R33 6 Speed

[Nathyns r33 gts]

hey guys this is my first post and i have a few plans,

i want to put a 6 speed gearbox in my gts and need to find one that wont be a pain in the ass with the size and/or fitting

i understand ill need to get an adapter plate made up and tailshaft and info on what gearbox to use and general help would be great thanks,

V161 from a Z33 350Z would be the easiest

they sound pricey man any ideas on the price?

Dude i think you will probably find its more bother than its worth.. in my experience these sorts of things tend to turn out costing more than the car itself. Is there a specific reason you wanted to go 6 speed?

SIf your worried about the price of the gearbox then you shouldn't even think about it.

i would like to have a 6 speed thats all aye,

im half way through my rb 30/25 engine build and i thought it would be nice to have 1,i need a turbo box anyway.

im not worried about the cost i just thought a z33 350z box was a bit overkill, when all i need is something like a s13 or s15 6 speed

Why bother?

Why bother?

its just a thought i had in mind i was asking for your information on the subject.

Well only the S15 had the 6 speed, and they are weaker than the 5 speed SR/RB20 boxes

and i was thinking twin high flowed rb26 turbo setup

550 cc injectors, tomie poncams, cam gears,

anyone think of anything to build an awesome engine

Im building an rb30/25 (about 40 percent done, engine runs pretty good but gutless still stock n/a ,atm, now its time for the mods.

what mods have you done to your gts-t, thanks

what about a r34 gtr box with the transfer box removed (if it's possible) or just with the front drive shaft removed

Same as the 350Z box but with a different Bell housing, so same deal really, eeither cut the transfer case off the GTR box or make a bell housing adapter for the 350Z box...which I belive Mark @ Hills motorsport in Castle Hill were developing a kit do do exactly that.

one word fellas

TREMEC...

make it happen..

what mods have you done to your gts-t, thanks

Im only starting brother, its pretty stock at the moment- turbo back zorst, coil overs, intake, R34smic and a slight boost increase. I plan on a hiflow turbo, upgraded injectors and front mount soon. I will be happy with around 250rwkw.

Your 25/30 build sounds f**king promising though! I think the whole idea of the 6 speed is great in theory, but probably way too costly to make it worth it. Definitely worth looking around at it though and getting some prices, i always wish my liner had an extra gear on the highway.

thanks man, down the line when im finished the engine ill probably go all out with the 6 speed gearbox,

but atm ,

im up to getting the mods (in progress) and fitting them, tuning it, work out all the kinks, lay down some 1/4 mile times, hopefully some track runs

and then worry about cruising down the highway in six ,haha, would be sweet though.

cheers.
