The syncro's in my R32 GT-R gearbox (4th gear) are basically cactus. I have tried the redline oil change, but to no avail. Can anyone pass comment on which of these three options is preferable (& maybe recommend some workshops):

1: Buy secondhand box.

2: Get existing box reconditioned.

3: Buy an exchange box (Which is what I would do for a Foulcan/Commode - but I am not sure if they are available for GT-R's.)

:)

Djr,

Unless you can exchange your box for a second hand one I'd look at rebuilding yours.. otherwise you end up with a spare box that no one will want as it's broken.. How much power do you have / intend to have? Might be worth getting a cross set for your box from OS or something similar..

Having said that there is a guy selling gtr boxes for like 1k in the for sale section..

:D

sounds like a worn selector fork and ring common fault with r32 gearboxes .my advice rebuild it with new fork and ring ,get internals cryogenically treated and have a tough gearbox that can cop a thrashing with no complaints.had mine done and cost me $850 and have 390rwkw at 7500rpm launches no probs.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
