Hello, i have been searching for gearboxes for a while now and i cant really make up my mind.

The car will be street driven so the gearbox must have a reverse and be able to downshift by itself etc.

Seen some people using powerglide t400 / t700 and liberty gearboxes etc, but the liberty gearbox (clutchless) seem to be pain in the ass for roaduse?

anyony got any suggestions here? the gearbox must hold for atleast 1200 bhp

 

Best regards

Nice street car with 1200hp.. Powerglide or th400 are your only choices really.. Mate owns a 1000hp GTR and commented on the sequential being a little rough for a streeter. 

Really depends on the type of racing you plan on.. auto would be bit average for circuit, holinger would be ok for drags. mentioning liberty leads me to believe its a street drag car?

unsure what you mean by a little rough, although I am only around the 800whp mark, I find the holinger perfectly streetable, obviously using the clutch as cruising around for daily driving.

Wow, First you wanted an OS giken or PPG synchro gearset, and now you're talking Autos ? WTF ? That's a pretty dramatic difference between setups. If you go the auto route it is basically a "street registered" drag car. C'mon if it's got an auto in a BNR32/BCNR33/BNR34 to me it is hardly a GTR anymore.....

At least the sequential dog boxes have a certain amount of "having your cake and eating it too", as they can be streeted, can be circuited and can be drag raced all with good results. I really hate the idea of an automatic GTR.

Anyway CRD have done TH400 on GTR like JUN II with 4WD so it is possible.

I think CRD and Maatouks can both supply a TH400 and the necessary gear to install the box. 

 

the actual set up of it is the tricky bit, I would only go auto if it was going to be setup by one of the guys who have runs on the board to make it all work.

Just the usual multiplate clutch with laggy RB "roughness".. more so in comparison to an auto. Setting it up would be alittle tricky although it looks like some shops just manage to buy a combo from Als raceglides and with afew converter tweaks its running 7s/8s haha

I would suspect those guys who setup and run 7s and 8s have been playing and tweaking with converters for years. I would be cautious of thinking a newbie could replicate.

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.

      If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
