Hey guys.

As far as im aware, the R33 GTS-T box is essentially the same as the GTR box. Now an R32 GTS-4 gearbox will shit itself with the planned power output, and R33 GTS-T boxes seem to be relativley cheap.

Am I able to mate up an R33 GTS-T gearbox with an R32 GTS4 transfer case, to give me a poverty pack GTR box that will handle approx 320rwkw?

Eventually (long time from now) I hope to be making enough power to destroy GTR boxes as well. Are there any other options other than a replacement gearset for under 10,000 ?

Thanks.

Don't think so, but have been known to be wrong before.

Check out latest edition of HPI (GT-R Special #4), and issue #36 - there's stuff in there about a dog-box from Adealide, rated for '800ps +'; will set you back around 9 big ones.

you cannot bolt a gtr transfere case to a gtst gearbox having seen both boxes apart on a bench the cases look similar but there is alot of other differences.. the gear stacks are not interchangable ad the gears i believe are even a slightly different ratio anyway... the gtr box with transfere cas is also alot longer and is not a spline and yoke set up!!! you cant say one gearbox will handle x another will handle y it goes on other factors..yes people have had certain gearboxes do cetain outputs but you might try and the whole thing goes up!!!! also a standard gearbox in average condition starts to struggle at the levels you mentioned id be scared with a bitsa doin it.... yes there are exceptions some standard boxes handle 400kw+ at the wheels but talk to the owners they know they are on borrowed time and baby the thing...this is for r32's especially!!!

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
