The syncro may be cheap but getting it installed isnt thats for sure I had mine done 3 years ago costs a bloody fortune.

cheers

how much roughly is a fortune? my 33 crunches from 1st -2nd. Man not looking forward to this

Your looking at $1000+ for gearbox rebuild..

Approx. $350 + gst to pull down and replace the box..

Approx. $400 + gst to replace any parts, check everything, rebuild..

+ Parts..

hmm thank god i thought it was gonna be $2000+ still expensive tho, any place you guys can recommend for this sort of work?

How'd you end up going - find somewhere to get it done??

Reason why people recommend getting the gearbox reconditioned because of the fact that atleast you'll know what life it's lived..

And also - cubes wants a cheap second hand box ;)

I bought Redline shockproof for my GTR and just did the change, what a difference.

I also had crunch from 3rd to 4th.NO CRUNCHING NOW. ;)

Reading the specs, the Burson's sales staff after asking my car type said the redline-shockproof was the oil required for the gear box .

So why are people saying not to use it? It is on paper from redline as a dirrect replacement oil.

Try Redline first, then see if it works. Cost $110 4L approx.

Do a gear box re-build when it's nakkered

havent't look for a place yet, the crunch is not really bad and doesnt happen all the time, im just preparing for worst case scenario.

dont worry you are not the only one, my 1-2 and 5th crunchs, but my problem is wat oil do i change to, currently its running some castrol oil, do i change over to a thick or thin, i know 2 mechanics and both are saying differently, logic says thick to stop the metal grinding, i notice redline shockproof gets mentioned alot here

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
