lou Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 So I am able to aquire (for free) a 1991 GTi pulsar. The problem being it has a stuffed gearbox. What I need to know is 1, Do they have the LSD or non-LSD as standard? 2, Would the non-LSD work if I found one cheaper than the LSD model? 3, Anyone got one lying around or know where a cheap one is? Local wreckers want $695. No fucking way in hell am I keen to spend anywhere near that amount. Hoping for around 1-2 hundy and a swift reach around.

davidian Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 gtis have LSD, but you should be able to fit any SR box (providing its the same cable or hydro clutch). assuming we're talking SR18DE may be able to pillage a primera one cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yep, SR18DE cable pull. I'm guessing a gearbox of a GA16 wouldn't fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 not sure but i wouldnt gamble on it. both series are dime a dozen tho, I'd look at a cheap primera box. let your fingers do the walking. I've got a n15 gti and it's sweet, even if you pay 600 for a box that's been checked over thats still fuck all man for a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock-Lee Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Ga and SR have heaps diff bell pattern. Do the FWD boxes have a split bell housing? if not then a definite no, if yes then maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 600 is more than I'd be wanting to spend on 'this' car. Specialy as I would only be flicking it off for a grand or so in a couple of months. I've read that some primera box's take shorter half shafts. Any idea which ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkoutnz Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The LSD and non LSD have to different length driveshafts mate, and different inner cv's. If you got yourself a non LSD gearbox you'd need the driveshaft from one of the NZ new SR driven pulsars (rare as hens teeth?). However your choice of LSD gearboxes include the N14 gti, the N15 gti, vzr and autech or various primeras came out with LSD. If you find a hydraulic one you can swap over your cable shifting mechanism very easily. Hope that points you in the right direction!

lou Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Awesome mate. So the sr16ve box will fit too then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkoutnz Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yep the SR16VE box is perfect, has a slightly closer ratio too. You'll need to swap your speedo sender to the cable one for the N14 as the vzr one is electric but it's only one 10mm bolt = 2 min job.

R3spct Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Whats wrong with the box? You can sometimes swap the gearset from a non lsd box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Havnt got it yet. He told me he was driving along and it went 'BANG' (his words) now its stuck in fourth. Can engage the clutch but wont go out of or into any other gear. Can still be driven if you ride the clutch at low rev's but has't been.

lou Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I figured they would be the most expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
