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:

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
