Hi, I was wondering if you kind people would be able to name some places that do a good job at rebuilkding r33 boxes, and the prices paid.

I'd be most likely looking at the seals, bearings and synchros of the first 3 gears.

SK, I remember you saying somewhere that it'll cost about $500 in sydney. Where abouts is this?

Thanks

we just got two GTR boxes done here in Newcastle. One was $660 and the other was $330. pretty good value i think. Price also depends on what needs replacing.

Hi fellars

Thanks a lot for the good info. I guess it's been something that i've been dreading because I thought it was going to be very expensive.

But in the long run, I think if the box is going to be fixed for $500 give or take, that'll be a lot better than buying a replacement which will be at least $1k, and may have the same problems too.

Am I right in saying this?

I'd be interested to know this as well as I'm going to be looking to get my sr20 box rebuilt in the new year...

97r33gtst-whowa-typeM I've thought about it as well and I think you're right. Plus while you get it recond you can ask them how much power it's good for and you know you could pretty much eat of it.

When I got my v8 box redone it felt good when I got it back :)

I spoke to anthony and he quoted me 880 for 1,2,3 synchros, bearings and seals. I don't really think that this is a good price. Fellars, can anyone get me a better price in sydney?

did you mention Jett at all and ask him?

    • I've sent JaseR33 a private message in the hope he gets an email and contacts you
    • I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.
    • There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.
    • Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.   
    • I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst
