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.

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

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.

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion

      So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for

      I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
