Recon Gearbox..!

Well, after trying to stop the rumbling of my gearbox which I thought was the thrust bearing, didnt work obviously. I have decided to just get it rebuilt or replaced.

Crunches 3rd on high rev shifts, and reverse doesnt go in as nice as it once did. The worst is the grinding when downshifting, louder then the exhaust. :)

Its hung in there for a while, and with me being defected I thought now is the opportunity to finally get it sorted with.

Ive looked around the net for a while now, and just cant seem to find a straight answer anywhere! :) Basically, I believe the engine in my Cefiro is from a 32 skyline. Everything tells me its a turbo and manual conversion.

So I just want to know, how much is a price for a recon gearbox from somewhere? Ive seen 2 now and they are completely different prices. :S And what is this price actually including in the rebuild? Or would it be better to rebuild the one I currently have now?

Thanks for your time. :ninja:

Adam.

If this is an RB20DET gearbox, PM me with a full description of the symptoms. My mother's gearbox business can recondition your existing box for $1000 plus freight (should be about $40 each way to Melbourne and back). This includes replacement of all bearings/seals/synchros and 12 months warranty. She'll be as good as new :)

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
