what work do you want done? New GB? New gearset? New synchros? Open up and inspect?

If it's not a really bad crunch, you could try a good quality synthetic gear oil e.g. Redline Shockproof. It does wonders for worn gearboxes, but wont help a broken gearbox.

the gearset should be fine, but 3rd and 4th syncro are f**ked, will definately need replacing. so i guess a syncro set, and assuming a bearing set would be done. just curious, if anyone knows or has used a shop that they would recommend.

Cant recommend a shop but can tell you that it will be around $1200-1500

I got a quote for 1st 2nd and 4th gear syncros plus bearings and seals...

I have notchiness into second and crunch into 4th above 4000rpm..

So i took the punt on some Redline Lightweight Shockproof..

After one day its much much much better already..

Will still get the gearbox done in around 6 months though

The one thing you'll find on SAU is that not many people have had their gearbox rebuilt.. most just a) put up with it.. b) get a 2nd hand gearbox for $1500 and go with that..

Just ring some places, get a couple of quotes and than tell everyone on here how it went..

You will be looking at about $1200 - $1500 though..

jeez that sounds a little exxy. A GTIR G/B can be had for ~1k and they are much harder to source and (IMHO) easier to break :laugh:. Market rates i spose....must be a sellers market in the skyline space.

all about supply and demand my son..

alot of R32 owners realise that the R33 box is superior to there R32 boxes :P

so they are always a sought after item.. If no-one wanted them, the price would fall

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
