Hey all,

I have managed to collect 2 R32 gearboxes and need to get rid of them both.

Gearbox no1. is an RB20det box that came in my car when i bought it. and it has worn 2nd gear syncros. it will crunch if you change over 3500rpm from 1st to 2nd and from 3rd to 2nd. I tried redline lightweight shockproof in it and it made a bit of difference but still crunches. the bearings are still in good condition and the box did not whine at all. would be a cheap fix for a good condition box. $50

Gearbox no2. I bought this box off a forum member and was assured it was in excelent condition. it was most certainly not.....

from the day i put it in it made bearing noise. the syncros are all fine and it changes very smoothly but the bearings are completly shagged. when i drained the oil there was little bits of bearing in the oil :huh: MMMMM! once again if you put a set of bearings in it you would have a good box for cheap. $50

Make 1 good box out of 2 for $100 and have a spare gearset! Wooo Hooo!

Also have for sale a viscous LSD centre. only fitted to my car for about 3 months (mind you that includes 7 drift days Yikes!) it is for an R32 and will also fit an R33, S14 ect. it was starting to open wheel so it was removed and replaced with a 2 way more suited for drift duties. When i bought it it had only done 50odd thousand k's

I have removed it from the housing and the viscous centre, splines, spider gears and all are in excellent condition. I have 2 brand new shims from nissan ready to put in it and once done it will be super tight and should feel like a mechanical 1.5 way.

I also have a housing, pinion and backplate and crownwheel (entire diff - halfshafts) $100 for the lot :rofl:

All located in Canberra. will post the diff centre but not the gearboxes.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
