Workshop Experienced In Rebuilding Rb25 5 Speed

[Mase]

I'm chasing some recommendations of workshops that have done a decent job at rebuilding a rb25 5 speeds in Brisbane. Mine is currently crunching synchro's and i'm looking at getting it rebuilt but some places seem to be useless with imports and/or the quality of work can be quite poor.

Also an idea of the costs you outlayed to have yours rebuilt would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey there mate! I recently got my 4 speed auto transmission fully rebuilt at a place called WS Automatics just over at rocklea. All up it ended costing me $2400!! looking back now I wish i'd bought a cheap 2nd hand auto box or converted to a manual. Anyway I was very pleased with there work and haven't had any issues with the transmission since. Seeing that your planning to rebuild a manual transmission, it shouldn't cost you as much as rebuilding an auto.goodluck!

Thanks mate, any others had the 5 speed rebuilt?

allow about $500 labour + $110 per syncro set

plus any bearings or seals that need replacing along the way..... would be roughly 1k1.5k job if all gears are good

[boostn32]

so sell the box cheap to me.

I use and recommend Hart Transmissions on the northside, 132 South Pine Road Strathpine, 38812644. They have been building my race boxes for a long time. If you cal them, tell them Stuart from Warwick sent you. My last rebuild on a race box that gets abused was under 1k. Obviously yours will depend on what has gone bye bye.

That's just round the corner so might suss it out. Cheers noddy.

Hey man i sent an email to the guys at http://www.pgr.net.au/ and this is the reply i got.

Hope it helps

The gearbox if you have a look on the side of it moulded in large letters should be RP71C. This is the most common gearbox we find in these imports.

To R&R fit new bearings, seals and oil would cost around $12 to $1300.00

Steve and Russel, at "Diff and Gearbox" in Newmarket Rd Windsor, they do plenty of the drift boys boxes, just done Trent Whyte's R32 rb25 box, mind you its a full PPG straight cut doggie.

I get them to do my close ration RB20/fj20 boxes.

Knowledgeable and quick.

Tell em Jason the Datsun racer sent ya, they treat you real nice, and no anal rape on price either.
