Thanks Dan - How many total K's on your Skyline?

Last year I bought a new Nismo 6speed Getrag conversion kit for my R32 (not cheap). I understand its stronger and better syncro's than my OEM 5 speed.

So it interests me to know of Getrag issues and failures. I dont hear of many failures (not due to constant abuse).

You running a twin plate Nismo clutch. I constantly hear of people not putting in the clutches cleanly causing problems too.

ATS Twin Plate Carbon, unknown km's on that, was in it when I bought it. 

Car has done just under 88ks and given it had an oil cooler and a few suspension mods, I wouldn't be surprised to find it had done some track k's before I bought it - though the general condition of the car implies if it must have done minimal work.

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. 

 

 

Interesting. 

Award Diff and Gears @ Seven Hills does all my diff and gearbox work so if they are keeping up to date with what can and can't be done for replacing parts inside the Getrag then hopefully if (when) I break my gearbox they will have a solution for fixing it... 

I am running 600awkw through mine atm with an ATS twin, it is running without an issue atm but I always plan for breaking something. Everything else in the car is pretty much bullet proof for my application so I am just worried about the factory g/b even though they are known for being one of the strongest. 

If you don't mind keeping us posted on here on your progress?

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
