depends on how you drive??

yeah, it's not a very good question. gear strength i would say could handle 1000hp +. depends on the characteristics of the engine. if you could accelerate the gear set slowly and gradually apply load you may even get to 2000hp.

on the other hand, standard motor. 300hp. lot's of flat changes, lots of big launches throw in a few massive down changes and kaboom.

True that beer baron true that. experienced it on my own when i got the 33. you know hos things go, your 24 and buy your own 33 and get one of the worlds tuning monsters, begin doing some street racing, launch big at the traffic lights, and brake lika slipping duck with the engine and then you hear that awefull noise coming from the gearbox.

Depends on driver and clutch. I broke a gearbox with only 250rwkw in my GTR because of the stupid solid centre twin plate.

that ended the thread pretty fast

well my r has around 420 at the wheels with standard box. was running a AP triple plate but that has started to slip under load badly so im putting a os quad in. I was told the the box would be fine upto around 600 atw with the quad plate which is better on the box than a solid twin or triple

1stly, Must be something drastically wrong with your triple plate if it can't hold 400awhp

As for the box, mine went out in style, street racing, quick change into 3rd................gotta hate that noise!!

like ferni, i have a twin plate solid centre...............fixed the problem by buying a PAR gearset 1st to 4th & loaded that up.

from what i've heard std gearbox is ok if you treat it nice.................."treating it nice" & "I own a GTR" don't think should be used in the same sentence

[MattR]

Yeah not sure what is wrong, and its KW at all four wheels sorry bout leaving that out

Just remember how old some of these parts are getting now (especially 32's) as that would have an affect too along with fatigue, use and abuse, higher engine output (torque), frequency of servicing (oil changes), heat and quality of oil used.
