Hey guys.

I've got a 6 speed manual out of a 350Z available for sale.

The gearbox is low mileage (around 20-25 thousand km). I recently had it pulled down and visually inspected by a gearbox specialist, and was told that it is fine.

When I drove my car with it in, the gearbox was fine aside from the 5th gear synchro. While it was not showing visible evidence of damage, it isn't actuating properly and if you don't slide it in to 5th in a specific way it'll grind the gear. Aside from that, the gearbox feels perfect.

It'd be a good buy for someone who's looking at going FI and wants to build up a toughened box. You can drive around on the box if you need to. 5th is usable, you just need to be careful with how you shift it.

The first owner had it replaced under warranty pretty soon after he got the car. I had it for about 10,000km while my original gearbox was getting repaired. The majority of that mileage was low-load highway driving, as I've been putting k's on the car for FBT.

Location: Sydney

Price: $1800 ONO

The gearbox is currently at Pro Concept in West Ryde for pickup.

I haven't had the box pulled apart again since I discovered the 5th gear change issue. When I got the box back it passed a visual inspection, but it would take more work and pulling apart to find out exactly what's going on.

The price is reasonably negotiable, of course. I haven't seen a 6MT box up for sale on any Aussie forums, so I haven't got a ballpark figure to base mine on.

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
