Please don't flame me im just a nub! :) Lol, But i was wondering if theres such a thing.. Im told there is.. But ive searched and haven't really found much on the subject. My gearbox is abit grindy as it goes in to third every now and again and i have tried Redline oil etc.. But im just wondering ( cause it come on after a day of hard driving ) Would i have done something to the gearbox? ( A mate suggested the sin chrome but then he said that doesn't just come on it progress's.. So would this be the start? ) If so why would the gearbox start to die under only 184rwkw.. I haven't grinded the gears or anything, But just now its starting to have a slight grind in to 3rd once every 10 changes.. But morel of the story is.. Does anyone know much about a dog box for a R33? And/Or a rough price? Cause im looking at putting alot more power in it once i have the money, So i would like to start with a strong base. Even though i was told Rb25 Drive line and engines are almost indestructible.

the previous owner of the car before you could have thrashed the hell out of it, but then u'v babied it but the box is still on its way out.

bigger clutch will put a little more strain on the box (aswell as other things)

does it grind when upshifting or downshifting? (2nd to 3rd, or 4th to 3rd)

To R33cruiser : I have only had the car for about 2 months.. and since then i only changed it last week to put the redline in it, But the oil was still really golden.

To hayden49 : If thats the case i don't mind, I have a 2way that grinds when its cold.. But im told thats normal for them.. And i mean if its a normal thing i don't care.. its just when its a bad thing then thats when i start to get worried about something going on me lol.

To StRyDeR: And no it seems to only been shifting up in to 3rd.. I mean with second and 4th its a little bit notchy and thats about it.

I wouldn't personally worry too much with a dog box unless you're chasing power of well over 350-400rwkw and will give the car a punishing on a regular basis... Pretty expensive for those type of gearsets. Stick with the 25 gearbox. supposed to be strong as.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
