hope your prepared to pay some good money. most sell their gearboxes from 12-1500 private and up to 2300 from wreckers.

never mind the rest of the conversion kit.

yeah i do have to consider the whole conversion would cost abit more.

but i went around to wreckers and they offer me around 1800 for the whole gearbox except for labour. u reckon thats worth it?

well you didnt explain that to well. is that 1800 for just the gearbox or the whold conversion kit??? is that a trade in with yours or what is the story?? and who is fitting???

sorry wasnt clear :P, but yeah the whole conversion kit $1800 + labour around $500+ yeah?

then i need to sell my gearbox, so not a trade.

mechanic guy name is Paul from Oakliegh mech in VIC if you know?

i've done a few parts and changes with him.

1800 for full conversion kit is a good price. last place i got a price from was 1700 for just the gearbox. as far as i am usually quoted just removal and reinstillation of manual gearbox is about 300 so i think 500 isnt too bad..... if your gunna do that get an r32 rb20det man ecu put in and get it remapped instead of the rb25det man ecu.. also have a jap remapped chip here to suit a rb25det motor with r32 ecu. had it dynoed at 197rwkw on 10psi. only mod was full exhaust and fuel pump as well as the ecu. that was a 25 in a 32 with rb20 loom

i guess so if its cheap i would get it, but i have been looking around at gearboxes it self and have found a few decent prices. But i need to know what is the different between a non-turbo r33 gearbox to a turbo gearbox?

found a guy selling it cheap and wonder if its worth to get it and i just reinfored the bands n such to handle the turbo. what do u reckon?

thanks mate.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
