Has anyone had a transfer case rebuilt, if so who by, how much and were you happy?

I don't need anything tricky done to it, just put back together with the right clearances, new clutch plates if needed etc etc

Ive heard RACEPACE have some secret trick for them for track cars - ask R31Nismoid about that, he knows more

How much have they quoted to fix it Duncan? Ill take a guess: Not cheap....around $1300 inc new parts?

Im pretty sure that cost is around the mark.

They fit the transfer case with additional clutch packs to send more drive to the front.

from looking at the pictures.....harder than a bottom end :laugh:

I'm sure the racepace mods are the best option, but I don't need the extra clutch packs really, just someone locally who knows how to put em together.

I guess no-one has even done this locally?

Award Gearbox and Diff at Rydalmere, Croydon use them for most of their gearbox/diff work....give them a call....they did our OS Giken gearbox for us and did a stellar job.

P.S. speak to Terry

i'm assuming you've asked the usual suspects what they do/who they use. powerplay, UAS, Nathan etc. I would start there if not. Sadly it's not something people comonly attend to. :laugh:

Thanks Paul I'll give them a call. Did you have your xfer case done as well or just the box?

Yeah Richard, have tried those guys and JJ as well, no-one was rebuilt a transfer case I guess they are pretty well designed peices of gear.

This one I need to sort out we managed to burn out at targa a couple of years ago, heaps and heaps of front torque while on a 50klm stage where it was snowing :laugh:

we usually find they dont break but burn the clutchs out . two of the transfers 1 r33 an 1 r34 were at some stage put on a two wheel drive dyno which fried the clutchs . no unlike an auto.

Ok thanks :P

Give him a call Steve. 95211388. His prices are very reasonable. He did my manual conversion.

Will do :wave:

Duncan,

Give me a call and I'll put you in contact with the same guy who built John White's Transfer cases for the Targa Tas N1.

He knows what he's doing and said that he and John both didn't like the amount of slip the STD Transfer Case has and he was able to modify the clutch basket to give it better and "surer" drive to the front wheels.

Honestly you're best of sending it to him and asking for a "John White Special" hahaha and the best part is he said he has all the parts he needs.

thanks Tosh remind me when I pick up the volvo, I'll give them a bell too :happy:

but I don't really need to modify the transfer case, just rebuild it. The attessa controller gives me more than enough front torque even on the standard case :glare:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
