Broken Gear Box

[Inline 6]

Hey kids,

Was at the track and revving 2nd a bit and went to put it fast into 3rd and heard a big crunch followed by it seeming in neutral. Took it out of 3rd n back in and again was like neutral. I got all my others gears just lost 3rd and im left with a bit of pop corn sounding noises while I nursed it back.

who knows there gear box’s?

What models are interchangeable and is it only gtr box’s I can use? I doubt ill put something else in but just food for thought.

Mines a 91 R32 GTR so it’s a push clutch setup.

am i better off getting another 2nd hand box or rebuilding? the snycros were also a lil worn in my box and gave the odd crunch down changing into 4th now and then but other than that it was pretty good.

could get a 25 box there stronger than 32's and don't have the 3rd gear failure that plagued the 32

EDIT

Ben - why are you now quoting people below your response

[DSTROY]

You can use 33GTR box's you just need to turn the slave cylinder around and also swap another part where the input shaft is. I had a 33GTR box in my car but blew the transfer case so put the 32 box back in.

[Luke_ENR34]

Or bUy my old box

[Madaz]

really Chad

there is basically only a couple of gearboxes nissan built RB20, RB25push RB25Pull seen in late model 32 and all 33 GTR's some late model s2 33's might have the pull type gear box too

For some reason my browser is acting wiggy, I deleted my win7 beta installation and installed win7 ultimate final retail, and for some reason the version of firefox i'm using wont let me do what i want to do... and tbh im still installing software so i think its something ill look at later...its annoying the hell out of me tho

lol Vu, you don't double clutch (it's not a truck with a crash box), you flat change if you can trust your synchros and gear selectors.......I wouldn't on a 5 speed GTR box though

If you said 25GTS4 box it would have made more sense.

i've seen 2nd hand GTR boxes going for $600-$1500 second hand.

to rebuild a gearbox with nissan parts is around the $4k mark

or go PPG for around $6-10K (like i did)

my 2 cents.

Os Giken kits are also very good, strong gears at a more racing biased ratio

That's what I'd get if I blew the 33 gtr box...

cheers nigel, was the 6-10k with labour to fix it? i reckon i can get a few boys to help me rip it out n put it in so hopefully thatll save me a little bit

[CRoNic...]

What? I thought 32 GTR boxes were renouned for being super-strong?

[Krishy]

i always thought that the RB25 gearbox's were supposed to be really good and strong :S

[Damo_R34]

doesnt mean that youll never break them!

[Madaz]

Dan - just got off the phone to Shaun at boostworx to see 2 things that my advice of any gearbox will be able to be mated in albeit a rebuild of input shafts and 2 could he rebuild your and that he can your looking at just $1000-1200 just to get the box in and out and labour while its out plus parts not too bad give him a ring if you want any advice
