Nothing comes to mind. You won't be having gearbox problems unless you buy a screwed one or you're pushing 300+rwkw of power and being nasty to the box.

The one weakness I know of with R33's is the standard turbo. Mine blew. I got a bigger one. Problem solved

Overall, a good condition R33 won't give you problems.

r33/r34 manual geabox is extremely strong , it will take masive amounts of punishment unlike the rex . AFAIK its essentially the GTR box minus the 4wd transfer case .

r33 have ceramic turbine wheels which are prone to braking IF overboosted , replace with a different turbo or hiflow steel wheeled stock turbo if you want to run high boost

apart from that look for the usual turbo engine problems , lack of fresh oil - japanese are notorious for not servicing properly , detonation from to much boost/poor tuning/poor fuel

autos suck

power eventually kills them unless you spend money on stengthening them and they limit the amount of mods you can do as aftermarket computers dont work with them properly

but they are cheap to replace
