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

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
