i swore i saw a primera owner's website where he said he had swapped a 6 spd tranny from a pulsar. I tried finding it again and couldn't find it....there i go imagining webpages again

found it again, but i've never heard of a gti-r spec v, was there one?....

Maybe it was some monster that only ever saw the light of day in Japan? :confused:

I've certainly not heard of a GTi-R Spec V, or for that matter a GTi-R with a 6 speed 'box as standard.

the pulsar vzr1 have a 6 speed box ,never heard about a gtir with this gear box.

Would you happen to know the technical info or any specs at all about the vzr1 of which you speak? Sounds cool.

is a 1.6 liter with 200hp ,I will find more info about this car.

The limited run Pulsar Serie VZ-R N1 Version II is powered by the SR16VE (NEO VVL) which puts out 200hp @ 7800 rpm from 1596ccs. At 125.3 hp/l that's a slightly better hp:liter ratio than the Honda S2000's F20C. Here's a shot of the motor:

Interior shot:

Interior seating. As you can see, inside and out, it has the general platform of the standard Pulsars, but is built for extremist sports:

I actually had one of these in my hands last year. :D

OK, it was brand new and in a box, but the box (and thus gearbox) was in my hand. :D:D:D:D:D

I think JWT can get you one.

For about $6,000. :eek:

They are extremely rare and generally not available used (unlike the SR20DET).

You know, for $6000, you might as well be better off with a race-designed sequential gearbox. I know JUN Auto Mechanic has a 5-speed seq. for the S14 bodies in longitudinal rear-wheel-drive format, but surely someone will have them for front-wheelers.

Yep. And they'll only cost you around $20,000. :eek:

Like I said, I don't know how much a FWD sequential gearbox would cost, but JUN's S14 5-speed gearbox for the SR20DET was labeled at around $5000 in one publication on its drag racing debut a few years ago. I don't know if this is a firm price so I can't be certain, but that is what the article review stated.

Oh crap! How I wish we could get a decent box for that price, let alone a sequential box.

Mike Kojima tried to get Quaife to make us a gearset for our gearboxes and the set was going to be $3,000 each for the initial run and subsequent sets would be even higher!

Someone makes a sequential FWD box and I tried to come up with the name but couldn't. As I understand it, most of the touring car teams run the same box. It might be made by Quaife, but I'm not so sure.

I think the company you're looking for is XTrac. They make BTCC ones anyway.

That's the one. Thanks Jason.

God bless X-trac. Gotta love the Toyota GT-One and other LMPs using X-tracs transmissions.
