Drivetrain And Transmission Breakages

[Josh_r32]

I had a look and there is a sticky where you can report your engine failures in another thread, and you can put up what you broke, what turbo you were running when you broke it, what oil you were using etc.

I’m interested if people could post up their transmission breakages and what power they were running, and what they were doing when they broke it (8k launches etc).

As i have a 21 year old GTR, I’m not sure how much the transmissions can take i.e. 4k launches etc.

Before i get flamed for not searching, i have searched and haven’t really found what I’m looking for

Cheers

this was in january before the car came off the road and started being built into a serious race car.

car: 33gtst

mods: 3inch open pipe from turbo. 14 psi. Piggyback ecu. Fmic. Fuel pump. Short shift. Lock diff. Lightweight race rims. Suspension. Removal 150kg worth of factory crap and interiors etc

Power: 220 kw

what you broke: 3rd and 4th plus diff failure

how you did it: at symons plains raceway. Short shift made mince meat of 3rd and 4th syncros so smashing it into those gears resuslted in them soon failing lol. And it wouldnt be a good day out if a crown wheel bolt didnt mysteriously come loose and exit the half inch cast steel housing like a bullet leaving a hole half the size of a closed fist in the housing and demolishing everything it came into contact with inside the closed unit.

Type of Car: 32 gtr

Modifications: nothing worth mentioning (n1 spec)

Power: ~250kw

What you broke: chain in the transfer case

How you broke it: well...never got it checked properly. it had just been rebuilt so i guess a mistake was made. Interestingly it ended up stuck in 3rd because the chain whipping around in the xfer cas bent the support around the shifter linkage and would not allow me to change gears. I thought it was a busted garbox for that reason

bet no-one else has managed that lol
