25.01.2022 Another big PPG drag set build for this ADM evo 8. ISF micropolished for improved wear on the gears and dogs.

25.01.2022 Supercharged RX8 running a PAR 1-4 straight cut synchro set. Really nice car. Personally I think the RX8 platform is highly underrated. Its a very capable chassis and with the extra poke of the supercharger (190rwkw) this one is fast, too.

25.01.2022 K series 6 speed with upgraded coarse helical PAR close ratio gears, Quaife LSD, and a 5.06 final drive for this Honda-swapped Lotus Elise.

24.01.2022 SOLD For sale $3,290 outright.... Evo 8/9 6-speed gearbox. Rebuilt with new genuine synchros, seals and bearings. Bead blasted housing. Really mint low KM gear set. Would suit a really nice stock/bolt-on power level car. Can discuss exchange prices for 5 or 6 speed, too.

24.01.2022 PPG evo X dog box build. Quite a solid unit!

23.01.2022 For sale Honda B series (hydraulic clutch) gearbox $4,350 exchange $5,500 outright... Better in every way compared to new: 4.78 final drive Brand new genuine synchros, hubs, sleeves, springs Brand new MFactory helical LSD Crack tested, shot peened and ISF micropolished gears Bead blasted housing Brand new speedo sender, selector fork, detents genuine bearings, seals, lock nut, snap ring Mixed ratio with longer 4th which will do 130MPH at redline with standard diameter tyres 3.23 / 2.05 / 1.458 / 0.96 / 0.787

23.01.2022 We don't build Subaru 5 speeds anymore, but we do still offer our crack testing, shot peening and ISF micro-polishing service on your gear sets, whether Subaru or any other make. They really do come up a treat. Lab tests by SAE and AGMA show the results of these processes (when done to the standards they dictate, which we do) are very positive - less likely to crack, less likely to pit, lower noise and lower oil temperature under torque.

23.01.2022 Off to its new owner.

22.01.2022 IAS Rally Teams rear diff in for a health check, and to reconfigure the clutch plates in the SuperTraction LSD, from a 2-way to a 1.5-way with 80% breakaway. While we were in there we isotoropic super-finished the plates, cam housings and side gears for smoother engagement and better durability.

22.01.2022 My box all built ready to swap in behind my boosted BEAMS project.

22.01.2022 New Product Release Were manufacturing a batch of bevel pinions to suit Evo 1-3 / Galant VR4 / Lancer GSR centre diffs. These little "spider gears" are prone to chewing out from hard launches and handbrake turns which cause a significant speed differentiation between the front and rear axles.... We also offer 4-spider conversions which add 2 more spiders into the centre diff. Furthermore, popular aftermarket gear sets such as PPG and PAR have provision to run 4 spiders in their centre diff carriers. In all cases we need to supply extra bevel pinions. They are hard to find in good used condition these days, and also hard to get and expensive from Mitsubishi. These are made to OEM standard with a superior grade steel, and will also be isotopic super-finished. Not only are they better and stronger than the genuine items, theyre cheaper, too. Priced at $242 for a pair. Available from 20/09.

22.01.2022 Evo X transfer case set-up for a big powered street car. The crown wheel and pinion is Brena Corse, coupled with a Wavetrac LSD. When you see the paint on the teeth, we are checking the mesh of the gears to ensure the set is going to run in such a way that the load will be evenly distributed across the teeth. It tells us whether we need to adjust the pinion or crown wheel position via shims, to optimise reliability. With well over 500kw at all four 265 semi slicks, this set needs all the optimisation it can get.

22.01.2022 We'll be fully closed until 25/11 - let's give this shutdown thing a chance to work.

21.01.2022 Seems to be skyline month.

20.01.2022 For sale $990 Rare 8:37 (4.625) R200 crown wheel and pinion.... Brand new, genuine Nissan. Perfect for drift, gravel, and some circuit applications.

20.01.2022 Nissan Silvia S15 6-speed for sale Upgraded and strengthened $3,499 exchange (as long as exchange main shaft and housing is usable)... Or $4,249 outright Our world famous C-clip modification to a new genuine countershaft, makes 4th gear much stronger All new genuine bearings, synchros 1-6 + Reverse Shot peened and ISF micropolished gears, shafts, hubs and sleeves for improved strength and reliabilty Bead blasted housings Meticulous attention to detail in assembly with new clips and springs If youre interested, jump on it as these are very popular and getting hard to find.

