Here, in Moscow. My friend, who drive silver US GT-R. He has only 2000 miles on it.

Yesterday after some starts with 911 Turbo, he try to start, when "BOOM" from the rear of car. After that car start only in 2 gear, then shift 4 gear, and drive max. 34 km/h (20 mph), and big noise from rear.

He try to order new Gearbox, but its not in stock in USA and nobody knows when it will be where. JDM gearboxes have different electronic. And no official GT-R in Russia, no parts, no service. Cost of GB in USA 12.000$

That do you guys think, may be any advise for us, where we can take new gearbox?

ya, i guess so. i also had a russian friend who always did stuff like that too. tho not with such expensive cars. :(

launch control will be the death of this car sadly. but aftermarket should make them better.

Nice!!! The tranny really doesn't look that complicated. I would tackle the job for sure.

There are several factors that make reassembly very difficult. If you are not careful during disassemble, you will miss some very important steps during reassembly.
