Thanks, i will give them a call.

If the car has broken a couple of stock gearboxes at its current power level, IMO you'd be a madman to put another stocker in there, it's just a waiting game until it goes again.

A wise man once told me - buy cheap, pay twice.

Hope it all works out for you though, no-one likes their pride and joy to be off the road.

Yeh, i am thinking i may place an order for the OS Giken cross mission gearset.

[chops]

I think Munro has/ has had one of those, so he might be able to give you some input.

[fieds83]

how do i get in contact?

[chops]

Try PMing him, although I don't know how often he's on here.

hey mate i can get you a 89 32 GTR gearbox for 450 !

you have to swap the bell housing, or just swap the whole gearset

its the cheapest way to do it

and you never know what you will find inside the box

a mate bought a 32 one and it had been changed to the series 3 33 GTR box already

BONUS

let me know if you need a contact mate

couldn't agree more R33 were notorious fro breaking 3rd

Steve @ Manta Racing knows his skylines he rebuilt my front diff without even taking the engine out everywhere else was saying ah that job the engine has to come out and you could eat your lunch of the floor of his workshop very tidy and meticulous

[fieds83]

Yeh, i am going to go with the OS Giken 1st-5th set with upgraded input shaft.

[fieds83]

The gearset is going to take around a month to be delivered, i would like to put a stock standard box or gearset in fot the meantime.

If anyone knows of an 32 or 33 gtr boxes around cheap then let me know as i'd like to put one in this weekend.

Cheers

buy mine for 700 and put your transfer case on it if its only going to be short term.

Finally got a new gearbox without the trouble of waiting for it to come from overseas. The box is being assembled as we speak and consist of an OS Giken close ratio gearset with upgraded input shaft, all new synchros, bearings and seals. Just could not bring myself to buy some worn out wrecking yard box with unknown history. Basically paid the same as it would cost to build one here but i dont have to wait 3-4 weeks for parts to arrive from Japan and then assembley time, labour costs etc. Looking forward to the added reliability.

so all in all how much its it costing you if you don't mind sharing

Mate these set-ups are great...we run one in our racecar and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference from a stocker. We just ran a 9 sec pass at the drags with ours and although i dont punish it, its seeing almost 500AWKW and holding up well. Synchro maintenance is the key to keeping them together.

[Madaz]

is there anything that should be done to normal GTS4 GTR gearbox's changing the oil? anything

Sounds good and will more than meet my needs.

What oil do you run in yours? I was using light weight shockproof in my last box but i have heard mixed opinions. It takes all the noises away in a worn box but when you dismantle a box that has been using it, the oil is stuck to everything but the gears.

DONT use redline shockproof in a new synchro gearbox....a good quality 75-90 gearbox oil such as Castrol Syntrax will do the job. Redline Shockproof is not suited to synchromesh gearboxes.

[fieds83]

No worries i will give the castrol a go.
