If your gonna go to the bother of takin your box out, just bring it down to Davey Murphy in Ballinaboola, Wexford. He'll split it and check it out for you and if any bearings etc need changed he do it. He has built boxes for 1000bhp skylines so I'm sure he'll be able to look after you.

You'll save yourself a fortune and still have the peace of mind

Never knew there was someone here that specialised in rebuilding gearboxes (and was actually good at their job). Thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah, thankfully I learned from my mistakes.. For the sake of spending a few quid on new seals they are worth replacing regardless. It was soul destroying having to change that gearbox and clutch again...

Was the third time in 2/3 months :-(

Great!

What condition is it in? Mileage, power of the car it was in etc? Price?

If you don't mind me asking. Why would you swap a (as you say yourself) working fine gearbox for no real reason? unless your running huge power and doing loads of track days/drag runs a std gtr box should hold up fine as long as its well looked after/oil changed regularly. If you are planning on big power maybe get your own gearbox rebuilt with stronger internal's

Completely valid question.

To be honest I can't really validate it, the current gearbox has always had a problem with synchromash when shifting up/down to 4th... After her last trackday the problem has progressed to 3rd and 5th... I just feel as if repairing/replacing the problem/box now will make the car perfect as it's one of the last things I have to worry about with the cat.

I didn't know there was people here who could (properly) rebuild a gearbox so that's an option I will look into a bit further now and the current box is overdue an oil change. it's been run on standard oil all its life but I got some Redline Heavy synthetic oil to replace all the diff and gearbox oil so there is even a possibility that will resolve the issue as it's almost triple the viscosity of the standard oil.
