Best Person/workshop To Work On Gearbox Of Gtr32....


Recommended Posts

Well i'm thinking of getting some work done on the gearbox of my gtr32, maybe putting in OS gears and dropping in new synchros and etc, anyone here can recommend some workshops/mechanics who are good with gearboxes and charge reasonable prices?

By the way, can anyone tell me if it's possible to drop in a GTR34 gearbox into a GTR32 without too much hassle? As in will the clutch need to be changed as well or other parts need to be changed when a GTR34 gearbox goes into a GTR32?

I think I read an article in a recent ZOOM magazine that said it wasn't worth the hassle as the R34 gearbox is no stronger than any of the others. Your probably better off going with plan A and putting tuffer running gear in the box you have now.

No but its a hella lot newer isnt it.

well if your actually after someone to rebuild your gearbox, or at the very least give you advice on its condition.

get hold of gabba gearboxes in ashmore on the goldcoast.

they have been recomended by a few workshops.

I thought they were in Woolloongabba. Do you know if they have moved or do they have multiple locations.

They are quite good and do many of the strong RB box rebuilds out there.

it would appear that there are 2 of them with the same name but it does not appear that they are linked.

i took my last 33 gtst box to them for apull down and inspection on the coast here, but decided to go for a 2nd hand box with a warranty, only trouble is, just outside of 12 months this one has let go as well.

but yes i did think it was strange they were on the coast with a name like gabba gearboxes

I have heard that charlies is getting new R33 GTR boxes for around the $3500 landed...with transfer case etc?? the later getrag R34 GTR box is supposed to be better i thought than the standard GTR box, not to sure...but they are prob as expensive as getting a PPG dog upgrade or an os gearset?? My friend had his PPG dog upgrade installed at charlies and now godzilla MS look after it. I think that Godzilla MS might know somone?

i think that on late model R32's the cluch mechanism changed to be the same as the R33's and R34's (push or pull cant remember) so there is little modification required....if it is an early model R32 then there is some modification required, but i dont think its anything to major.

Cheers,

Francisco

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
