Havnt read anyone else's post but these are the guy's who make them.

http://www.quaife.co.uk/

drop them a email of what parts you want, i doubt they will re-sell them as they are now liscenced to trust.

[Guest Mashrock]

this is why you cant select 5th and 6th

and because of this i also lost a tooth on first gear.

[MYRB30]

that pic nearly made me cry. that looks expensive. very expensive

[Guest Mashrock]

the bit that makes me cry, is that the replacement box at the moment cant handle being shifted frm 2nd to 3rd and has broken also. shame shame shame!!

but i'm without a licence so i dont really give a fark at the moment.

just hope i can get this puppy fixed so someone or myslelf can use it

Least you got to drive yours! I picked up a stolen and recovered one. Idled nicely, started well. Yep I bought it. Drove it on the trailer, drive it off the trailer at home. Start putting the interior etc together before i register it. Then it turned to %$^t! My mate starts it and asks why my oil pressure guage doesn't work. Strip the bottom end. Previous rebuild had too much silicon on the sump and jammed the oil pump relief valve open! Been like it for a while cos the thrust bearing surface on crank is rooted. So i kinda lost motivation for fixing my GTR too!

[Guest Mashrock]

oh dear. yours sounds alot worse!

you should grab your ankles also.

[MYRB30]

Wish it was registered other wise that rb30 sitting in the shed would be going in it. D'oh!

Contact Simon at www.ppgearbox.com.au/ as I know they have gears to suit all different box's.

its more response than power.

i have 34n1's, cams, 1.2 bar, etc.. porbably around 300-350kw?? i am not sure about figures. but my mate who has driven many of the skyline say its definatley one of the quickest hes driven.

this is the shaft stripped down. there be more photos in the galery

[JH32]

excuse my ignorance (as i'm not a gearbox expert!) but which bit exactly is broken?

[JH32]

oh ok now i see .... dayum !!!!!!

i can get it locally machined etc.

this is what i need which is the main shaft on the imput side..

its no problem to get made at all. but i am seeing what quaiffe have to say before i move ahead.

[Guest Mashrock]

Blood Oooozing Everywhere!!!

[GTRgeoff]

Owwww

So got any idea of the damage bill?

[SteveL]

That's a torsional failure of the shaft - probably fatigue. I'd need to see a photo of the fracture surface to be sure, better still I'd prefer to examine it directly.

Looking at the design and the fracture location, the failure is probably related to the design of the splines and their relationship to the bearing. Poor heat-treatment/core strength are possibilities as well. A proper failure analysis would tell the story.

That is so nasty! Best of luck getting it back on the road Mashrock.

I hear the OS gear sets are pretty good, lot better than the trust boxes.

have a look through my pictures. and there is a nice direct photo.

looks like poor heat treating to me..

but i am no expert.

but i also figured that the splines were definatley cut down way too far . they were atleast 1.5cm too far. and as you can see twisted and schnapppp!
