classsiccccc!

Sounds like you might have reached the limit of that trans. Either the gearset or a built auto is probably your best bet.

Like they say, if you aren't braking things then you don't have enough power Sounds like you might have reached the limit of that trans. Either the gearset or a built auto is probably your best bet.

NO TO THE AUTO. Spend the coin on some gears, and billet forks. Maybe hunt for a R34 6 speed... then remove the T-case like people have done with the rb26 box.

What tires are you running? This thing must be hooking hard to shock load the trans like that causing the damage. Also I'm sure you could shift a bit slower. Your not flat footing are you?

sidenote: WhatADSM your car looks f***ing mean.

Awesome dude.

What is that wierd looking oil?

As much as we'd all love the 6spd Getrag box, people usually charge enough to shatter hopes and dreams. The Getrag gear box is a beast though... A 5spd gearset is a lot easier to find and install when it comes down to wallet thickness.

It's a really pricey transmission for sure, but it's very streetable, and most importantly reliable. I'm just throwing the idea out there you never know if someone down the line who stumbles accross this post could get some inspiration ( with deep pockets ).

Good luck and congrats on all that power that's pretty sick !

I know I know, however tho when you consider the $3500 PPG set, + labor to install your looking at over 4 grand. Not sure what he can pick up a 6 speed from the GTR over there for, but it will be easier than making a bellhousing adapter plate and possible shifter location issues with the supras V160 which internally is the same transmission. V160 is stronger than the PPG gears in a GT-ST box, supra boys make 1300+ wheel through them shifting hard, running 7.9X times and don't break them. Which I'm sure you know. Not to mention they weight 3300-3700 w/driver.

I look at it this way, even if the GTR 6 speed is ~5k knowing it wont break might be worth it....

Crazy your blowing the trans even granny shifting. Generally shock loads are what kills transmissions first. How much torque did your motor make? Boostz3 is making about that same power and as far as I know has never ruined a gear, but has broken a shifter fork.

I'm aware of those internally same trans. Last I thought he was making 700ish on e85 through a Borg Warner Turbo... I could be confusing cars, but I'm pretty positive on that.

Maybe on the shaft flex, the R33's is like an inch or two longer, so sure it might be possible to get a slightly larger gap as the mating gears pitch circles are pulled apart under high load. Most likely a flexture that the naked eye couldn't see..

I'm talking about the R34 GTR 6 speed getrag transmission.

Did the car make it in gear? It once the gear entered 3rd what happened? Or where you pulling through 3rd and it just blew to s*** part way through?

Built Auto FTW. Drag racings pointless if your not running consistent ETs.

What? First off, bracket racing is gay. Extremely gay. Like two dudes making out gay. I'll assume you aren't talking about that. Now I don't know how much drag racing you do, but trying to build my car to go faster and challenging myself to drive it as fast as possible is why I do it. Trying to drive that beast Regan drives is more than tough to do. Now if you said he should go auto because nothing shifts as fast as an automatic, I might see your point. Of course I want to beat what ever car rolls up next to me, but I'll never go auto to help do that. I completely agree with shocker. The only way an auto tranny isn't lame is if your car has single digit e.t. potential.

That is a weaksauce way of fixing this issue, and IMO is for lazy old timers. Its way more impressive for me to see a 10 sec ~ single digit car that is piloted through a true MT. His 700+ whp skyline is more than capable of a 9 second pass, but that comes down to the driver mod and a transmission that can handle it obviously.

With a transmission that can handle the power, and enough seat time he will see great times I'm sure. There is a good deal of 6mt Supra guys who can consistently cut 8-9 second passes with very few botched/fubared runs in between. I see no reason this cant be done with a properly pieced together S-chassis, Skyline, or Z w/o the use of an auto.
