R32/r33 Gtr Gearbox Synchro Compatability

[bennyb]

Hello all,

I have an R32 GTR and 3rd and 4th Gearbox Synchro's need replacing.

Does anyone know whether the improved R33 GTR Gearbox Synchro's are compatable with the R32 GTR Gearbox?

Any help would be much apprecated,

Cheers,

BB

No they're not, from about 1996 at least from memory. The design was totally changed and that includes the gears themselves, not just the synchros. To put them in requires changing a bunch of associated parts, which amounts to many $$$

I'm speaking from experience here, having actually done it, although I was able to save some money by using the remains of a broken r33 gearbox.

To make things worse, a lot of the original R32 GTR gearbox parts are NLA from Nissan.
