Hi all,

New to the forum. quick one to say g'day before I get posting!!!!

Current setup is

Trying to get 330kw @ the wheels = 2 Blown gearbox's

welcome.

and what box are you using?

pics?

Welcome.

Assuming you have R33 turbo boxes it seems strange you are blowing them chasing 'only' 330RWKW. I say 'only' as that is still a lot of power for a street car, just no where near the limit of those boxes.

R33 gts-tt, box that just let go was a GZM built Re401a.

[luke gtr]

is that an auto?

Yes... Blown auto sitting in my driveway doing FA!

swap to manual.

or th400, or power glide.

Woops sorry, I assumed you had manual. Like Luke said swap to manual, cheaper than a built auto and more fun for a street car. Also manual is a plus if you decide to sell it in the future.

Lol, I have 2 of them one the exact same with minimal mods running manual, would be happy to make my modded one less streetable as it's not my daily and i'm sus on the 2nd gear set in the manual boxes from experience.

How strong are the manual box (clutch choice also dependant of course) and what sort of power figures have people been able to put through them?

Cheers, will do some more researching. Preference is always manual but it's still just as fun regardless what transmission is in it.

Just want some reliability without an 8k price tag.

Can pickup complete manual conversion for $1500 with good box tomorrow... But does that mean i'm going to be doing a clutch everytime I give it a bit of what for?

Here is a quote from the CT forum. There are a bunch of guys on their using the 33 boxes for drag racing.

"i have a wrecker spec box with a short shifter i only put oil in it because it was empty in the frame of mine its cheap lets break it then think about something different it did 4 years on the road running in the 11s @ 130ish mph at the track then another 2 years of drag only running 10s @ high 130mph with full slicks and 6800rpm two step launch and still all good. It has been through 2 blown clutches, 1 smashed centre bearing, 3 broken uni's, 1 pretzal tailshaft, 2 folded lower control arms and then 2 broken axles. I pulled it down thinking i should look at the damage NONE wasnt even fillings in the oil THEY ARE TUFF "

Look at getting a Jim Berry clutch if you are worried about it failing. Twin plate should be under $1500. He will talk you through it and let you know the best clutch for your application.

Well, found a full manual conversion, was about to purchase, then I've had one of the fellas on here contact me with a fresh mv built auto for a good price, so going to jump on that.
