Rebuilding Teh Gearbox Of Doom.

[Anfanee]

Anyone rebuilt a 26 Gearbox in ACT? and know rough estimate on costs looking at? Fix the 4th gear of doom......

Depends what you rebuild it with.

Only people I know that have ever had it done (myself included) went to Sydney. I can find out who was used though if you're interested.

I never had issues with 4th gear. First box I did 3rd and in the second box (33 vspec one) I did 2nd.

cool thanks Kat. Ill chat to the guys at ultimate tomorrow and see if they recommend anyone. Otherwise i might have to go to Sydney.

I've heard nothing but good about Award Diffs and Gearbox.

Just waiting to hear back from CRD as to who they use. I just bought the gearset and paid for it they organised the rest for me.

Cheaper to buy another box lol

Cheaper to buy another box lol

That is also true a second hand gbox would be cheaper, but condition isnt a certainry

Yeah you can never be sure by just buying another box. Depends what power the car is making and what Anthony's goals are with it too.

After going through 2 boxes, I think building was a better option to me but that said I flog the f**k out of my car and launch it at 9.5k

I spoke to one of the CRD boys and although brilliant their guy doesn't take external customers. They did say Award is very good.

This is true ^

I priced building a box. Just in parts the cost scared me lol. Least i can do it myself if i was that way inclined.

Either way, no cheap way around it. Id be guessing 2k to source and fit replacement box with new fluids. Probably 5k or so to rebuild as standard and then well into 5 figures for an upgraded one. (All guesswork on prices)

Going to just leave this here... http://www.rhdjapan.com/os-giken-close-gear-kit-5-speed-nissan-rb26dett-input-shaft.html

That's a really good price. Not sure if just on sale or if our dollar is just really strong against the YEN right now.

Sub $3k delivered is a good price indeed

Could this be fitted in to a 25 box? What else is needed?
