I am looking at getting my R33 GTR gearbox with OS Giken gearset rebuilt.

Anyone know what I would expect to pay for a rebuild with all new series 3 GTR synchros?

Also, does anyone recommend a good gearbox rebuilder in Melbourne??

I'm looking at rebuilding mine when the new clutch is going in. The quote I got from my mech is around 1.8k-1.9k with labour and oil etc.

I had an occasional crunch into 5th even when changing at a casual rate also the odd crunch on fast changes into other gears. I put in Redline Shockproof Light and it pretty much all went away. It crunched once into 5th soon after putting it in but not again for the last 3-4,000kM. Occasionally I feel a slight grab into one of the other gears, but not a crunch. For my g/box and hip pocket Redline Shockproof Light was the answer.

Crunched hile trying to get into fifth on the weekend. It just didn't want to go in. It was like I wasn't even using the clutch. This was at 1.5hours into a 4 hour drive. Didn't do it again. For now I'll just live with it.

Redline lightweight shockproof gearbox oil.

Get some off Harold from PerformanceHub on eBay.

Mate had exact same problem, the above fixed his.

Not cheap, approx 120ish?? for the oil, but definitely worth it, don't skimp on cheap shit.

That's me :D

Discovered my crunch at Powercruise, Redline sorted it out. Hasn't done it since. Well worth the money I paid for it, +1 for Harold (@ PerformanceLub James :P ).

You'll find just about all boxes will if you try too fast of a gear change. Same with my RB25 box in my 31 and the GTR.

4th to 5th demands you be a little slower I've found for whatever reason. It is the smallest gear too remember.

Doesn't do it if you just give it that half second longer.

why is it one person says this when everybody else says you need new synchros or oil. :unsure:

I will try this before I try new synchros or oil and report back anyway..

Never really noticed an issue with my box apart from the occasional low gear crunch when cold...

untill Phillip Island, only really on the main straight, flat out trying to change into 5th was horribe CRUUNNNNCH!!!!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
