Just got back from Heathcote where i blew my 3rd gear to bits, managed to drive home without it (and it making some funny noises), luckily made it....

So now i need a new gearbox... Would much prefer a Series3 R33 GTR one since they have a stronger 3rd gear, but realise they are a bit harder to find...

Prefer in melbourne for pickup, unless you can organise delivery at a good rate.

Prices + options. I haven't had the pleasure of rebuilding a blown box, but approx. price...

1) 2nd hand box - $800 to $1500

2) Rebuild your gearbox to std spec - the labor would be around $400, so add parts?

3) OS Giken gearset - $3000 for gears, ? for upgrade parts, $400 labor

4) Trust box - was trying to sell mine for $8k, dunno of any others around

5) Pfitzner gearset - $7500+ for 5 speed, add more for billet selectors + center plate

6) OS Giken sequential 6 speed - $17500 on otomoto site

7) Hollinger seq box - $18,000+ depending on options. Last time I rang them it was $22,000 for the seq version with shifter display.

You can probably get better prices than those listed, even more so if you some work on it yourself.

Edit: Whoops I deleted my old post. Hah oh well...

DoughBoy: thanks for that

What are the prices of all those?

I'm not running huge power and nor do i plan to

gearset+ rebuild/install of it would be 4-5k right?

trust box's i would hate to think how much they are

rebuilding mine, wouldn't be cheap either... any idea on costs for that one, considering i know i've killed 3rd totally, and no idea what condtion the rest of the gears are in....

Another option:

I can get a brand new gearbox from nissan (they have 3 in stock in Melbourne) for $3300 delivered

I would know then that it is brand new, ie not about to die, no risk, also i would think being brand new it would be the latest model, ie Series 3 box with stronger 3rd gear...

anyone know anything about this?

You have a gtst? they are different to GTRs... gtrs put alot more strain on the box's having 4wd...

I was at the drags at heathcote... its a common problem with GTR's for 3rd gear to go, but it also may have been something to do with me shifting hard/fast... i wont be doing that anymore, ill be shifting softer, guiding the gear in, rather than slamming it from now on...
