Getrag Parts Discontinued?

Getrag Parts Discontinued?

I'm being told certain parts for the Getrag are now discontinued? 

Specifically, award are telling me they cannot get a 3rd gear synchro and 3rd/4th selector hub. 

Anyone got a lead on these parts or at least the part numbers?

send them an email

I'm sure Award tried that, but it can't hurt. 

They say they've tried everything and suggested just putting a 5spd in it lol

These guys do rebuild kits for R34:

http://www.ag-y.com/

Auto Gallery Yokohama gearsets (rebuilt boxes).

 

yes there are upgraded synchro boxes available. I have one in my 32. made by auto gallery yokohama (Koizumi)

it's a good box. i've used it for about 5 years with no drama.

you can do a mix of the OS box and AGY bits.

DJR81, they have their own double cone synchros. they also do various different close ratio gear sets too just like OS Giken.

they do a nice transfer case overhaul too.

ratio choice:

version 1

１= ２,６１１　　　　　　　
２=１,７３３　　　　　　　　　
３=１,２８９　　　　　　　　　
４=１,０００　　　　　　　　
５ =０,７５２　　　　　　　　

OR (standard ratios I think?):

１　３,２１４　
２　１,９２5
３　１,３０２　
４　１,０００
5　０,７５２　

They have some optional 5th gear choices too:


5 ０，８４２
5 ０，８２６
5 ０，８００

version 2 close ratio box is:

１　１,９０３
２　１,４７６
３　１,１８６
４　１,０００
５ choice of the 3 above.

I can't read that site to know what is what 0_0

Would be nice not to have to buy an entire box.

Be worth checking out what the guys in the US use for their supra boxes.  Just an idea, i haven't investigated.

Jacks transmissions brought out all of toyotas stock that was available for the v171 transmission as they are discontinued. So they may have done the same for the nissans

[No Crust Racing]

Good to know. 

 

[No Crust Racing]

I've been told by someone they had their 3rd gear synchro replaced with a Holden item, I'm trying to find out what it was and will report back. 

[No Crust Racing]

Has anyone tried these?

They look very similar to tremec items. They work really well

[No Crust Racing]

So I found a place in the Netherlands with new old stock of Toyota V160 parts, same thing different packet. 

I was willing to buy all 3 hub and sleeve assemblies but he will not sell those without selling a full synchro kit, and I mean full synchro kit not just liners etc. 

He's charging a premium naturally (circa 3k delivered) so I'm going to sit on it and wait til Jacks completes their revised 3-4 assembly and buy all my bits through them at more reasonable prices (under 2k and improved/revised hub/sleeve combo and carbon liners for 1-4.

Hi Dan, how did you go with this? Did jacks end up getting back to you? 

Also any particular reason why you are changing the selector hub aswell? 

Thank you,

only thing needed to do conversion into 32/33 GTR is a tail shaft

They are expecting finished 3/4 hubs hopefully this month.

Award said if it ever pops out of gear thats the selector and I thought if already paying for labour to remove is might as well just do all synchros and hub/sleeves and be done with it.

That said, new fluid and Nismo trans mount has made a solkd difference so this will be on the back burner while I finish other bits I wanted first (cams and springs mainly).

PM me details, last one I saw was drug money and I see no reason for that when a rebuild isn't "that" expensive, but can't hurt to talk

Could be handy to do a swap, then build the other one the side though.

Did you hear anything about these Dan? They sound too good to be true... 

[No Crust Racing]

Awaiting confirmation that they've finished the 3rd/4th hub and sleeve. 

All reviews of the business, the product, and the service looked good. 

[Sinista32]

Dan, I'm interested in what sort of abuse, if any, you put your Getrag through for the 3rd syncro 3/4 selector hub needing replacing?

Normal wear/tear or

Bcos race car ?

Update

[No Crust Racing]

No idea, I've done 1000ks in the car in 18mths. 

I just noticed that on a few WOT changes between 2nd and 3rd that 3rd was hard to engage and on a couple of occasions it popped out of gear. 

Award told me it will need Synchros and a 3-4 hub and sleeve to remedy those issues and also to try a better trans mount and fluid (which helped). 

I'm also known for being a bit picky with that sort of stuff so by other peoples standards it might be "fine".

The clutch could also be a component of the engagement issue as heat seems to be a factor.
