GTR R34 transmission question

[Sri-LanKING]

Is this the same as this?. If they are the 2nd one is a great deal right? thanks for the help!
Oh yeah, and is it worth it to convert the transmission from an r32 to an r34 transmission?

[cschepp]

It is definitely not the same. The nismo one will be drop and go no modifying and your done. The one you were looking at will need the following:

-modified prop shaft ( half 32 welded and balanced to a 34)(32 front,34 rear)
-modify trans mount
-get a pull type set up going including the clutch unless you covert the trans to a push type
-new rear end gears to match the r34 ratios in the trans.
-creat some space for a larger dog box (will need to make space in the trans tunnel, check out rhd hybrids build as he has just gone through this)
-change the speedo to mechanical unless you plan on running an aftermarket tach then leave it a electric.

I thought about doing this a million times until I saw the effort needed to do this and said I rather just save for a more simplistic trans. Too much!

[Sri-LanKING]

oh ok, thanks i heard that the r32 transmission was weaker so how can I upgrade it? thanks anyways!

[cschepp]

Well you can do a couple things:

-rebuild it and hope it lasts
-buy the r34 and do all work
-buy an r33 Gtr trans convert it to push type(I have "heard" the r33 ones are better)
-buy an os giken setup, 12000$ later it better hold up....
-or the one I would do is look on the Ausie website and try and find a used ppg box for the 32. This option will cost you 4000$ ish and that tranny has been said for an excellent trans to drive daily as others get a little rediculous for anything other driving than racing.

Just some options I have looked at. Try looking into the ppg though, you could launch that all day and brake axles instead of transmissions!

like this?
and does it matter if you keep the transmission box or should I replace it as well?

[Messiahlee]

Sri how much power you plan on putting down?

[Sri-LanKING]

I dunno but, around 500hp-ish probably more if things work out

[cschepp]

Usually you can buy them as a fully unit. If your lucky you'll find a used one. Read into it. They do some excellent work.

[Sri-LanKING]

ok, thanks out of curiosity would one of those PPG dog boxes be suitable for daily driving?

[cschepp]

I would say that's your best bet. Most streetable

[Sri-LanKING]

ok, thanks soo much!

I doubt you're going to be putting down enough power to need a new tranny... Even if you do, the engine is going to blow up before you even get a chance to wreck your tranny. Such is gtr life.

[cschepp]

Not true..... With a 500hp motor that it is built reliably it will definitely blow up the trans on a good launch. Trans is a worth while investment!

[Dragon Humper]

You can see the power I am pumping out in my sig. Stock box and a tripple plate and, knock on wood, the trans hasn't popped yet. It's all in the drivers hands if it will last or not.

You can get teh stock trans built for a few grand so it won't break.
