Hey guys,

Nearing the final stages of stripping my R32GTR transmission before blasting and powder coat (then new gearbox).

Mostof the hard work is done, but I’m stuck getting the casing separated from the gears (bell housing is already off).

See pics below - basically the 2 metal pieces which attach to/form part of the shifting mech are stopping me from sliding the gears out in both directions as they’re hitting the housing.

I can’t work out how to remove them so the gears can be removed. Anyone have experience doing this? It looks like there might be pins through them, but not sure if that’s unrelated.

Thanks,

Andrew.

Awesome! That was my suspicion. Got the one facing the bell housing out using a skinny drill bit and tapping it with a hammer.

Rear facing one isn’t having any of it though. Persistence?
 

Any other major hurdles you’re aware of for the rest of the tear down?

Got them out! Thanks guys.

Any thoughts on removing this unit?

Have all the 12mm’s out. Now looks like there’s a large central hex bolt and 2 star shaped bolts to go, if I’m right. Don’t have either of those bits unfortunately.

@Duncan @GTSBoy and one final question. I think my skills may have now outrun the requirement.

I need to remove the part circled in blue (for powdercoating) and it seems to me that the way to do that probably requires a bunch of bearings (in the red area) will need to be pulled. Does that sound right?

might be time to admit defeat and take it to the mechanic.

I applaud you for having a go, but, Mate, you are so far out of your depth it's not funny. If you are having trouble disassembling a transfer case, you have absolutely no hope of disassembling the Gearset from the centre plate, let alone reassembling it correctly.

Seriously before you stuff something up, put the tools down now and take it to a gearbox place please.

Are you really doing all of this just for powder coating ? Just sandblasting the cases looks heaps better and is more practical. And cheaper.

Taking to a recommended transmission specialist today. It all needs to come apart anyway as the gears will be replaced with either a Getrag or PPG box. Agree that sandblasting looks good, but for the level of build we're doing it needs to be coated. The entire underbody (subframes, arms, diff, etc) has been stripped and will be coated while the car's on the rotisserie for paint.

Yes, absolutely. The centreplate is the main structural part of the gearbox. Everything is assembled onto it. If you want to powdercoat it, you have no option but for a complete disassembly of the clusters from it.

Thanks mate. Getting it done this week... professionally ?

So I guess "show quality" street drag then. Sequential or auto in the end I guess. 8's is a tall order with a H pattern.

Sounds like a full on chassis up build, can't wait to see it. You got a build thread for it ? Sounds interesting....

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
