Gearbox Repairer Recommendation

Hi Guys,

My gearbox in my ECR33 is crunching badly shifting from 3rd to 4th when under power. I'm assuming it is a synchro issue as the rest of the gears shift fine.

Can anyone recommend a workshop in/near Sydney that have experience repairing these boxes?

Cheers

Chris

Award gearbox and diff in Seven Hills are excellent, and reasonably priced. They have done heaps of RB boxes.

But before you reco the box, try using redline lightweight shockproof oil. It is pretty good at masking synchro problems.

Or just go granny shifting :P

I used this place to re-co my box 2 weeks ago. I got them to put a full set of bearings through it plus replace 3rd-4th-5th synchro's. I dropped it off wed morning and it was ready thursday arvo. It set me back $1100 which is alot better than risking buying a second hand box

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      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.
