HAHAHA ! HAAAA ! ! Try getting one ! ! well, they're out there: $1750 from the ONLY wreckers in Melbourne Who've got one, $1400->1700 privately, if You don't mind pot-luck . . . . (That's not a shot at anyone, just the nature of 2nd hand stuff)

Got a quote from All Wheel Drive Gearbox Reconditioners;

-------------------------------------------------

- Remove & Replace gearbox - $400

- Bearings and seals - $1200

Strip clean and inspect gearbox

Remove and replace bearings and seals

Re-assemble

Any Required parts (syncro etc) no labour incurred

Syncro's (if needed) are $500~ from Nissan, so looking at $2100 total?

-------------------------------------------------

Will drop by 360gearbox tomorrow and see what they have to say...

If i get a r33 gearbox for $1500, how much it cost to put into car driveaway?

$400 to remove/fit + extra's to make it actually work? ~ $2000 total?

$400 is too much just to remove & replace! $250 will cover it easy. Either that or they have no experience with skylines.

Thanks for the link wes81!

Interloper, they have a big sign on their workshop saying they specialize in GTR, WRX and all Japanese vehicles lol. Only saw 4WD's though..only went to them for a quote+free drive test. Might give them a miss as they didnt seem dedicated to japanese cars. I guess they needed to fill a blank wall on their workshop with some writing
