Just Got Gearbox Parts From Nissan

[stuartlaw_78]

Hi all,

I just ordered my parts for my gearbox for my R33 RB25DET. I pulled the box apart and determined that nearly all the syncros worn.. (yeah I know, it suprised me too) 1-2 as always, was the worst.

I brought all 6 syncros ( 1-2 and 2-3 are dual syncros for those who didn't know), I brought all new bearings and seals.

In total, it cost me $1380. Not cheap but expected.

I have my gearbox going into fitzgerald racing here in Box Hill Victoria. They are very good and come highly recommended.

I will keep you all posted on how the rebuild goes and how much it ends up costing me. I've also rebuilt my engine myself last year which was an experience... forged pistons, etc... If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Has anybody rebuilt their gearbox themself? If so, how easy or hard was it? I'm thinking of giving it a go myself after a successful engine rebuild.

ooo not bad.

If you're after any info or places to get gearbox recon'd try

www.japanesegearbox.com.au

When i went there, they had no r33 gearboxes, only r32 rebuilt boxes.

Not sure if they as good as the one you stated, but if you're looking around for quotes doesn't hurt to give them a call

Thanks mate...

I have got some quotes but I know one of the guys there and work with his son so I have complete trust in them. I'm the sort of guy that would pay a bit more knowing that the job will get done well and I suppose I know the work they do on racing cars is awesome.

I suppose time will tell, fingers crossed. thanks for your info though mate.

Once again, if anyone has rebuilt their box themself, let me know how you went.

Cheers
