R33 Gtr With Hks 6 Speed Box,need Some Info.

[OMY-08S]

hey,a friend of mine has an r33 gtr,the car was raced a few months back and ran a [email protected] missing 2nd gear,the car made 360kw at all 4 wheels on 26 psi,the thing is it has a hks 6 speed gearbox and it feels very tight,just found out when giving it on the street no clutch was need to change gears,i think this is a very expensive gearbox,anyone have any idea what these boxes are worth?...any info would be great,the car is now fitted with a full cage and will be raced again to try and break into the 9 sec zone,the owner also said he is willing to sell the car in a couple of months due to having too many toys from a rx3 and a ducati,so keep your eyes open for this car,its a black r33 gtr with the plates 400R if anyone is keen,thankyou.

Brand new theyre about $12,000 from Greenline. Dont expect anyone to pay this though, as for not much more you can get a OS Giken Sequential rated to double the power.

From what I have heard they are a Hollinger built gearbox (Hollinger being in Melbourne) and are quite strong. They do require regular servicing, and if it needs a rebuild it needs to be sent back to HKS Japan, as Hollinger themselves wont touch them and HKS dont sell the parts for them. Alot of people in the UK use them, and they only seem to last about 6000 - 10000km's before needing a rebuild. Guess it comes down to how its driven though.

ok,from what i was told it is a sequential 6 speed box so im guessing 15k?....do you think anyone would pay 8k for it as the owner might sell the box on its own and throw a gtr box back into it,he is summing up his options,the asking price for the car as is will be 45k and if it runs a 9 sec pass i guess itll be a good buy,the mph is there to run those times.
