was hoping that someone might know. Been to Ice - they are looking further as well. Spoke to Dean - doesnt have one but can get boxes for around the $4K mark. Troy (ylwgtr) has a mate with a secondhand box for sale too apparently. But Ideally I'd like to fix it - even strengthen it whilst at it cause apparently this is a common weakness.

Yesterday I managed to break my 3rd gear synchro in my R34 GTR Getrag 6 Speed. Now I know that Nissan have not provided any spares to be available with the Getrag box. But the cost of a whole new gear-box is just frightening. (Was just quoted $14,500+GST+Fitting) Does anyone know of where I could possibly source parts for these boxes? I have heard that possibly the parts are interchangable with the 6 speed made for the BMW - can anyone confirm this? I know this is the 3rd R34 with broken synchro problems (2 3rd gears and one 4th gear) that I have heard of so surely they haven't all had to replace the whole gearbox! Any help you be appreciated.

Jack - great results mate! Very happy for you and its great to finally have your car back on the road. The final dyno figure was a little lower than expected wasn't it however? You guys have to wait for my turbo to get done for the comparison day so we can add a thrid comparision considering they should all be similar in power but with different turbo set-ups. Although I broke my 3rd gear syncro today at Sandown so my turbo plans may be put on the back-burner depending on how much it costs to repair.

GTTR34 - Winton no longer falls under CAMS coverage - they are now under the AASA (same as Calder) so Im pretty sure you wont need a CAMS licence.

Soon there is going to be as many GTR owners as there is GTST owners. Ok - maybe not.

@ Blitz

Im there - Dutton on the following weekend at Winton so will need the practice!

Well I'd already banned Gerald - and I havent even seen him in a kart! Anyone else we need to put in the banned list? lol

Well my mrs is out - she has other stuff on that she forgot about. But Im still coming.

Kev mate - if you let me have a go in your kart Im there for sure. 20,000rpm sounds hella fun! BTW - is Scotty ever going to get back to me regarding Avalon?

Hawk - my wife is from Edmonton and west ed mall is the single most overated world attraction on the plannet. But Canadian chicks rock. And Doc you are there at the wrong time of the year. You want to be there around Xmas and then there are these things called mountains that are well worth the visit.

Yep - a level 2 licence (which is just a yearly fee)

Bugger all the spectators - WHERE ARE THE TESTICLES IN MELBOURNE??????
