What Model Gtr Is This Out Of

[drf76]

hey guys

im having issues finding 3rd 4th synchros for my gtr gearbox, it originally came out of a r32 gtr 93 model(not sure if original box), nissan cant get me the right sychro's. they think it maybe out of a 97 model r33 gtr. supposedly all trans upto that date run a different synchro(3rd/4thgear) hub including rb25

i have searched through google etc and all i can find is pics of a different synchro hub.not what i have. here is what i have. its the 3rd gear by that way

the baulk ring inserts are also obviously different, they are a solid peice of machined metal like ur 1st 2nd synchro hub not thin sheet metal type like all rb25 boxes have and most rb26 boxes...

strange response from nissan - they superseeded the old synchro (32 to series 2 33) design years ago and only the new (series 3 33) is available.

i have just realised that...i found it on some old gtr uk site...

its so strange that i have actually received the baulk rings from nissan if they are discontinued. lol at least rb25 boxes can get rebuilt. maybe its the hub that is discontinued. Anyway i will tell them tomorrow...so its really they're mistake as they want to charge me for ordering the wrong parts!!

thanks duncan for clearing it up aswell.

now ill pick ur brain

spare parts told me that the 97 model also changes the hubs between 10/97 and 12/97.

you've got me there.....if you have 2 vin#s I could confirm.

bit surprised there is a change but nissan has introduced next series changes late in the last series before.

hub change or not afaik all 32-34 gtr use the same bearings

[drf76]

do you work at nissan or something? you seem to know alot... anyway thanks again mate.
