Anyone had a gearbox rebuilt locally and if so by whom, any bad experiences pm me. I am thinking of talking to southern differentials. As i have had work done there.

Car has a stuffed transfer case at the moment, and the gearbox isn't the greatest, so thinking of a rebuild or perhaps going to an r33 gtr gearbox. Also does anyone know of any rebuild kits out there?

I currently have an R33 GTR gearbox in mine. Second is a bit crunchy. I'll be rebuilding this box at some stage with the OS Giken kit and maybe a hollinger shaft. Interested in this, I haven't decided who will do this for me yet.

Yeah saw it there yesterday, Just saw somone pull up in a 4wd and trailer and saw this thread...put them together...but alas I was wrong,

As Blitzxtr prob said, Award Diff and Gearbox have runs on the board but they are a fair hike from Canberra.

yeah Terry reuilds these things in between spoonfuls of weetbix during breakfast. He did the PPG helical dog in my car and its mint. He also knows just what bits need ordering when doing OS conversions as the bits required are not always the same. This seems an issue with other shops doing OS boxes, handing the customer a notchy noisy box and telling the customer that its noisy and notchy due to the gearset. OS gearsets when installed correctly using the right list of update parts do not whine or are notchy, they shouldn't even be able to pick it from a stocker.

He also does transfer cases.

Well Ive decided I will be getting the box rebuilt at award when the parts come in, just a standard rebuild to r33 specs. In the scheme of things it's not that much more expensive than getting a 2nd hand gtr box, which is a bit of a lottery. The local places don't seem to have the experience with these boxes that Terry has.

about 1400$ in parts plus labour of taking the box out and rebuilding it.

replacing:

input shaft, 2nd synchro ring, 3rd synchro ring, 4th synchro ring, 1st/2nd selector sleeve, 3rd, 4th selector sleeve, 3rd/4th selector hub,

Energiser springs & pads for 1st/2nd/3rd/4th

Well have the car back now, and overall happy. A few things though, be prepared for a few weeks without the car just incase. Due to the wrong parts being delivered twice by nissan, my job took 2 and a half weeks. Box overall feels nice and smooth, does feel a bit different to shift than other r32 boxes ive tried. I think this might be due to the hks short shifter in the car, would be interested in seeing what another box with a short shifter feels like. Finally got rid of my bearing noise as well.

p.s don't let your transfer case run out of oil lol, thats what happened to mine, i feel retarded.

Hey Chris,

You can have a drive of mine one day soon, I have a TOMEI short shifter in my RB25 box... Should be a good comparison, although my box isnt exactly new. :)

Don't necessarily have to drive it, just want to check the throw and the feel compared to mine, even just going through the gears when the car is off I can tell the feel is different to a normal shifter. Happy to let you test drive mine if you want in return.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
