SIXTEEN YEARS OF RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT I love my Silvia! I DON’T want to cut, hammer, bash or modify my chassis at all, not even a “little” bit. You just want the perfect fitment and the perfect feel from your 500kw gearbox, the way it should’ve came from the factory. R33GCK-Factory Pro With over 16 whole years of engineering Nissan Silvia-specific drivetrain solutions (2009 we released the Z32GCK) we now give you the: “R33GCK-Factory Pro” RB25DET R33 Gearbox Conversion Kit – Factory Pro Fitment (also fits* the R34 gearbox) Factory shifter location, movement and pro feel Factory gearbox fitment – no chassis hammering, cutting, or modifications No low-hanging gearbox – gearbox sits at the factory angle in the factory location No crazy noise, vibration, harness, or heat Factory interior trims fit perfectly Handles over 500kw Biggest selection of aftermarket gearsets and upgrades available “How’s this possible??!?!?!!” The answer is in re-engineering the shifter setup on the R33 / R34 RB25DET gearbox, and then everything else neatly fell into place. So let’s talk about the shifter setup first… R33GCK-Factory Pro: shifter setup re-engineered to suit the Nissan S-chassis ABOUT THE SHIFTER We’ve re-engineered the strong Nissan Skyline RB25DET gearbox’s shifter setup so it comes out right in the middle of the standard Nissan Silvia SR20DET shifter chassis hole. 8 new billet pieces have been CNC machined out of high-carbon steel and aerospace aluminium. The results have no tricks, no weird movement, no odd feels – just honest to goodness hardcore engineering and precision manufacturing. By following the provided step-by-step full colour printed instruction manual, you disassemble the R33 or R34 gearbox, bolt on the Alpha Omega Racing shifter parts, then re-assemble the gearbox – the shifter will then pop out right in the middle of the S-chassis’ shifter hole – just like factory! R33GCK-Factory Pro: Perfect Shifter Position – S13 R33GCK-Factory Pro: Perfect Shifter Position – S14 R33GCK-Factory Pro: Perfect Shifter Position – S15 The results: R33 / R34 RB25DET gearbox’s shifter is now perfectly in the middle of the standard Nissan Silvia S13, S14, or S15 (SR20) shifter hole Shifter movement is perfect H-pattern Shifter feel is perfect No cutting or modifying any metal No cutting or modifying any plastic No hammering or bashing or massaging or “love tapping” your chassis Standard interior trims fits perfectly All functions work perfectly – like factory – reverse lockout, return to centre, reverse sensing and neutral sensing Features: CNC machined high-carbon billet steel components for the ultimate in solid, precise shifting feel CNC machined aerospace billet aluminium components for light weight and corrosion resistance 20% shorter-throw with the OEM Skyline standard shifter Anodised Type II (Steel cannot be anodised) R33GCK-Factory Pro: Perfect Shifter Position – a look from underneath ABOUT THE ADAPTER PLATE In all the years – since 2009 – we’ve made gearbox adapters we have had exactly zero issues and zero complaints: we got this down pat. It wasn’t really all that difficult… just expensive; CNC machines are repeatable 24/7, the CMM is accurate to 0.001mm, and we didn’t take shortcuts – it’s one thick billet piece of 360° alloy to ensure rigidity and reliability, keeps all 4 genuine OEM Nissan alignment dowels in their factory locations and then added other little thoughtful features. We custom engineered it to use additional fasteners – 18 high tensile bolts – to secure the gearbox onto the motor; this is the most, ever. Alpha Omega Racing is the only company to do the following; we mapped out extra-but-blanked holes in the R33 gearbox, then we machined corresponding holes into our billet adapter, then give you the instructions on exactly where and how to drill out those holes. A wonderful side benefit of the thick billet adapter and the most bolts used in any conversion kit available is that it gives you increased engine reliability! Block braces and girdles strengthen the engine horizontally, the billet gearbox adapter strengthens the engine vertically. Nissan engineers said they “…concentrated on the rigidity of the engine (and of the engine/trans combination, which used 10 connecting bolts) by using a main bearing girdle, the two-piece sump and the closed-deck block.”. -Autospeed magazine CNC Machining the full ring thick billet alloy engine-to-gearbox adapter We manufacture chassis-specific parts, and the parts are different! If you have an S15 with the 6-speed gearbox then: No flywheel spacer is used No bellhousing machining (face milling) is required but holes need to be added and modified; the installation manual includes all machining instructions or we have a swap-and-go machined bellhousing available too If you have an S13 S14, or S15 with a 5-speed gearbox then: No flywheel spacer is used Bellhousing machining (face milling) is required; the installation manual includes all machining instructions or we have a swap-and-go machined bellhousing available too If you have already done some other gearbox conversion and want to upgrade to Alpha Omega, then Contact Us for a customised solution The results are: Input shaft spline centrelines are perfectly aligned – this means all SR20 flywheels and clutches (standard spline position) will fit; single plate, twin plate, triple plate No custom flywheels or custom clutches are required Perfect engine-to-gearbox alignment by keeping all 4 OEM alignment dowels and their original positions Perfect starter motor alignment