Heres what happens when you lose 3rd gear

[R32 Combat]

Oops....

thats same dilemma as i have, what gearbox next.

with me - if I want to up the boost I need to upgrade the gearbox...

the OSG cog kit is £1000 to £1500 depending on options, plus fitting, or you got a fitted 6speed getrag for £3500 [about the same price as the OSG cog kit fitted]

The only alternative i can find, is to spend 7-10k on an OSG sequential, or better, a Hollinger.

The autogallery yokohama will probably be like the OSG cog set for the nissan box, in terms of strength, and the greddy/quaife gearbox breaks alot on drag racing from what info I have found on the net.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the middle, 4-6k bracket, which is still 'silly money' IMO.

I dont think anyone has tried OSG gear set cryo treated yet [as in the pulsar gearbox example]. I may look at that option.......

[Madden]

I'm so stuck on options now. No money and no car. The car was going so well today that i want to fix it and have ago again tomorrow. The power increase from the mapping and boost hike didn't really help but it was fun

[Snowfiend]

Bugger ! Sorry to hear that Jamie...

Start saving for that OS88 I guess...I know I want one now...going to rob a bank I think

[Cliff J]

Jamie, unlucky mate I can`t believe it went again, and so soon!!!

You should`ve said you were going to USC, I`d have come with you. I would`ve beaten you too!!! ...... ........

isn't there a budget way to go Getrag? Like pick up a used Supra Getrag, and then add the transfer box? Or are the bell housings different?

[kismetcapitan]

£2700 for a new R34 getrag shipped. I don't know though if an R32 transfer box can be fitted to it. Labor can't be that much for a tranny swap, for you could get a bunch of mates to help you out with the lifting...ah, oilpan mod needed? I gotta look up the details on the R34 swap.

[Madden]

I did have a look into getting the Getrag when matt had that one for sale on here with dodgy sycnro's.. It's not much work to install them either. You need to get the front prop, front section of rear prop, drills 2 holes in the crossmeber to align the mount.

I have heard of problems with clutch selection. i.e clutch systems being too tall and fouling on the bell housing?

It will add up to a fair bit if i went to getrag and then i might have to replace my brand new clutch which cost me a fortune

You also need a 34 clutch/flywheel and a 34 transfer box.

You can replace the rear prop with a lightweight single piece like I have.

[Madden]

So you do have to change the clutch and flywheel then. I wont be taking this route then as i have only just brought my os giken R3C clutch that cost me loads..

Are the getrags really that strong? Has anyone used them hard in drag racing or track racing?

[moleman]

I've been using mine for two years with no problem. My car is 500+ and used pretty hard on track on a regular basis.

Had a selector fork problem recently, but that's hardly the sort of prob you're worried about.

[Madden]

They do sound good but what it the conversion price? £4000 +?

[scby rex]

got to love redline shock proof, sticks to everything.

Yea espically my patio

So still drove the car home from the pod with no third and it will be coming out again next week

Here is a vid of me smashing 3rd gear to bits

an OS Giken 1234 we had managed plenty of action in the Lemon and Micks Gold R32, then into the whistely job and finally the Taisan it must have done 30,000 miles and bloody hundreds of drag launches.

The Taisan now has a OS Giken 12345 kit in there and it is spot on. I can deffo recommend the OS Giken kit mate and if you are Drag racing a lot with around 600 bhp it will out last a standard box for sure.
