600+hp BNR32: Is it worth upgrading to Getrag 6-speed gearbox? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

godzirra · 28th October 2011, 01:55 AM

Hello, could you give your honest opinion whether it's worth the cost (>GBP2000) to install a Getrag 6-speed transmission into a R32 GTR tuned to 600+hp? Used mainly for road driving but with a few trackdays in view.

Thanks!

Give the guy a break Glenn. I think on this occasion he can be forgiven.

The question was not one which requires an empirical answer that could be found by searching e.g "how much does it cost to change to Getrag" or " what parts do i need??"

His question related to opinions on whether its worth it or not.

Personally i would say no. Wait and buy a sequential IMHO.

Given the road bias of the car is a sequential usable. The only sequentials I've used would be pigs on a road car and noisy. Is it possible to get a 'nice' sequential box?

nailsgtr600 · 28th October 2011, 11:33 AM

no dont bother until it breaks then upgrade to a o/s gear set, i dont think you'll brake it tho!

nick the tubman · 28th October 2011, 11:46 AM

cryo treat it mate... overall cost approx £500 will last and still a joy to use....

I think he's talking about the r34 six speed not a sequential box

RSVFOUR · 29th October 2011, 08:48 AM

Im with TT That is a sensible question

My 32 box died so I replaced it with a late double syncro box ( as on the last 33s)

I also changed the clutch to a triple plate carbon jobby at pretty much the same time.

I reckon/hope this will be sufficient

If this goes I will go the os route as suggested before.

Mine wouldnt work with a getrag anyway as as the stagea dif ratio would make first gear a total waste of time

Well, for me the answer is on a pallet waiting to be shipped. I took the Getrag out of the R34 and hope to get it to fit into the R33. The gate pattern takes a little getting used to, but otherwise no probs in traffic at all.

No need, run untill it breaks. It should handle 600hp.

godzirra · 30th October 2011, 07:14 AM

I was thinking along the lines of the Mines BNR34 ie. use the getrag 6MT with my current BNR32 diffs to get improved response.

GTaaaaaarrrrrr! · 30th October 2011, 06:35 PM

Depends what you use the car for mate. I changed the diffs on my R34 GTR when it was at TR Racing (4.11 from memory). Running with 2530 turbos and the shorter gearing it was very responsive. On the drag strip though it actually held it back as I needed 5th gear before the line. Horses for courses

Ok, My opinion is that you can go fcuk yourself....
At least my post told him to do something, your post is even less constructive and no help whatsoever....
Theres lots of threads and discussions already covering off everything you could ever need to know about the cost/ parts needed/ and how to fit the 6 speed and its advantages and disadvantages of the 6 speed

oh and yeah, all 4000 post's I have made are just telling people to search

haha ..
