hey all, i have a r32 gtst. and i think the gerbox or sincros are stuffed. changing from 1-2nd at high revs it crunches bad, real bad!!! it takes about 3 shots to get it into gear. but driving around normaly it is fine. some people have told me that it could be the clutch or bent clutch falk because it realeses right at the floor (is this normal in 32s) but there is no slippage. can anyone help me out?

i changed the gearbox oil to that redline stuff. it helped a bit but didnt fix the problem.

if it were the sincros whould it be cheaper to go for a new gearbox? and if so i heard that the rb25 box bolts straight up. is this true? and are these much stronger?

thanks leigh.

It doesnt matter where the clutch releases as you would have no idea if its aftermarket or not. Example - my r33 used to release real far out (almost at the end) though with a new excede heavy duty clutch it releases and grips real quick (same as yours). IF it doesnt slip most likely its not the clutch, though it could be worn. Best bet is to go speak to a gearbox shop near you, but be careful - theyre fairly expensive to rebuild.

      My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
