Drag Gear Box Options R33

[Adz2332]

Hey all

I have a 33 gtst that im slowly doing up mainly for drag and straight line speed.

Im looking for gear box options. At the moment its just a standard H pattern set up.

Has a 2 speed power glide set up been tried much for skylines?

What are my other tried and tested options and at what price?

Do you specifically want an auto? Have you had any problems with the manual with the power you're running?

We have gear strengthening options for standard and aftermarket sets: We're doing complete rebuilds with genuine Nissan bearings and seals, crack test, shot peen and isotropic super-finished gears (standard gear set) for $1,570. These processes improve fatigue resistance of gears by over 30% and reduce operating temperatures in gearboxes by 5*C according to independent SAE tests.

Shoot us a pm if you're interested. Our website explains some of the technology in more detail: www.neatgearboxes.com.au

Thanks for the reply.

Im only considering going to an auto or cluchless manual for times sake

I have a r34 full manual auto built by mv autos in Adelaide for a similar purpose. It's very good

3 speed or a 2 speed... Transbrake etc... VL guys have been doing it for years. It's all Nissan, all bolts in, all same same and plenty of it to chose from

Just comes down to budget as you need to consider the following

Tyre size, diff gearing, gearbox gearing & gears, power you'll be making... More factors than just that and there is no one "single" answer which is what your first post sounds like you are after.

Go talk to a workshop with a VL/R31 that runs reliably into the 9s (or better) day in/day out and go from there IMO. There are plenty in VIC to choose from, not many in SA.

They all know how to set-up a car to do what you want. Obviously it'll be fairly useless at anything else

If you're wanting to build a drag car, may I suggest save yourself a LOT of the cost and just purchase 2RISMO's whole car?

It truly is a work of art, and worth EVERY CENT he's asking.

I've been in the car, it's quick, and will be able to run some very impressive numbers and you won't need to spend any more on it! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331072677608?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
