Hi mate I'm not sure on the exact reason behind your question but I'm told the 34 gearbox isn't all that strong???

The series 3 R33 gearbox is supposed to be the pick of the bunch for strength.

Hi Simmo;

The reason? I want to see if it's worth doing, and not just for the extra gear. Found out g'box ratios today but it appears that while R32/33 had 4.11 diffs, R34 has 3.54 which means Nissan had something else in mind for a gear ratio / engine match. I don't have my gear ratio ready reckoners handy (moving house) so I can't work out what final result I'd have using the R34 ratios. I think once I unearth them I'll do some calcs and work it out that way.

Thanks

Whilst this is true (about the different diff ratios), you must remember that the R34 version of the RB26DETT makes a lot more power than the R32/R33 version. Even though they're still rated at 206kw, it is regularly seen that dead stock R34 GTRs are spinning up in excess of 220-230kw @ all four wheels on the dynos.

Merli;

Good point. My 32 will have about 275 4wkw and hence some of the flexibility that the R34 has in that respect. I guess it would then be logical to look into changing the diff centres...oh no here we go down the black hole again...

The whole business of matching engine torque curves to gears etc is so complex I'll probably leave the whole thing alone, but I still want to explore the possibilities because it might yield some real benefits.

Sounds like something Sydneykid might be able to help with.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
