About $1300 if you're getting a full reco done at the same time. I can recommend you a place that does this, but PM me if you're interested cause I don't want it to be seen as advertising/plugging :P

Hi guys,

Does anybody what it would cost all up to replace 4th gear synchros ??? also any reccomendations of where to get it done in melbourne would be great :P

Cheers Paul

Depending on how bad it is, (mine was fine until the box was up to temp and then it was as though it was 90% not there), you may find that some Pro-Ma MBL8 will fix your problem.

I put about 75mL in my box with new oil (Penrite transaxle 75) and after a few hundred km, i noticed it started to come back to life. 2000km later and you'd not know it was a problem on the street. However, on-track and it starts to misbehave again at higher operating temperatures. I've added some more, but I may have reached its limits of 'repair' in this case. I have an R32 GTR

Its about $35-40 for a 200mL bottle. Give it a go nothing to lose. Just dont put it in an LSD or an auto box because it'll destroy it.

If you have trouble tracking it down, shoot me a PM and i can put you in touch with the guy i get it from here in Perth.

It works as a bit of a bandaid solution that one...good in the short term, particularly if you don't have the cash to repair it now...but the problem can/will get worse down the track and may start to grind away at teeth. Not as bad as masking up and ignoring a bearing noise/rumble, but it's the same idea.

Might work out cheaper to get a replacement Nissan 5 Speed as I believe you can't get R32 GTR synchros anymore and the R33 GTR synchros are so different they need to be changed as a whole set (this is all from vague memory).

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
