i know how you feel in part snowman. I bought a car in Japan mid June, hopefully getting off the docks Mon/Tuesday, then compliancing and it's a test car so gotta wait for DOTASSHOLES to come and look at it (hopefully early September) - Started looking for a car beginning of April ;)

best of luck for the Dutton Rally, will it be on any motorsport shows, free-to-air or cable? I saw R32 GTR's racing on some motorsport show on Foxtel, killing everyone of course :)

cheers.

I have just started looking through the japanese yahoo auctions and noticed at least 3 or 4 second hand R34 6- speed getrag boxes going around the $1500-$2000 bracket and one brand new getrag around the $4500 mark shouldn't cost much more than $7 - 800 to get back here just a option if you do another one.

pfitzner do, so do hollinger and so do PAR engineering - but only for the 5 speed box in the 32/33 - not for the 6 speed getrag in the 34.

Out of interest, are the rebuild kits for the standard synchro setup, or are you talking about part/full dog setups?

shit and here i was thinking that i fooked up the gearbox job :P

Heh, sorry for digging up an old thread. One of my R32 GT-R's synchros might be on the way out (that, or the leak on to the clutch wasn't fixed), so was just digging around for info on options. Seems like its a choice between a dog box (too pricey, not very streetable) or getting a Nissan syncrho + bearing kit. Shame there is no middle ground (ie. aftermarket synchro option). There's something for you if you want a challenge Troy :(

r33 series 3 synchros?

r33 series 3 synchros?

Is there actually any proof of the series three boxes being markedly* better? I mean, we've all heard they are better, but is there actually anything to back that up? :P

* Just to be clear, I mean that they are significantly better, not just the odd nip and tuck.

After going through the exepnsive habbit of busting 2 sets of synchro's in the 1st 6 months I discovered the best thing you can do with your gearbox is learn to drive it propperly.

;)

Mind you - Troy did a masterful repair job the 2nd time around which has no doubt helped. But 12 months down the track and the gearbox still feels super (touch wood touch wood touch wood!)

you can do a double synchro conversion....i posted pics on it somewhere....theres a bloke in japan that makes the rings

Any idea on the cost (I would call the number, but I don't have a Japanese-speaker handy ;))? I found the thread, but the pictures are dead post forum changeover: you don't still happen to have them lying around do you?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
