Hi all, i have found two r34 gtr getrag gearboxes in japan one with 2000kms and the other with 5000kms. pricing looks mighty tempting. I was however wondering about the complexity of the conversion. I know it can be done as the guy at the Nissan dealer had done it to his. but my lack of japanese skills couldnt get much more info than that. what would need to be done? would it be hard to mate up? what other bits and pieces would i need? would the conversion be benificial? if so, in what areas (top speed? acceleration?) how strong is this gearbox compared to the bnr32 gearbox (1993 onwards with pull type clutch found in the bcnr33)? what would a box like this be worth in oz and what would this conversion cost? sorry for the MOUNTAIN of questions, but id really like to know! any help would be greatly appreciated!

cheers

hmmm... but mongi, its the r34 box that wears the famous "GETRAG" letters. neither the 32 or 33 box do. can anyone tell me more about getrag gearboxes in general? i know the supras have them.

really!? well thats new to me. so that would mean that my 32 gearbox (93 onwards pull type clutch) would be getrag too? ive heard that the pre 93 gearboxes with the push type clutch is supposed to be almost unbreakable. the 33 gearbox (including mine) apparently have a weak third cog. once again, what are the benefits of this upgrade/downgrade?

simmo, yes they are. trust make two types the H pattern shifter, and a full sequential version. these retail for 728k yen and 1.32mill yen respectively.

sequential type

1st 2.796

2nd 1.994

3rd 1.537

4th 1.191

5th 0.198

6th 0.767

final 4.111

H pattern (helical gear)

1st 2.782

2nd 1.938

3rd 1.506

4th 1.178

5th 0.920

6th 0.777

final 4.111

im sure os make a 6 speed gear set as well. HKS have 2 versions of the 6 speed. if anyone wants the numbers (they dont mean much to me) i'll put them up.

nismofans if you are really interested, pm me and i will see what i can do.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
