I don't think gearbox is a major issue with skylines+POWA! unless you are really unlucky and its been crunched in the past and the synchros are on the way out. First this is decide what you want the car for street, track or a bit of both. The easiest way to make your Skyline smile a bit wider is a high flow turbo, increased boost to a respectable level and maybe some extra performance bits like upgrading the fuel system and computer. With the track in mind definately look into mild setups in the areas of suspension, wheels+tyres and brakes unless you plan on heavy track usage.

Over 400 & no dramas :D Read an artice in ASM a while ago about an s14 with about 480rwhp, went through 3 or 4 s15 boxes before putting one in from a 33 & problem solved.

the majority of high hp silvias ive seen have s13 5 speeds and no worries

in regards to teh r33 box you should have no worries

its not till you start going really serious like 60o-700rwkw when you might wanna consider maybe a OS Giken CrossMission gearset or even a 6 speed holinger, but ur looking at around $50k plus for a holinger.....

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
