Gearbox rebuild/upgrade Getrag v160/233

So just got my R34 GTR after compliancing etc, and it sounds like it needs a new input shaft bearing! Not confirmed of course, but this is my (unqualified) diagnosis after some internet searching.

I want to get rid of the noise at idle/low rpm, so I'm going to get the box taken out and looked at, and hopefully fixed. I do understand that sometimes they can be noisy, but I think this noise is beyond normal.

However, I figure if i'm paying for labour to take the box out and open it up, I might aswell look to rebuild it? Car has 170k kms on it, so probably needs it now, or soon, anyhow.

The question I have though, is there, or has anyone done, an internal upgrade to the 6-speed box in the R34 GTR? I know that most people go to the sequential for a gearbox upgrade, but I like the H pattern, and wondered if anyone did a kit that uprated the internals of the getrag 6 speed?

Cheers

Nah, I think taking the box to neat and getting them to do their shot peening is probably what I will go with.

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
