Seano350GT

Not sure, waiting for supplied to inbox me with a total cost shipped i'd imagine it will be cheap though. Supposedly it's the best stuff to use. Did a bit of reading turns out people have issues when you use non genuine gear oil, not sure why but it's cheap so i'll give it a go when i reach 500km driven on the new box.

haha nevermind just found a killer deal on eBay for exactly what i need from OCinfiniti in the US. $8.95 per quart and i only need 4. Cheapest gear oil i've ever seen! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271104958963?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648

yeah they all say the same thing, i can't work out why so many people would say Amsoil is the shit then it turns out it just is shit.. By the way, where can i source genuine nissan mt fluid from? I've spoken to nissan in town, they have nothing that can help me. Spoke to Moorooka nissan down brissy way and they said nissan only sells it in a 20L drum which is $200. i don't really want to spend that much just on gear oil but if i can't get the genuine stuff any other way it probably wouldn't be a half bad idea..

yep already done that, Leon pulled it off and had a look inside everything seems fine. I wonder if it's a combination of the clutch breaking in and the wrong gear oil maybe? Well alot of the guys in the US spoke very highly of Amsoil and reckoned it was great on these cars but Leon says it's too thin and not very good.. Very odd indeed lol.

Cal, gearbox is a brand spanker CD009 (From the 06-07 v35/350z's) straight from Conceptz performance in the US which originally came direct from Nissan.. Coz thinks it's very very unlikely it's the gearbox. I'm gonna drive it for a few hundred more km's and hope it goes away, if not i'll change out the gear oil for genuine Nissan stuff hopefully it does something for it. Nice shots too by the way, that's a massive ship..

Ok so bit of an update on this issue i'm having- Took the car back to Leon and got it back on the hoist. Got in it and went through the gears whilst i was in the air, went through all the gears and started hearing a fair bit of rattle once the car got under more load. 40km/h in 6th gear the noise was horrible, coming straight from inside the gearbox. Leon says to give it a few hundred more km's and if nothing changes i need to speak to Coz about it. We pulled a bit of gear oil out looking for steel shavings, put a magnet in the small amount of oil we dropped and pulled out next to nothing. Probably the little bits were from the new synchro's meshing together. Apparently, Leon has had plenty of cars up on the hoist doing the same thing as what we did going through the gears troubleshooting listening for noises and has never heard this happening before. I guess i will drive it for a few hundred more km's, then change out the oil ($120 down the drain) for a thicker mix. Amsoil is very light, maybe the car doesn't like it. Then go from there, Leon thinks it's a gearbox bearing. We'll see! Also i have a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on the gearbox, i spoke to Coz this morning and he strongly thinks it's not the gearbox.. wtf can it be!?

ok Tony i'll give you another $6 and we'll call it a deal hey lad?

been seeing all over fb a d*ckload of people got defected, pretty pathetic

Ok so bit of an update on this issue i'm having- Took the car back to the workshop and got it back on the hoist. Got in it and went through the gears whilst i was in the air, went through all the gears and started hearing a fair bit of rattle once the car got under more load. 40km/h in 6th gear the noise was horrible, coming straight from inside the gearbox. My mech says to give it a few hundred more km's and if nothing changes i need to speak to Coz about it. We pulled a bit of gear oil out looking for steel shavings, put a magnet in the small amount of oil we dropped and pulled out next to nothing.

poor bastard that bought a fake.

thanks

My god that is impressive

righto cranky pants

sweet, have we worked out a postage price to me yet Tony? just so i can flick you the money.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. f*cking work computer is blocking all the images, this is the only one that was displayed. It must be THAT bad it got through the filtering system.

Shaun i do the same thing with deposits, that's why i always make them subject to finance approval. And i also do the follow up phone call, only i do it 2 months later. He would have a reminder automatically setup in his computer x amount of weeks/months after delivery. Same as me

The attention to detail is unreal man, very well done!

my boss gets dirty at me when i'm always on SAU haha

Scotty- i asked the questions that you asked me, to the bloke that fitted it. This exactly what he replied with- "yeah pilot bush was replaced, and lubed by oil under pressure, til it leaks out of the bush. Didn't check shafts, but it won't be different, that's a common size on all nissans, my SR20 clutch tool fits perfect into your clutch"

Do not get a Pajero if you plan on towing anything reasonably heavy - they do not have a full body chassis like most cars. The towbar is actually connected to the body by about 35 bolts. Jump under one and check it out, you will find yourself bending the body of the car after x amount of towing km's. Not very good for the car. But for a vehicle that is in the same market i would strongly recommend going for a 120 series Prado. Turbo diesel. only problem is your not going to find one for 15k unless it's the early 03 models with 200+ km's.

Well, my 03 comes with a small pivot ball. But the 04-07 came with a longer pivot ball. The box was originally installed with the new pivot ball, which is too long, everything was then bolted back up but the clutch couldn't be adjusted because of that so the old pivot ball was put back in. It was not faulty at all, i made sure my mate checked. Brand new throw out bearing so i'm not sure how that would be possible. I will see if there's any difference between input shafts too but i was under the impression by many individual and Coz himself that this CD009 gearbox is a direct replacement of the CD001 the only difference is pivot ball. Everything else should just bolt straight up and have no issues. Car is going back on the hoist this Sunday so we'll see i guess.

HKS replica Godspeed? Nice man

i've got an Injen cold air intake, probably doesn't do much apart from make a nice little whistle sound and seems to make the exhaust sound a tad deeper. Apparently the Stillen Z tube and a K&N drop in airbox is the best combo, that's what the americans say.

Lol not likely. Tony i am from Sydney

Thanks Mat, Well i have the car going in on Sunday again, everything has been installed correctly i have been quizzing my mate that did it to try and rule anything out that may be incorrect but it all seems to add up. Haha i'm not too confident that will fix anything, i don't think that's a good idea But if we have no luck at all this Sunday, i guess the first thing would be to do is change the clutch fluid
