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 :)

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
