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!! :thumbsup: 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! :(

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.

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.

    • Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.
    • Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?
    • Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