19.01.2022 Starting off the year with something a bit spesh. One of the first full billet front R32-R34 GTR front diff/sumps, probably on the planet. Very nice bit of kit out of NZ. Complemented with one of our own 4.1 crown wheel and pinions, Quaife LSD and everything perfectly dialled in.... What a beast!

19.01.2022 Exciting stuff here at Neat Gearboxes. We are moving premises, exactly one block away haha. Check out our new assembly room, getting prepared for paint

19.01.2022 Evo 7 - X ACD clutches all ISF micropolished. Reduces heat transfer into the oil, critical in motorsport applications.

18.01.2022 Guess the new product

18.01.2022 WRX front crown wheel and pinion crack tested, shot peened and ISF micropolished. This service is $350 for any crown wheel and pinion up to 9".

18.01.2022 Brena Corse Australia diff tubes for evo 4-9 5-speed transmissions in stock. Prevents gearbox and transfer case damage from hard launching. $450 each.

18.01.2022 Wavetrac LSD install and a nice little freshen up for this Evo 9 transfer case.

16.01.2022 Big front clutch upgrade for this Nissan R35 GT-R. This thing is off its chops and getting ready to break hearts at roll racing.

16.01.2022 One of our billet extension housings for Evo 4-6 transfer cases. This enables them to run the larger evo 7-9 output spline (a special Brena Racing Dept crown wheel and pinion set is required for this). This one is heading out to Switzerland, destined for a hillclimb car that launches hard in the Alps.

15.01.2022 Big boy street setup for a tough Evo 7. 4.1 final drive, carbon synchros, billet diff tube and straight cut 4th gear. Shot peened and polished of course.

15.01.2022 Our first look at the Pfitzner Performance Gearbox - PPG sequential for the r32-r34 skyline platform. Looks the goods! Made right here in Adelaide.... Destined for a drift car for this lucky customer.

14.01.2022 Special final drive ratio for this Brena Corse Australia evo 9 dog box build (13:63 (4.84:1)). Notice the finish on the gears. After heat treatment they are profile ground to ensure that the distortion that occurs during heat treatment is eliminated. Very few manufacturers go to this level of finish, and its part of what sets Brena Corse apart from others on the market. We have 2 full Evo 4-9 dog gear sets and a range of final drive ratios in stock, if anyone else is interested in the best.

14.01.2022 Some very special Porsche 911 (915) gear options from Brena. Amazing quality as always.

14.01.2022 B20 powered CRX gearbox freshened up and strengthened. All new synchros, sleeves and bearings, and a crack test, peen and polish.

13.01.2022 My own personal project. Its going behind a boosted, built BEAMS motor, so we have to throw everything at it to see if we can get it to hold together. I'm running a hybrid J160/AZ6 ratio combo, with our circlip modification. The strongest 1st/2nd, and a cruisy 6th gear.... I'm also testing out whether cryo treatment on the housings will make a difference in strength - my theory is that it should hold the shafts together a little better. All peened and polished with our usual careful assembly, all new genuine parts. Getting a little bit excited about this project now.

12.01.2022 Hi! I (Sam) am having a week off to relax and recharge, tinker on some of my own projects and catch some fish with my kids. Meanwhile the boys are at the workshop to receive and dispatch, and carry on with the many processes that go into building a gearbox the way that we do.... Ill do my best to keep up with communications here and via email, but wont be taking calls this week. Ill be back into it on 03/08. In the meanwhile, heres a pic of where my XT500 restoration has been up to for the last six months or so, which should clearly explain why I need to take some time off!

12.01.2022 OS Giken synchro 5 speed gear set into this Skyline R33GTR tarmac rally car. Built into a PPG billet sandwich plate.

10.01.2022 AE86 T series diff with new genuine shot peened and ISF micropolished 4.77 crown and pinion, new 2-way Cusco LSD and a solid pinion collar.

10.01.2022 Still available after a sale fell through. Snatch up a genuine bargain!

09.01.2022 We've had a bit of mixed communication from the South Australian government regarding the lockdown specific to the vehicle repair industry, resulting in us taking the day off today.

08.01.2022 Subaru R180 pinion cracked. As part of our peen and polish service, we first check for cracks by the magnetic particle / black light method. It can show up problems that you cant see with the naked eye. Picking this problem at this stage has saved this rally driver a DNF and potentially expensive damage to other components in the differential.

