Hey people,

I've spent almost my last money putting a secondhand gearbox in my r32 gtst, only to find the input shaft bearing sounds like a supercharger. The gearbox is really good and changes smoothly apart from this problem. Is ANYBODY in Melbourne able to change the bearing for cheap for me? Or know of a place that would do it for cheap? Im pretty sure I can take the gearbox out myself to save money...

Anyone?

Thanks in advance

Bobby.

It wont be the release bearing as when the pedal is released its not doing anything.

If the noise is when clutch released it means it could be gearbox/drivetrain related.

Where did you get the reco from? I hope you didnt get it from a certain place in Kilsyth, I had dramas with a reco'd box, was worse then the one with the shattered bearing in it. PM me if you think its the same place.

I would take it back to the place and check everything while the box is out, should have done that when it was out before ie replacing the relese bearing and clutch.

Turns out the gearset was frigged, they rebuilt it again using the gearset from the original box I sold them for $200, and now it's crunching into 2nd with new synchro's... long story short they've rebuilt it 4 times and are fed up, and are now looking to buy another box and rebuild it for me. Lucky it's all under warranty!

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
