What Is Gtr Gearset Worth ?

[quicknissan]

If you wamt a bearing kit for a GTR (or any other car or engine) that is as good as nissan, but is not as expensive, call Gosford Bolts and Bearings. Ask for Brett or Garry. Phone 02 43254216. They will post anywhere in Australia and supply bearing and seal kits for all engines and gearboxes plus many other parts you may need. Good prices and the best quality available. I have been getting parts there for years.

Trouble is no-one (cbc's etc) has any listings for a r33 series 1 box.

Only options here for me is to pull the bearings out the box first, and then see if i can get them matched up (hopefully)

if i cant, then i have to fork out the stupid price nissan wants for the oem items.

I was hoping someone has done it before, and could confirm it could be done, even better supply me with some part numbers.

SteveL - Is there a cheaper alternative to doing a bearing kit through a series 1 r33 gtst box?

I dont wanna have to pay $450ish for a bearing set, if they are available through CBC etc....

Anyone not used genuine bearings for a rebuild before??

I paid $230 from memory for all the shaft support bearings in an R32 GTR gearbox, and that was through a local bearing specialist, not Nissan. R33 GB is very similar to GTR, but it would be best to have the bearings out of the GB and take them along to make sure of positive ID. There are also specialist auto bearing catalogues which most bearing place have which lists all the bearings in a wide range of cars.....whether that covers imports I don't know. Sometimes they can also cross-reference from the manufacturers part number.

I'm afraid the news is bad. We've attempted to trace the 3rd gear PN in terms of the Nissan model it came from (a reverse directory look-up, if you like). There's no doubt that these parts are not for any Nissan Model sold officially in Australia. We can also say they are not for a JDM R32 GTR or R33 GTR. A quick check of some other JDM models in the JDM version of FAST turned up a blank as well (eg R32/R33 GTSt). Theoretically if you knew all the JDM model identifiers it would be possible to track these down......eventually, but it would be a very tedious job.

Since these parts all have 'V5' in the last part of the PN it's likely they're for the same type of gearbox.

Sorry for the bad news, and there's really not much more I can do.
