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.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
