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...

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
