If all you do is hardpark, you probably wont break them. If you run them hard, they break. If you don't break them, you are the exception, not the rule. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why there are so many tranmission upgrades for GT-R's. They break when you drive them hard. When you hardpark, not so much.

I have built for myself and customers multiple R32 and R33 Gtr skylines, running stock 5 speeds well in excess of 900awhp and 9 second passes and have also built several R34 skyline GTR's with the Getrag running over 1100awhp for several years, with no problem, whatsoever!<br />R34 Synchros are far more durable then that of the r32/33 gear boxes and yes the Series 3 {97/98} R33 Skyline boxes will see over 900awhp as well and happily live with, serviced well and driven CORRECTLY. <br />you don't need to slam gears to make quick shifts, which seems to be pretty evident if you breaking stock boxes, let alone PPG boxes.....<br />something to seriously consider is researching a topic of others experiences before shit canning the boxes, like you inherently have done.<br />AWD systems aren't "hard, hard, hard' on the drive line at all, poor driver ability is!<br />if it where, then we would see far MORE box breakages in the industry then what we do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-56451322873272320182016-04-08T11:03:02.558-07:002016-04-08T11:03:02.558-07:00You want to put a Getrag V160 in it?

The hardest part is getting the matching sets of parts so that you have enough free play, with actuation distance. That all has to do with which flywheel, and clutch cover you are using. Its a bit of a puzzle. Anyone with experience can do it. Its why its easiest to stick to known combinations that work, unless you can figure those things out based on peoples past experience, or though some math and measuring.

I've...Hello, and sorry to bother you with this. I've loved the R32 since i was a child, and this past october I was able to import one (HCR32). It has a stage 3 competition clutch in it, but I wanted to upgrade the transmission because A) it's starting to have issues, and B) im pumping more horsepower into it (550) and im pretty sure im going to tear it up. I saw in your blog the OS Giken and wanted to know if you have any insight into attaching the current clutch to a RWD R34 transmission. I wanted the 6-speed as well as the durability of those transmissions. Outside of aggressive shifting on the street, I dont take it to the track.. it's kinda my baby, and im just making it pristine and picking up that S16 when it comes out. Any help in combining the clutch to transmission would be helpful, or if there is already something that is optimized to drop in that would work for me would be really appreciated. Thanks again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02456936442136955379noreply@blogger.com
