5 speed manual?

[tysonVL]

just wondering what a reconditioned 5 speed box will cost,
or a second hand one in good condition?

thanks.

could be any price matelook around everywhere is different if you want to spend otu a bit more throw an r33 box in the bolt straight up

[nasty1]

r32 boxes fit strate in and are cheap as chips

Hey mate, when i had to replace mine it cost like 750 replaced and fitted, roughly 450 for gearbox and that was with 6 month warrenty

[tysonVL]

so.. is it better to get a reconditioned rb30/get it reconditioned, or go for a different box that will go straight in?

[nasty1]

depends how deep your pockets are.rb25 box would be the go

[tysonVL]

my pockets are... very shallow.
But I still need something that will work and be reliable..

[calais24/7]

Im thinking the mf5 which is the rb30 one will be cheaper then an rb25 box

[nasty1]

yeah like 1000 cheaper lol.

last time i purchased an rb20 gearbox that was 550 but ive seen vl boxes for round 400

[tysonVL]

I checked out rb25 gearbox's on Ebay and they start at about $1300.
I'm thinking the $450 sounds better...
Maybe I could pick up a used one in pretty good condition for much cheaper?

[nasty1]

yep sounds like a good plan.whats your future mods?

[tysonVL]

Only on my L's at the moment and because I live in NSW that means no turbo
but one day I will turbo it!
not too sure about other things, ideas?

[calais24/7]

Personnaly this is what i want to do, buy an A8 engine with stock turbo and everything, rebuild everything add a cooler and everything buy a turbo 5spd box rebuild that and when everythings ready ill do a big conversion. Atm i would only get a decent zorst and stezza while your on your p's

[tysonVL]

currently got a 2.5" exhaust with the factory extractors.
I'm thinking throughout my P's I'll get it looking all sweet and save money for open licence, then spend a lot of money rebuilding the engine.
No need to think about engine plans and all that for now though..

[calais24/7]

I'd be replacing the extractors then, this may sound silly but right yourself a list of what you wanna do. And for the parts and everything you wanna run find out how much it is and everything come up with like a plan of what your going to do when. Also ct is a good place for turbo talk

[tysonVL]

ahhhh yeah, I sort of have already got a draft list like what you're talking about, no time period, costs or order to it at all, but here it is anyway:
- K&N Panel Filter
- New bumper set + respray bumpers asteroid silver
- New steering wheel
- Paint rocker cover
- Clean up engine bay
- Recondition gearbox
- Fix dent in rear LH door
- Respray Voodoo Blue over Asteroid Silver
- VY SS 17"s
- Turbo
- Replace stock extractors
- New seats front and rear
