hey guys, a silly question but need help. Thinkin of going a 3L bottom end and have a spare r33 gts4 gearbox. Form what i can gather they are the same strenght as a GTR box but different ratio. Now my question is, can i use it on a RB30 and what tailshaft/diff would i need ? Or just stick with the normal gtst box ?

Any help is appreciated

What car? I'm assuming is a RWD platform as you talk about re-using your gtst gearbox...

If it's an R32 GTSt, I killed my stock box very quickly after chucking the 3L in.

If it's an R33 GTSt, then your box is already as strong as a GTR box as they are pretty much the same internals (I upgraded to an RB25DET box, including the box and custom tailshaft good for 800Nm, and some other bits like slave cylinders, pivot ball etc, cost me nearly $2.5k and I did the work myself).

Using a 4WD gearbox in a RWD application requires some cutting and shutting.. easier to use an R33 RB25DET box.

the trouble there is r33 gts4's are pretty rare, and the demand for that gbox wouldn't be strong. even gtr boxes are cheap as chips so i wouldnt expect much for that one. it probably isn't expensive to have the transfer case removed and sealed off so i'd seriously look at that, given that its got the same internals as the 2wd turbo box anyway so you'd have a good gearbox for little expense.

I have a stock R33 gtst gear box, Will strip it out for the right price. pm me if your intrested mate-

No one has ever confirmed the stenght of internals - Im planning to run 300+ kw through mine- Been N/A up untill now.

A few people on here have put plenty of poke through them with no worries, depends how you treat it though- 8k dumps and smashing gears isent goign to be good for any stock box.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
