Skyline Gearbox On S15 Help

[jspec racing]

Hi Guys,

Im about to do some serious upgrades to my s15 aiming at atleast 250rwkw and i know that my 6sp box will turn to cactus as soon as this is done and im too poor to go par/dogbox and i dont want to throw away 1300 on a new clutch/fly to go on the 6sp and then get a new box anyway..

i dont really know that much about skylines but i hear that the series 2 r33 box is good for around 700hp which seems pretty much ideal. fyi the clutch im getting is made by orc

so the questions that i have are:

are there any 6sp rwd gearboxes for skylines?

r33 series 2 vs r34 neo? which one is better etc..

upon buying the gearbox what else will i require? i know ill need the housing modified and a new tailshaft

is there anything i should look out for while im doing this?

how will this impact the s15 diff?

sorry for all the questions

many thanks

no

r33 series 2 vs r34 neo? which one is better etc..

34 is reportedly better and stronger , but rarer and more expensive .

is there anything i should look out for while im doing this?

they are hard to find cheap or they are expensive when found . obviously try and get a good condition low km one

how will this impact the s15 diff?

should be fine

thanks a bunch for the info arkon

question on the 34box- how much is expensive?

and also is it just the housing and tailshaft that needs to be modified?

with the housing is that something that can only be custom made and not something that i can buyas a part?

recomended places in vic to do such things?

quick update:

buying a brand spankers r33 series 2 box for 3k

will need to get gear stick so might as well get a short shifter.

modified housing. maybe a r33s2 tailshaft or vl depending on availability and custom cross members.

can anyone in melb recommend a good place to get this done?

also as far as clutch goes. orc vs os? thoughts and opinions pls

the gtr or the gtt?

can you tell me anything else about them? like i dunno how much they can take? or maybe even where to get one?

the 350z also comes stock with a 6sp box and that also 200+kw engine...

meh this is becoming a real headache... coz i dont want to break my stock box

brand spankers as in brand new never used ? from nissian ?

and do they have anymore ?

i would just get that box or another one like it . the r33 box is a really nice gb . its an immesurable improvement on your s15 one .

[jspec racing]

as in straight from japan through justjap in sydney (yes brand new never used)

do you know much about the 350z box?

arkon, do you have msn or anything?

jspec racing hehehe

anyways..

I have a R34 GTT Gearbox, picked it up for $1500, with 17,000kms on it, i thrash the absolute crap out of my car, and this box loves it (200rwkw)

if you can afford $3,000 for a new one, get a gearset for your s15 box, would be the same price or around that and less f**king around.

just an idea

Was going to mention the Just Jap ones - SII R33 stock gearbox..

I'd say a late 98 R33 SII gearbox could be the same as the GTT manual gearbox.. but either way - any SII one should be good enough for you..

oh and also the R34 boxes are a pull type clutch, the others are push
