Well bit of a update I'v drove the car tonight for the first time and I did take a big gambull with this gearbox and it's bit me but I'm still hoping I can come in on budget . The gearbox has got to come out again as it's crunching going into 3rd gear and it's got a bit of a wined to it . It was a gambull i tuke but at least when it's rebuilt it will be 100% spot on . My good mate Rex is going to phone gears tomorrow and see wot they have to say and if they can help me

That's nothing to be pissed off about though mate, as you say once it's rebuilt you've got a proper box in there that should last

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

Your right mate . I'm on a skyline page as well and one chap has told me he can sort it out for about Ł400 + bearings depending on witch ones it needs . So the prices are starting to come in so let's see wot comes up

Teething troubles to be expected 3rd take abuse in most cars in the cossie its the one that shits itself as you know. Glad its not knocked your motivation mate keep it up

So what box is the best to use then mate to handle the power etc? is there a specific model to make your you get? I have a few mates into there skylines so may ask them to keep an ear out for any old box to mock up with

Jay,

Most the boxes will have a crunch in third mate as there a very slow change box and people try to rush them out of second to third and shag the syncros

To be onist mate I don't no . I'v got the gtr r32 box graham C has the gtr r33 both are 5 speed boxes but I'm told Martin used the r34 gearbox witch from wot I'v seen are 6 speed but they cost a lot more .

Hi mate you could be right it's 100% a syncro fult I'v been on a skyline site and they have all told me 3rd syncros go on these boxes . I'v got two chaps price it up at the mo and one has all ready said there is a mod kit to resolve the problem he has just got to price it up

My box is starting to crunch so let me no about prices . 34 box's are about 4k then the bell housing bolt on which dose make it easyer but a lot more expensive

Well the gear box is out of the car again and I'v been looking into this problem and it's not good it's a comen problem and I'v had two places tell me that I'm looking at about Ł1,000 to sort it . The second place today just dose skylines they did tell me that they have a all singing all dancing gearbox on the shelf for Ł3,500 shit me I all most fell off my chair . Well we have had a good chat and I'm going over to there place tomorrow to pick up a so called good second had gearbox for Ł500 as I just cannot aford Ł1,000 at the mo so I'm going to try a second gear box in the car . But at the same time keep trying to find a cheap way to sort these boxes out . I'v been told of a oil to use witch is very good to help with this problem but that's Ł80 for 4 Lt of it but to be onist the way I see it if it's starting to ware oil is not going to make it all good again . So all being well it should be in the car by the new year . So up to now with 2 gearboxes I'm at Ł1,263

iTrader: (2)

lol, I fitted new synchros into mine when I bought due to the very same problem you guys are having, was nothing like the prices your talking, but then again, I can strip boxes and rebuild them.

iirc a new Nissan synchro ring and hub was something like Ł140.

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

I'm in tuch with a place in oz that dose all the parts for these gearboxes so when the new box is in I'm going to strip the old one and see if I can do it myself . Did you get your parts from Nissan ?? And how long agow as every one I'm talking to says that they don't sell the parts any more

I went to see a friend the other day who had a skyline front prop for me and he took me for a spin in his 640bhp r32 and feck me that's quick

He said if the syncros are notchy then using the redline shockproof oil transforms the crunchy changes, he swears by it and said it got rid of his crunchy 3rd gear for now

Bit industrial when it's cd with the redline shockproof stuff but felt good once warmed up

markk

iTrader: (2)

Was a couple of years ago, but as far as i know the parts are still available.

Alot of the time you need to give part numbers as most parts people will not entertain you without a chassis number.

ossie cossie

Thanks for the info, where is the place in OZ I may keep that address phone number for future referance. You are not going to have to remake the bellhousing again are you? Coz if you do i would be interested in one.

3.5k for a gearbox.... lol.

smiley

this is the bottom end of the price range for a 4x4 box to take over 500 bhp gets costly then add diffs!
Hope you get it sorted coley
i was all set to go opligger big tooth until i was shown a bent twisted big tooth gear on monday 550 did the damage was suprised the alternative is still 3800 but aparently non have broken

I've been told a lot about this oil and the place I got my second gearbox from today told me it's a must for these boxes but 4 bottles at Ł20 each not good

Second gtr R32 gearbox with a guaranty

Hi mate they have not come back to me yet as it's Xmas but when they did I will let you no if they can help
I can use the first bell housing on the new box but I am thinking of modding this bell housing so I will keep you in mind

Jay,

Fact is though mate it will crunch eventually and if you use shock proof all it does is make the box as stiff as fuck when cold the even slower changing when hot ! Theres might be strong in these boxes but they can be a bloody hard work with the syncros ! this is one of the reasons I went for a gearkit over the conversion and i do know I have had a could of skylines 2wd and 4wd and both boxes inherit the same shite

Hellraiser

Is that for a new one? I just had tremec 2wd conversion with clutch, flywheel, gearstick relocation and paid Ł4500, good strong kit commands good strong money tbf

I will do a full update tomorrow some time but this car is back on the road now and the new gearbox is working as it should thank god I'v all so got the transfer box working as well and it's stunning . When the car is in 2wd it just spins the rear wheels but on the flick of a switch it turns I to a missile I never nown the car pull so hard in the time it's been on the road and that's in the wet as well . I will get some photos up tomorrow when I get some time

markk

iTrader: (2)

Now imagine if it could do that based upon its own control processes.

What about 1~4 switchable transmission maps depending on road conditions?

All available with this box.

I would love to no more about this box your on about mark as it would make the car . But I have asked you befor for more info and ware I can get my hands on one but you have not come back to me as yet . So if you have any info on it please put it up on this post for all to see thanks mate

As I've said before, I had notchy 3rd and 4th in 600 hp r32 gtr and redline heavyweight oil transformed it, stiff cold but fine once warmed up and I did loads if 0-100 mph in 8 seconds in that car


And my most recent r32 gtr had rebuilt box which was Ł700 and included 3rd/4th carrier and some bearings seals and was a mint box, you should of bought it bud I sold for Ł650

Hi mate I think the old box had redline in it as it was fick and red when I removed the oil and I'v spoke to the chap I had it off and he seems a good lad said it was 100% when he had the box in his car. It's all ways the way when your looking for a part / gearbox there's non to be had but when you don't need one there every ware . I payed Ł500 for the new gearbox but as I'm not using the bell housing off it I'm proboly going to mod it to fit a cosworth so I can help some one out that is doing this mod to there gearbox . And at the same time get some of my Ł back that this mod has cost me .

Intrested me self happy new year

I'd be interested in the modded casing price dependant

Hi Andy happy new year to you all so very simpol to be onist . The pump that runs the transfer box has 3 parts to it
1. The pump witch makes 280psi
+ and - 12 volt
2. A presser switch that you run throw a relay to turn the pump off when it hits 280psi
3. A PWM regulator that controls how much presser gose to the transfer box
I'v bort a risister that I can control the PWM regulator with so I can have only 2wd or full 4x4 or just a bit of 4x4 there is lost that can be done to control this box but that's the basics of it

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

Hi mate I'v not give it much fort about doing them and at wot price but if I was to at the very least I would need to do a bell housing swop or mod a bell housing that would be sent to me but ever way we could work some thing out
