not sure mate, im looking at another box for mine, if i buy it i'll go over it and check bearings and syncros, the syncros would probably come from nissan, and the bearings could come from nissan, a bearing shop or my work ;) , anything else would likely be too specialised to be sold anywhere but nissan i'd imagine?
If anyone knows any different speak up!

Syncros ..... order from Nissan

Bearings .... the ones in the box have "part numbers" on em so any reputable bearing supplier can supply these.
A bearing supplier will be cheaper than Nissan genuine parts.... alot cheaper !

just pull it apart & take the bearings to a bearing joint, they'll have numbers on the sides of them - like 6308 - C3, the bearing shop will be able to match them up, goto nissan for the syncros.

I just rebuilt mine and when you come to getting the bearing with part number 63/32NC3 get the same bearing WITHOUT a groove in it, as the one with the groove costs around $1500, or thats the best price i could get but the one without only costs around $40, the groove is not required.

Gday Grinch,
Well I am no mechanic, but did mine easy, just like a mechano set, nuts and bolts really, once on the bench, bearing puller, Press, Perfect mate!!
Shouldnt have any trouble, I have the 5 speed Supplement if you need any diagrams or the 4 speed too.
The hardest bit was gettin it back in the vehicle, I was by myself took me 4 hours and still cud not get it lined up to locate spline, got my local mechanic to put it back in, took him 2 hours with 2 of them he said , was a B--ch.
Good luck have a go, if you buy a second hand one you will be only buying someone elses Probs I reckon, and it may not have been built properly, or it may be on the way out like the one you have now.
Fix it your self mate!!
Cheers Mike.
