r33 rb25 gearbox refurb recomendations

Hey guys,

After discovering I need a new clutch after 6 races at roll racing I have decided I misewell get the box fixed too while its out. Currently it crunches going into 4th due to those 3 clips popping off which were found in an oil change. 

Anyone had any personal experience or advice on who to go to in NSW SYDNEY?

 

So far contacted the following with prices:

-Award diff and gearbox seven hills (awaiting call back)

-Smithfield diff and gearbox - $990

-Gearbox express in ingleburn - 1450

 

Cheers

 

Award Diff and Gear are spoken quite well about here. I've not had a gearbox rebuilt, however the turnaround and advice with my Nismo diff they put together for me was fantastic.

They are great on the phone too, give them a bell in the morning :)

cheers guys, ive tried calling award diff and gear and left a message.

Probably hear back from them soon if not give them another buzz.

 

So far everyone I've talked to has recommended the same. Do you guys happen to know if they do a gearbox pickup/drop off service?

 

Cheers

@iruvyouskyrine hey mate they charged me the following:

$1100 for standard rebuild (box out of car and delivered to them) - this includes bearings, seals, gaskets, needle rollers, thrust, washers, circlips.

They will inspect once open and give me a full quote before commencing any works such as gears, shafts or hard parts as they put it.


Have read multiple threads stating the strength of a good condition rb25 box is fantastic. I wonder however if its worth upgrading anything else while its open. Currently only have 330rkw but with next turbo setup and cams should be looking at about 450ish. Anyone have advice or suggestions? Box isnt going in for a couple of weeks.

 

 

Amayama.com sells new rb25 gearbox for $2100 + postage. Could potentially land a new box in Australia for under $3k

Recondition service usually checks internals and if all good seals it back up. At least with a new box from Nissan all gears/syncros are brand new.

Food for thought...

New boxes are available through just jap for 3k, in stock, no waiting. Jeez, i sound like a jj marketing dude. Thats the second time i've mentioned them in 24hrs. If there is any hard parts damaged in op's existing box, brand new starts looking attractive.

Do you get a discount worth passing on? :P

Hmm not a bad idea actually..

 

just had another chat and they are recomending i upgrade to the newer version of the box to avoid the clip issue again for $1100. Which would bring total to $2200

 

 

Originally I was just looking at refurb with possible ppg billet selector fork or plate

New version I assume is what Ive been told can be done  ie: how the r34 box works take a 3rd gear from r34 box and what ever gear changing mechs (I cant remember now) the r34 box uses .... which is not clips and put it in the r33 box to solve the clip issue

 

No change in strength just gets around the clip issue apparently

Or buy a box local (Adelaide) from me for around 3k.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
