I am looking at getting my R33 GTR gearbox with OS Giken gearset rebuilt.

Anyone know what I would expect to pay for a rebuild with all new series 3 GTR synchros?

Also, does anyone recommend a good gearbox rebuilder in Melbourne??

I'm looking at rebuilding mine when the new clutch is going in. The quote I got from my mech is around 1.8k-1.9k with labour and oil etc.

I had an occasional crunch into 5th even when changing at a casual rate also the odd crunch on fast changes into other gears. I put in Redline Shockproof Light and it pretty much all went away. It crunched once into 5th soon after putting it in but not again for the last 3-4,000kM. Occasionally I feel a slight grab into one of the other gears, but not a crunch. For my g/box and hip pocket Redline Shockproof Light was the answer.

Crunched hile trying to get into fifth on the weekend. It just didn't want to go in. It was like I wasn't even using the clutch. This was at 1.5hours into a 4 hour drive. Didn't do it again. For now I'll just live with it.

Redline lightweight shockproof gearbox oil.

Get some off Harold from PerformanceHub on eBay.

Mate had exact same problem, the above fixed his.

Not cheap, approx 120ish?? for the oil, but definitely worth it, don't skimp on cheap shit.

That's me :D

Discovered my crunch at Powercruise, Redline sorted it out. Hasn't done it since. Well worth the money I paid for it, +1 for Harold (@ PerformanceLub James :P ).

You'll find just about all boxes will if you try too fast of a gear change. Same with my RB25 box in my 31 and the GTR.

4th to 5th demands you be a little slower I've found for whatever reason. It is the smallest gear too remember.

Doesn't do it if you just give it that half second longer.

why is it one person says this when everybody else says you need new synchros or oil. :unsure:

I will try this before I try new synchros or oil and report back anyway..

Never really noticed an issue with my box apart from the occasional low gear crunch when cold...

untill Phillip Island, only really on the main straight, flat out trying to change into 5th was horribe CRUUNNNNCH!!!!

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