08.01.2022 Awesome little Mazda RX4 4-speed getting tricked up.

08.01.2022 PAR straight cut 1-4 and final drive for this Targa-spec Pulsar GTiR. Billet 3-4 fork upgrade, all new genuine synchros, seals and bearings. Should go beautifully.

07.01.2022 Can anyone recommend a local (SA based) company to get stickers made up? Want to support locals and need a motherload made up!

07.01.2022 Something very special. This Albins gen II gear kit for the GR6 is off the chain. Check out the gear width compared to stock on first gear!... We are assembling this for a "billet everything" build for a local circuit focussed beast. If you're pushing your GTR deep into the 1000ftlb+ torque range, this is the kit to have. Exclusive to us in Australia - get in touch and we can talk about getting some real reliability into your monster.

07.01.2022 One of the cool things about blasting things up during a rebuild is that we pick up alot of cracked housings during the process. Better to pick it up at this point rather than after the rebuild, only to have it fail! This piston housing in the ACD assembly in evo 7-X transfer cases often gets over looked by other builders.... Unfound, this crack would have allowed oil to bypass behind the clutch piston, and would have lead to leaks and an inoperative active centre diff.

06.01.2022 Evo X transfer case for a beasty drag car. Brena Corse Australia crown wheel and pinion, wavetrac LSD and our meticulous attention to detail. Ready for some neck snapping launches.

06.01.2022 PPG drag set for an Evo, ready for roll racing.

05.01.2022 Those Mitsubishi 3000GTO big boy diff covers are ready. 3 left, $1400 each including GST. If you want one dont wait, as its not likely we will do another run without significant interest.

05.01.2022 Wierd looking gearbox, this one.

05.01.2022 Neat Gearboxes' own BMW E46 M3 4.1 ratio crown wheel and pinion after shot peening. We have a few pairs of these in stock now.

05.01.2022 Evo 6 transfer case With evo 9 splines Brena coarse tooth crown wheel and pinion with carbon Lafer coating Billet extension housing MFactory LSD... We are the only shop in the world that can make the CP (Evo 4-6) transfer with CT (Evo 7-9) splines. Designed here, with the housings made here and the Crown wheel and pinion made in Italy by Brena Racing Dept

05.01.2022 Mazda RX7 gear set crack tested, shot peened and ISF micropolished for a customer. We can do this for most gear sets even if you want to do the disassembly and reassembly. Awesome for classic, expensive and hard to get parts as it increases durability.

04.01.2022 Brand new genuine Silvia S14a gears straight out of the Nissan packets.

04.01.2022 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R front diff all built up. Quaife LSD, and peened and polished gears.

04.01.2022 Prototyping an oil guide that cant be purchased from Mitsubishi on our 3D printer. It feeds oil to the small pinion bearing in evo 7, 8 and 9 transfer cases. They are often damaged after a gear explosion, and render the case unusable for this relatively simple part.

04.01.2022 Nothing held back for this Tarmac Evo 9 transfer case. Custom anodised billet housings, diamond like carbon coated gears from Brena, Cusco LSD and our special recipe for assembly. This will be hanging off a Holinger sequential in a car being built out West to an insane level. Amazing stuff.

03.01.2022 Little bit of progress last week on the XT500 project. Really happy with how its all coming together. Worked lots of things out on how to progress further. Im back in action, I received over 80 calls today and couldnt get to them all, haha. Please be patient, Ill catch up over the next couple of days.

03.01.2022 Nissan GTR clutch and ETS check and rebuild.

03.01.2022 S14 gearbox all built. Oil control modifications, new s14a cluster, peened and polished, upgraded shift springs.

02.01.2022 Very stoked with the quality of these. BMW e36/e46 M3 crown wheel and pinions custom made. We have a limited run of 10:41 (4.1:1) - $2,050 + GST;... And 8:37 (4.625:1) in stock - $2550 + GST. Let us know if you'd like to secure a set!

02.01.2022 Guy Tyler Rally Driver and Mike Dale Automotive in the IAS Rally Team Evo 7 win round 1 of the SARC with a Neat Gearboxes prepared drivetrain in a slippery and muddy event in Mount Gambier. Guy runs a nice solid combination of a carbon synchro 5 speed with our usual upgrades and a shorter final drive; an RS Cusco rear diff and Mfactory front LSD in the transfer case. Nice work team.

01.01.2022 Boom! Evo 9 SAYC LSD cant keep up with the pressure.
