I did mine a couple years ago, just purchase your synchro rings(baulk rings) for all gears or just second, third and fourth if youre on a tight budget (since these are the common gears that go). You will probably be better off doing main bearing and front and rear seals too.

Anyhow parts will probably cost you 300-500 depending on what you get. Then take it to gearbox shop and expect shitloads for labour (they are not easy to pull apart whatsoever). But on the upside, as good as new box for maybe a touch more than the second hand one.

Here's one I destroyed earlier!!!

Got into first, then second but third went BANG, then it sounded like I was draging a tailshaft under the car.

Got a s/h one and it's been good so far.......

Pull it apart in my carport, just need to buy long gear pullers and a ppg gearset or os gikken!

the insides: enjoy

Pulled it apart in Syd.

LOL, I was waiting for someone to bring that up!!

I'll never use that oil again either.

After they put that in it was making a nice bearing whine noise that wasn't there before.

I now use castrol synthetic gear oil and castrol synthetic LSD oil, diff works like new!!!

well i had that decision when my diff went whiny whiny whiny, and i figured its cheaper and keeps my mind at ease KNOWING that your gb has just got all new seals and synchros, and that its gonna hold, and sometimes you might be lucky enough to get warranty. Rather than having a 2nd hand gb which you are unsure about. go the rebuild alot safer

Pm dan from elite racing . i think his username is 3lit3_32

good bloke to deal with. and wont stuff you around.

my opinion is. if your not confident in doing it yourself. let him do it.

i was about 75% confident in being able to do it. but at the end of the day. i have more confidence in him and his warranty on workmanship :)

a pat on the back to the first person to guess what oil GTRsean was running

i know...do you

Hint: some times called. Smurfs Blood

:ninja:

RellikZephyr

Not to get tooo off topic, but heres a good one of an old house mates gearbox when the smurfs blood tried to escape. Only problem was that it was a straight cut box that had been in for 2 weeks or so.

Nasty!!

Smurfs blood will always look for it's natural environment. It is futile to try and keep it contained in gboxes for too long.

Pitman arm puller is what is used to remove ball joints.

basically two or three adjustable arms with claws on the end and a threaded center bolt with tip.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
