I was wondering if anyone here has done a gearbox rebuild for their RB (30 box in this case) and how hard it was to put new set of bearings thru it and maybe some syncro rings while im at it..

Any help/tips/warnings/tales-of-failed-home-rebuilds-to-put-me-off/prices-for-a-pro would be great!

Regards,

Brent.

Sorry to hijack, but may be helpful....

 

Has anyone got the part numbers for the main bearings for an r33 (push clutch- earlier?) I wanna buy the bearings from cbc....

 

Or any other boxes for that matter would be helpful to anyone....maybe syncros and seals etc?

I have been in touch with nissan .. theres about $300 worth of main bearings in there, thats with out pin rollers.

Part number for the two main drive bearings are

NI-32203-V5201

NI-32203-14360

and there are 4 counter Shaft bearings aswell, if you need those PM me.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this is for an RB30E gearbox (MF5)

Gearbox bearings for RB20DET/RB30E gearbox are available from CBC and will be in the region of $150, and most likely less (these gearboxes are virtually identical). Just ask them to look up R31 Skyline gearbox - they have catalogues that will list them. Last time I looked there was 3 countershaft and 3 mainshaft bearings.

I can dig out the aftermarket PN's for R32/R33 GTR gearbox if there's any interest.

Does anyone know the designations of the RB gear boxes, and the differences.

I am currently trying to work out if there is a difference between the RB20DET box, and the NA RB30E box.

Bearings are identical between the two, AFAIC, but R32 GTSt gearbox has double synchros on 2nd and 3rd gears - RB30E type uses single synchro on all gears. There are also some gear selector mechanism design differences.

I have recently had mine done syncros, bearings, and clutch. NOT cheap to do. This was for and rb25 5speed for a $1000 extra could buy a 6speed. Any way if 4th is stuffed then you have to replace the hole shaft as the 4th is pressed on and will be wrecked it removed

excellent :P (32GTR box would be the same as the gtst for bearings i assume?)

Do you remember if they had the r33 gtst box on file? I need the main bearings...my syncros are fine.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
