Wtb R33 Gtr Geabox

[fieds83]

Hi guys as the title states i need an R33 GTR gearbox in good working order and i prefer series 3 as my car is series 3. Must be in good condition as i will be inspecting it before fitting to my car.

PM ASAP if anything comes up.

Hi Fieds,

Nope, moderate launch but 3rd didn't like the heavy bit of my triple plate. Clutch+slightly reckless engagement=smashed 3rd gear. The previous owner broke 3rd on two boxes though 360-370awkw it might be time for an upgrade or more controlled shifting practices.

Thanks for the link but unfortunately it does not include transfer case. After speaking with Shaun at Boostworx it has come to my attention that there is more to it than just bolting my old transfer case to the new box. There is a fair bit of set up work involved.

Anymore 33 gtr boxes in SA?

[1400r]

not sure what the problem is seeing as Kansai has one

although it may only be a s2

you found out how to tell the difference between s2 and s3 yet?

[fieds83]

Yeh i have the serial numbers from both. Physically the series 3 has stronger synchros and smoother shift. There are a few other minor differences.

When i asked about the Kansai box and its shift quality i was told it was unknown because there was no shifter attached. I am happy to buy the box but i need to know if it works or not.

[1400r]

only boxes that have been driven are going to be able to answer that and I doubt there's many of those at import yards

we dont lie here theres no point and we do offer cash back if you have problems on start up

my 33 gts-t box felt fine on the floor in the car is a different story 3 gear syncro is alittle worn and I have to shift slowly

alternatively get boostworks to give it a quick check over before install

[fieds83]

Sorry, so it was you that i spoke to yesterday?

[1400r]

lol yes

ps just stuck a rb20 shifter in the box and it feels ok to me bit hard to tell with a 20 shifter and not a proper gtr one

[fieds83]

I will down ther in 20 minutes.

You've got rocks in your head if you don't clean out all the shite in a engine or gearbox or diff after buying from a import wrecker! And that is no disrespect to any of the wreckers out there, most times they don't even know the background of the part. I'd be getting it stripped down and rebuilt before it goes in anyways, don't wanna have to re post this 6 months down the track do you! Better be safe than sorry!! As they say, "when in a hurry, shite turns bad, BUT you've always got time to do it the second time"

[fieds83]

Thats what i am weighing up atm, do i rebuild with a strong gearset or be gentle on a good second hander? Dont worry i had no intention of installing a box without a thourough checkover first. Still thinking about it at the moment, if only i could find a good condition stock gearset then i would rebuild my current box.

1400r Can you check the serial number on the box before i head down?

[1400r]

Im assuming serial number would be on a little sticker ?

if so they've been worn away

[sparkmanv11]

I have a stock s2 gearshift assembly if u need for static test.

[fieds83]

Thanks for your sparkmanv11, will let you know if we do.

[fieds83]

On the other hand, who should speak to regarding a rebuild here in Adelaide?
