r33 gtr gear box in a r33 gts-t

[jager]

is this possible?

how different are the box, i have an auto at the moment, just wondering wether it was worth getting a gtr gearbox instead of gts-t i still wanna keep it rear wheel drive just the strength, has anyone done this before?

anyone know a link??

yes i did a search couldn't find anything

R33 5 speed should be strong enough. I'm not sure its possible going the GT-R box in the GTS-t

[jager]

would the box need to changed at all or is it just a straight up bolt up

The internals of the R32/R33 GTR gearbox are basically the same as the R33 GTST gearbox. The GTR box won't work in RWD as the transfer case drive, extension housing, output shaft are all different.

We are up to 650 bhp and 3 years on a R33 GTST box, no problems. Without the loading from the extra traction and weight of the 4wd, the R33 GTST box is pretty much unbeatable for Skyline 2wd application.

Hope that clarifies

GTR box can be modified to use in a GTS but is no better, they both have weak 4th syncros etc.

twas what i thought no gtr box for me

going for the gts-t box then

So if I had a GTS25t box and a GTR box, its possible to make the GTR box into a GTS box by interchanging parts? Or are custom parts needed, Steve-SST?

ah this all seems very de ja vu. Dont even worry about puting the gtr box on for rwd applications i have looked into this and that cheeper gtr box sounds great but the mods you will have to do will cost more than just bolting on the gts-t box, and you havent even got the gtr box in the car yet. listen to sydneykid he knows all about this stuff and saved me lots of $$$$

[the phantom]

yeah fair enough, but when you already have various boxes lying around is it still a worthwhile proposition to convert boxes from 4WD to RWD? Do you need customisations or just component swaps?

jager,

check your pm

[xr8eater]

i think it's probably not worthwhile since the transfer case would have to have had alot of work done to it or chop it off..... headache to the max! you can get a brand new gts-t box for a little over $2000 at just jap its the way i am going and yes i will document and take pics of the converson

[RNS11Z]

a friend did this not long ago. Total cost was $850. Buying gtr33 box, modifying to fit vl to suit rwd application. $850 is better for me then the 1400 people ask for gtst boxs

[xr8eater]

do you know what sort of power out put he got or was it all spining off in the transfer case

If you want to fit a GTR engine and box with front hubs/shafts into a GTST the fire wall needs to be modded, Awesome Automotive are doing one now. Cheap to =)
