My gearboxes turned up today, I bought two boxes with transfer boxes attached, one with noisy bearings for spares and one that should be in full working condition.
Well I never really realised how big and heavy the GTIR gearbox with transfer box attached actually is  Shocked I'm only small and I've had to about break my back getting these things in the garage and now I've just realised they're so big they're taking up any spare space I had in the garage  Embarassed 

Oh well at least I've got some spares so if I do have gearbox problems in the future it shouldn't be a major catastrophe because I'll have spares Smile I'm suppressed the GTIR even moves with how heavy some of the parts are  Laughing

think about 90kg the pair so yeah there a bit weighty

worth keeping spares now bill, weve only got one box in at the mo and don't know condition of that so il just pull it apart for spares.
some of the gearbox parts are now no longer obtainable from Nissan so well worth keeping the spares

Bloody 90kg! No wonder my spine was about popping out Laughing I only weigh about 60 kg  pale 

Lol true Darren I'm always going to try and keep a stock of spare parts from now on so at least you've got somebody just down the road to come and raid parts from Laughing

I got a really good deal on my gearboxes, £170 delivered for two gearboxes and transfer boxes, one with noisy bearings so only good for spares or a rebuild and one that is supposed to be working, the guy who I got it off bought it for spares like I have but never used it so he only has the word of the seller he bought it from hence why I got it so cheep. Even if they are both knackerd hopefully they will still be with it for salvaging parts because as you say bob Nissan no longer stock them and they will soon be difficult to get a hold of
