rich1179 Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Would this be a holden v6? also i feel having 8 cars in my name is enough for now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 if staying N/A then the gearbox option should be much easier. The Triton R5M31 would probably be the easiest to do, otherwise you could just source the bellhousing from one and fit to a Toyota box. I'm considering using a Nissan 350Z/370Z CD009 6-speed box as they are cheaper to find than a T56 that I was originally going to use, plus they shift much better and are the same size.

Was going to suggest the 6 speed nissan box. As it seems like your going to make a bix fit, you could go a nissan navara diesel 5 speed. They are same as rb25 turbo skyline, so strong, but also 80mm shorter. Most of them had better synchros than the skylines too. Can be had for 350-400 if you look around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 what are the ratios like on a Navara diesel box though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 123 slightly(like 1 tooth) lower than the petrol. 4/5 the same. The diff is the difference. Edit- i converted one to a rb25 bellhousing for a drifter mate and told him the ratios would be slightly different and he said he could not tell. I suppose 400kw is going to turn the wheels no matter what. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1179 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Question for the GTO people, just installed he door rubbers on the green GTO and it seems the glass is too low in the fram by about 10mm to properly seal up to them? but ive tryed adjusting the glass up but still seems too low, can i slot the wholes in the door or is there another adjustment i'm missing. door are alined on the car within 2mm.

kyteler Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm not sure on GTOs specifically but on most cars there's a little bit of adjustment on the glass but most of the adjustments are in the mechanism. There should be a fixed part of the mechanism then an amount of rotation and movement from that, that allows for some fettling. The window guides themselves can have some adjustment too. Make sure nothing is fouling or binding when you get close to the top. It might be that it's sticking on something as opposed to being out of stroke.
