    Question About Rental Properties And Cars

    in Victoria

    Posted

    holy crap man! no joke as i read the first post i thought "wouldn't it be funny if the bitch was lying to him just cos she doesn't want him to have another car? hehehe". sux balls that my sense of humour is prescient.

    seriously though. get the car. if she leaves over something like jealousy that you have two cars while she has a shit one, she wasn't worth keeping in the first place, end of story. if it was financial issues then maybe she has a right to be worried, and a sane person would try to discuss it wit you.

    quick question; is she living with you, or are you living with her?

    totally agree with above.

    Broke 3rd Gear..need To Fix My Gearbox

    On the right track Aron, but if your price included labour aswell then yeah i'd go the new recond box, if it doesn't then i'd go for just fixing 3rd gear. But i fear this problem isn't going to just be solved by a new box or fixing 3rd.

    Either way though, its happened once, it can happen again with a rebild or a new box, off memory the car in question is pushing out some serious numbers at the wheels (or is estimated to be quite the animal).... it all comes down to how much you can afford. Ofcorse its safer to over kill things like the clutch and the transmission, but then all your doing is transfering more stress to other parts of the car so something else down the line "could" give way... eg: the axel or something.

    If you want it done properly, do everything thats associated with the drive train, make it as much bullet proof as you can. Or if money is a bit of an issue like it is for most of us and your seriously looking at keeping the car for a long time, do it slowly over a period of time, throw in the gtr box, put a crazy clutch in it, replace everything that is getting beaten by the massive amount of stress caused by traction and power, do it slowly, or do it when things start to fail. Replacing the box with a standard gtt or a rebuilt 3rd gear is honestly only a temporary fix, the temporary fix could last one massive thrash, or it could go on for 10 years without a problem, its your gamble and your choice, all comes down to money in the end...

    i see where your both coming from, i think it was more due to my neglegence and slamming my gear in like a lunatic, yess the 34gtt is now pushing out double its standard power so i im guessing its double the strain, i am going to try and find a gtr box and if i cant then ill just have to go with 3rd gear rebuild and hope for the best as this 34 has already left a massive dent in my pocket trying to get it this fast.

    i genuinely appreciate your feedback and please dont hestitate continuing doing so.

    presuming you meant criticism? and i wasn't criticising or poking fun at you man, chillax

    Good luck with fixing your gearbox

    if it turns out to be 2 expensive to fix the current box, why not get a R34 GTR box, or would that be well out of your budget?

    well ive been quoted so far $1500 to fix 3rd gear remove/install...is that about the right price???

    also ive got a jim berry custom 6 puck carbotics clutch...its a great clutch..obviously good enough to break the box without any slip!

    thanks alot for these businss recommendations.

    also just on that gtr gearbox note...what are they worth second hand?

    fark, that's a huge discrepancy. is that after your last tune when you thought you had the issue sorted?

    did you get it checked on another dyno and find it to be 55kw down on the CV dyno figure!!!?

    there's prob a thread on it somewhere that i missed

    yes had it checked on two other dyno's afterwards, both mainline dyno's...just power runs "no difference in tune".

    initially went for boost drop issue...was claimed as cleared n sitting at 280rwkw..took it to two dyno's for power runs...came up at 225rwkw-230rwkw...so quite a difference.

    freak occurance??
