Can anyone lend some assistance for a good gearbox reconditioner? i've just received my R33 GTR gearbox from japland and would like to have it looked over before i go ahead and stick it in my stagea. any help appreciated guys

Be warned that if any of the sleeves need replacing they are shit expensive to rebuild (over $2000) as you need to upgrade to R33 GTR Series 3 specs as its all Nissan sell now.

Giving the synchros a freshen up will probably run you about $600 - $1000 as you also need to upgrade to the Series 3 R33 GTR ones.

i don't want anything done to it at the moment unless its absolutely neccessary. all i want is someone to look it over, make sure it won't die as soon as i put it in and that's all. it's only done 80,000km, so i don't expect too much damage, but again it depends on how it was driven.

Also, i couldn't find anywhere called advanced transmissions in mitchell, have they moved recently? yellowpages saisd they're on hoksins st, but i went up and down it at least 3 times and couldn't find them.

PM me if you want to know a place NOT to go to for auto transmissions.

Also, I've heard plenty of good things about Advanced Transmissions.....they're kind just off Hoskins and in a little complex thing from memory.

bear in mind they are a bastard to dissassemble so it's likely to cost you a bit anyway.

Since we're on the topic of gearbox/transmissions, does this Advanced transmissions place do conversions? i've got all my bits to do the conversion, just don't have the time/tools to do it myself

did you find them, they are up on the corner behing some buildings really hard to find, should have told you that sorry. Leshy.

Nup, not yet. i haven't really had a chance to get up there again. i think my transmission needs a service anyway so i'll hit 2 birds with one stone

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
