Had the same problem as you.

I got a quote awhile back....around $1800

Believe it was Trans, gears and diffs. in Thomastown.

Drive in and leave for 3 days.

I found out I could prolong the life of the syncros by using Lightweight Shockproof.

Bursons sell it for around $120....change gear oil wait for around 500k's and presto...lol....no more problem.

20 thousand k's later and still going strong.

Highly recommend this to anyone who is having troubles with their boxes...... :D

The lightweight shockproof did sweet f**k all for my box, to engage the gears I just smash them in if they dont want to go in easily.

Is your car highly modified? If it is dont bother rebuilding it as you have a high chance of breaking it anyway. If not go right ahead.

Maybe see if you can find a S/H 33 box. Theyre newer and have less chance of being rooted. Still cheaper than a rebuild.

Im happy to just keep buying cheap S/H boxes as I break them :P 2nd box and counting!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
