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

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

      Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list

      Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain

      What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
