Best Person/workshop To Work On Gearbox Of Gtr32....


Recommended Posts

Well i'm thinking of getting some work done on the gearbox of my gtr32, maybe putting in OS gears and dropping in new synchros and etc, anyone here can recommend some workshops/mechanics who are good with gearboxes and charge reasonable prices?

By the way, can anyone tell me if it's possible to drop in a GTR34 gearbox into a GTR32 without too much hassle? As in will the clutch need to be changed as well or other parts need to be changed when a GTR34 gearbox goes into a GTR32?

I think I read an article in a recent ZOOM magazine that said it wasn't worth the hassle as the R34 gearbox is no stronger than any of the others. Your probably better off going with plan A and putting tuffer running gear in the box you have now.

No but its a hella lot newer isnt it.

well if your actually after someone to rebuild your gearbox, or at the very least give you advice on its condition.

get hold of gabba gearboxes in ashmore on the goldcoast.

they have been recomended by a few workshops.

I thought they were in Woolloongabba. Do you know if they have moved or do they have multiple locations.

They are quite good and do many of the strong RB box rebuilds out there.

it would appear that there are 2 of them with the same name but it does not appear that they are linked.

i took my last 33 gtst box to them for apull down and inspection on the coast here, but decided to go for a 2nd hand box with a warranty, only trouble is, just outside of 12 months this one has let go as well.

but yes i did think it was strange they were on the coast with a name like gabba gearboxes

I have heard that charlies is getting new R33 GTR boxes for around the $3500 landed...with transfer case etc?? the later getrag R34 GTR box is supposed to be better i thought than the standard GTR box, not to sure...but they are prob as expensive as getting a PPG dog upgrade or an os gearset?? My friend had his PPG dog upgrade installed at charlies and now godzilla MS look after it. I think that Godzilla MS might know somone?

i think that on late model R32's the cluch mechanism changed to be the same as the R33's and R34's (push or pull cant remember) so there is little modification required....if it is an early model R32 then there is some modification required, but i dont think its anything to major.

Cheers,

Francisco

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
