Pics from Open House

13 May{ 0 }

Here are some shots from the Open House we held yesterday. We had some parts on display, both from our own stock and also from our suppliers Ohlins, Akrapovic and Performance Friction Brakes. Ohlins showed the first production units of their new Road & Track dampers for GT-R, which was a world premiere. Two gearboxes were on display so we could show customers the problems and solutions we offer. During the day we performed different work on some customer cars. We installed Alcon 400mm brakes, COBB Accessports, replaced a damaged oil pan and did some oil changes among other work. When it was done we served some burgers, hot dogs and cold drinks.
We´d like to thank all of our customers and suppliers that joined us on this day.


Damaged gearboxes

17 Mar{ 0 }

As most GT-R owners are aware by now, the gearbox is the weakest link in the car. And as you´ve seen before, we´ve done a lot of different work on these boxes by now. Here are a few more examples of the problems we´ve seen, and the solutions we´ve used.

The first pic shows a broken synchro ring on the left, a fully working OEM ring in the middle and an upgraded one from Dodson Motorsport on the right. What you need to look for on the left one are the missing stop teeth. That´s the weak part on these rings and you can also see the difference in design on the Dodson ring.

The next three pictures show what it looks like when a circlip comes loose. You can see the damaged shaft, the amount of metal debris on the magnets and the loose circlip that was found in the box. This is not uncommon so we highly recommend replacing the circlips if you do any gearbox work. We recommend it even if you´re not running high power in your GT-R. These failures were on cars that ran maximum stage 1 tuning.


GR6 work again

13 Feb{ 0 }

Here are more pics of some of the gearbox work we´ve done. This time it´s a FWD clutch housing that´s broken. To repair it, we use the upgraded Dodson housing which is heavy duty compared to the OEM. There is also a pic that shows the input shaft to the FWD clutch. The clutches have burnt and stuck to each other. That caused the shaft to twist and then the housing broke. The last a pic shows the difference between an OEM broken clutch basket and a new Dodson one. You can clearly see the difference in material thickness.


More GR6 gearbox work

As we´ve said many times before, we do EVERYTHING on GT-R´s. During the autumn and winter, we´ve been busy with gearbox upgrades and repairs. We´ve replaced oil pressure sensors, clutches, clutch baskets, gears etc. We´ve also cleaned solenoids, gear actuators and so on. Here are a few pictures to illustrate this. If you want to get a stronger box that won´t let you loose any sleep at night, get in touch.

6 x GT-R at 23GTR.se

All the sales back in January had to turn into physical work at some point. Last week some of the cars were gathered so we didn´t want to miss the opportunity to take a couple of pictures. Even though you can´t see it in the pictures, this is a good example of all the different work we do. It ranges from a simple stage 1 tune with exhaust and COBB Accessport through the mighty P800 Package from Switzer to gearbox upgrades and repairs aswell as brake upgrades. Simply put, we do everything with these cars. If you want something done to your GT-R, don´t hesitate to get in touch with us. Thanks to our customer Erik who took the pictures.

Willall Racing parts installed in democar

26 May{ 0 }

Since the Switzer P800 kit is tried and tested on the democar with brilliant results, it was time to turn our attention to the gearbox. And since we have a great supplier in Willall Racing we didn´t have to look too far to find the right parts. The gearbox in the democar has been upgraded with WR35CC gear fastener system, WR35CCL clutch retaining clips and WR35PS piston seal replacement. We have these parts in stock and can of course help you get the job done on your car. If you want to upgrade the gearbox in your car, just drop us a mail and we´ll help you out. We are one of very few workshops in Europe that have experience of working with the GR6 box in the GT-R.
