Can anyone help with an R32 GTR early (91) transfer case?

Hi All

Have a suspected blown transfer case, just wondering if anyone can help either with:

1) has or knows of one for sale in good condition and compatible year model (would also consider entire gearbox at the right price if not wanting to separate)

2) knows where and how much to buy one new

3) knows of where to get a reconditioned one

Would really appreciate any advice.

Whereabouts are you?

They are easily rebuild-able by a shop that is familiar with them, and any 32 xfer case should be interchangeable. Infact I think a 33 or 34 would also work but am not sure.

Also, is your car Australian or unusual, 91 GTRs were not available for import as Nissan were selling them locally 91-93?

And finally...why do you think yours is borken?

Hey there

Thanks for the reply. I'm in the ACT. Mine is a grey-market import from some years ago, imported originally under the 15 year rule (hence the 91).

The advice on the transfer case is that it may be rooted due to running different rolling diameter tires front to rear.

I've been told there are different model xfer cases from year to year so trying to get something as close as possible to my year model.

If anyone knows an actual shop that will rebuild one (or sell outright, or on exchange) I would be super grateful if you could give me the details. Preferably Canberra or Sydney, but at this point will consider anywhere.  Apparently there are increasingly few shops that deal with them.

Just spoke to Award, they indicated that it's going to be properly expensive to get a full rebuild, and have suggested finding a good condition second-hand unit from an r32.

I have a call in with Just Jap, but does anyone on the forum have a second-hand transfer case sitting around that is in usable condition?

Thanks for the tip - managed to get in contact with John to pick one up on Friday, so hopefully can get the 'R back on the road relatively soon.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.

      I have a wheel cleaner pokie thing which is a glorified microfibre rag on a stick, and there is not sufficient clearance between the caliper and the barrel to clean that section. I just roll the car forward 500mm and have another shot at each wheel.

      The "rag on a stick" is a easy way to fit in between the wheel spokes into all of the barrel Albeit I do have 10 spokes on the MX5 which limits the access to actually jam my hand in to clean the barrel, but it was also makes much easier to clean the 5 spokes on the Dunnydoore with it as well, as you don't have to worry the  caliper getting in the way if you have at least about 15mm space between the caliper and barrel This of course depends if you actually have the clearance between the barrel and caliper, and the amount of OCD you have to get the barrels as clean and shiny as the face of the wheel The thing is bendy as well so you can actually shape it to conform to the inner lip of the barrel

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW, as well as a basic immobiliser/remote unlock (all basic units give you those 2 things), I would also install a 4g tracker in any car I cared about. Just hide it anywhere that won't be found in a rushed look and preferably get something with a built in battery backup so it stays online for a while when the battery is removed or flat While its not a car, when our car trailer was stolen in that den of crime Sydney about a decade ago, the cops were watching from the bloke's neighbour's lawn within about 2 hours until he started swapping the plates and putting up the gumtree ad.   Obviously it is still not undefeatable (eg parking it up for a few days somewhere without sky sight) but it greatly improves your chances of getting it back quickly and with less damage

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Instead of magic keyphrases I wonder if something can be done with auto complete. Similar to how user names are handled already. When you type '@' and follow with letters, it'll search across all usernames. It might work to have the same for forum topics. Some key to trigger it and then text search across all thread names and it'll insert the name and URL when pressing enter.
