Meggala,

Exactly what sort of box was in the GTS-T? I assume that it is the same box as the one for a GTR?

SydneyKid, have you used or driven a car with a TRUST gearbox? What exactly are the goo and bad points of the box and how much better is a Hollinger? How and why?

TIA,

Charlie.

it was a trust boox I prefer these for the street as the holinger is a sequencial. and the trust I used was h pattern

btw munro said one of the reasons the trust broke was because of his style of launch once he got that sorted there wouldnt have been that much of an issue.

there is also the peiffezer dunno how to spell it in south australia which is supposed to be good btw did you know the trust box is made by quaife in the uk

cheers

To quote the latest HPI, an article by Martin Donnon,

'It was alwayst the same story: the gers, particularly third gear, losing teeth. Coming towards the dep end of the track, Munor would punch the H-pattern shifter into third ger, and the thing would simply go 'bang'...... The problem was then narrowed down to the trust gearset simply being too small and spindly for he job at hand, a problem clearly identified when we visited Active Garage in Kyushu. These guys had a collection of Trust boxes lined up to swap when the one in the car went bang. I kid you not.'

Went on to say the answer was a Holinger E6S six speed sequential.

If anyone is interested in running a 9 sec GTR, it would be well worth the few dollars to get some back issues (if they dont have them already) - could save thousands, literally.

Footnote: hope Martin Donnon or HPI dont mind me quoting their fine publication?:D

but is munros car a street car?

nx-time said he did want a car he could drive on the street the holinger could make stuff interestig on the street also remember munros car has an os giken rb3.0 l block so masses of torque.

any way here is the trust catalog for transmission . 10 k ro so for one 18-20k for a holinger its your choice.

all of my suggestions have been because it for street use not out and out drag car.

techincally it wont be legal at all, unless u ran dedicated LPG ull never pass emmisions laws. Plus once u hit 9's u need a full cage etc etc, and i aint too sure if u can make a 9 second cage legal.

Still tho, if its gonna be a drag car, why not the auto. Not only will your times be ALOT more consistant if you ever actually do any bracket racing etc, autos are alot nicer on parts. Someone out there would have to be able to do skyline auto buildups

Thanks for the replies.

Xeron, an auto box has crossed my mind, but I don't know of an auto box that is available for the GTR.

Meggala, I have found a website or two on the TRUST box and read that it is indeed made by Quaife in the UK under licence for TRUST Japan.

Also, the price on that website is the price in Yen from Japan, so any freight costs plus taxes and duties must also be payable, so the price of the TRUST 6 speed (H pattern) will be more like 13K landed.

PS, it's not NX-TIME, it's NXTIME ie next time :P I often get asked about my non-existent Nissan NX ;)

    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
    • I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
