raddys Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hello.. so im on the hunt for a tt6 as some of you may know and im just wondering about parts.. say i buy one and worst case some syncro's or something goes down the line, how hard and expensive are replacements to find? I remember seeing someone manufacturering parts for the v16#'s but not sure how far this got? Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Suprasport in the Netherlands are doing rebuilds on them now I believe. Other than that, parts for them are pretty much non-existent nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Well good news is here, is that I work for a motorsport company that engineers gearboxes and diffs for f1, touring, rally etc... so if it's difficult to find and source I can make them on homers... all i would need is the parts to copy! But, Can also get stuff in the states I think, and assume they would courier. http://www.jackstransmissions.com/collections/v160-transmission-parts Edited March 14, 2017 by Supra-love (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 All of the gears have been Re manufactured into billet items by a lad in the states...they aren't cheap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 You could also go for a PPG straight cut gear set from Australia, but that's pretty aggressive for the street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I bet the whine would get on your nerves after 10 mins of driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Isn't it also a dog box? It would get around a very large percentage of OE parts in use, but a straight cut dog box on the road....? Nah! 25 miles from home to Oulton is bad, here to Donington is enough to make you glad to get out. In traffic? Appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Arnout in Supra Sport has a few boxes built for a quick turnaround on an exchange basis http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?339919-V160-gears Luc got his box rebuilt by Jacks but it still had a whine after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yes Chris, it's a dog box so a bit OTT for the street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamc111 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm sure I read that you can get the ppg gearset as helical gears as well as straight cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 According to their web site you can, now made to special order, contact for pricing. Uses their own billet centre bearing support housing. Looks expensive... I just love my Tracktive in my R33 GTS-t, so small, so light and service and spares that are second to none. Drop gears to change the effective diff ratio that can be changed in 20 minutes. Just try getting Quaife spares for a low volume gearbox of theirs...
