R33 Turbo G/box Rebuild

[B0oStEr]

I've searched and this seems a popular topic but there is very little info on where to actually source parts.

Ok bearings are easy to find and you can get the synchros genuine.

I rang Nissan and a set of synchros would cost $613.

They said there appeared to be 2 rings needed for 5th gear so six rings in total.

Interestingly the part numbers are the same as '95 V6 navara 2wd synchros.

I rang a bearing supply place and they quoted me about $200 for the basic bearings seals and gaskets or just over $400 for a full bearing/seal kit with all the needle rollers etc.

They said they might be able to supply synchros but wanted my vin no. which I couldn't give them as my car is an r32.

I bought my r33 box 2nd hand and don't know what year model it came from but it has a push clutch.

Are there differences in g/box parts between different years ecr33?

Could someone please post legit vin no. for each year '93 - '97 manual ecr33 so I can compare the synchro part nos.

I'm waiting on a email reply from a company in the us advertising rebuild kits for the FS5R30A gearbox which is the same number box as the r33 turbo, 300zx, 2wd navara and gtr box in 4wd form.

Has anyone here found the synchros etc cheaper than buying from nissan?

The parts I've priced for a basic freshen up assuming no parts are broken is over $1000 so $850 including labour for a full rebuild sounds too good to be true.

What is wrong with your box that it needs rebuilding?

It might be a good idea to make sure you know what parts are to be replaced and ask for all the old parts back.
