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...

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
