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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