Easy starter motor servicing Increased engine rigidity and reliability Features: CNC machined billet 1-piece alloy for accuracy, rigidity and reliability CMM accurate to 0.001mm 18 high-tensile bolts to secure the gearbox onto the motor OEM genuine Nissan alignment dowels included Reliefs for dust and dirt where necessary Anodised Type II The “Pro” in Factory Pro – 11mm slotting of the upper sump holes The latest “Pro” version slots the upper sump holes by 11mm to fit all these girdles, giving you 40% more clamping: Hypertune = 9.70mm JHH Racing = 9.70mm Plazmaman = 8.00mm Platnium Racing Products = 10mm Standard = 0.00mm Mazworx = 0.00mm ABOUT THE CROSSMEMBER We heard complaints about sheet metal welded cross members not fitting properly on some raced, drifted, dragged, bent, crashed, repaired chassis’. Our solution: a 3-piece billet CNC machined cross member giving you adjustability in all directions. CNC Machined 3-Piece Billet Alloy Cross Member, multi-adjustable and raises the Skyline gearbox to the factory Silvia angle Because of the perfect shifter position, it is now possible to raise the gearbox back to the correct factory angle without cutting, hammering or modifying anything – a world first for any gearbox swap in any Silvia, ever! To this date – August 2025 – we are proud to say it is still the only product to get this right. You’ll notice the up-swept angle of the cross-bar to achieve zero tilt on the drivetrain – zero tilt on the engine, zero tilt on the gearbox, and zero tilt on the tailshaft. No more vibrations, no more scraping gearboxes, and no more wearing out unijoints. You don’t have to worry about your engine hitting your aftermarket carbon fibre hood or stretching out your wiring and hoses or do any intercooler or exhaust piping modifications either. Features: 3-piece design; adjustable in all directions for a factory fit The gearbox angle is perfect – not lowered or raised from the factory angle Guaranteed perfect install Anodised Type II CNC Machined 3-Piece Billet Alloy Cross Member, multi-adjustable and raises the Skyline gearbox to the factory Silvia angle OTHER TRICKS AND FEATURES FLYWHEEL / CLUTCHES: No flywheel spacer is used here. Re-use your current SR20 flywheel and clutch kit, or use any aftermarket SR20 flywheel/clutch kit designed for your car – all single and multi-plate clutches are compatible with the Alpha Omega Racing design (standard spline position). TILT: Alpha Omega Racing raises the back of the Skyline gearbox to the original height without cutting or bashing metal. Using the R33GCK-Factory Pro, the gearbox is tilted 0º (zero degrees). EVERYTHING INCLUDED: All necessary bits and bobs are included for installation, you will not have to run out to the shop to buy anything else and you can re-use your current gearknob too! SMOOTH INSTALL: Included is a printed step-by-step instruction manual with full colour pictures, surprisingly handy to have next to you during the install. Any licensed mechanic will be able to carry out the installation and except for the bellhousing modifications, no specialist tools are required. SUMMARY Factory-like fitment and feel Shifter is perfect in every way No hammering or cutting or modifying of any metal or plastic in your chassis Re-use your current flywheel and clutch kit, or use any clutch kit made for your Silvia (standard spline position) Made and engineered in Australia so you know it’s done right R33GCK-Factory Pro: looks and feels like factory, but handles over 500kw WHAT’S INCLUDED? The R33GCK-Factory Pro includes everything needed to install and adjust the R33 and R34 gearbox: 1-piece CNC machined billet aluminium gearbox adapter plate 3-piece CNC machined billet aluminium cross member, multi-adjustable 8-piece CNC machined billet aluminium billet high-carbon steel shifter relocation with 20% short-shift function 2x CNC machined billet aluminium clutch fine tuning rings 2x genuine Nissan OEM alignment dowels CNC machined billet S15 gear knob adapter (comes with the S15-specific kit, not required for S13 or S14) Zinc coated silver spring pin Zinc coated high tensile silver nuts, bolts and other hardware Printed full step-by-step installation instructions with colour pictures You need the following parts to make it all work: R33 (or R34*) Skyline RB25DET manual gearbox, with all accessories: R33 shifter R33 slave cylinder R33 speedo sensor kit (not required for S15) Reverse sensor Neutral sensor Custom tailshaft Some modifications are necessary. Made in Australia *NOTES ON THE VARIOUS RB25DET GEARBOXES This product is engineered to work with the rear wheel drive Nissan Skyline R33 / R34 RB25DET 5 speed manual gearboxes code FS5W30A with 40mm input shaft spline length and the push-style clutch release mechanism. The R34 model RB25DET Skyline gearbox is “pull-style” but you can use it here when you swap in the R33 “push-style” front cover. The good thing about the R34 gearbox is it’s the last revision of these gearboxes with the upgraded 4th gear. To do the pull-to-push conversion you need the following items: R33 gearbox front cover plate including the clutch pivot ball Optional NISMO strengthened clutch pivot ball R33 clutch slave cylinder The R34 bellhousing has provisions to mount the R33 slave cylinder but the holes are blind, you simply drill and tap these blind holes. Re-use your Silvia’s clutch fork, throw out carrier and bearing One last thing you need to know is that the shifter bushes are different sizes; you either need to swap an R33 shifter bush onto your R34 shifter, or just use the R33 shifter.
