hey guys,

Just starting a new thread for this.

Ray (SXR) from RE customs has kindly offered us the use of his workshop on thursday night. What do you think everyone, is it do-able??

The shop is just off Westall rd, right near the corner od westall and dandy rd in springvale.

;)

I'm stressed just thinking about this... :D

Really Dave??

That would be awesome too mate, thanks for the offer. I was a little worried about taking it to RE as I didn't want Ray to have to stay around all night while we attempt to fix my box (that one was for you Bec!). So that may be the better option. I should know everything I need to know by this evening, so I'll keep everyone informed.

Bec: hahaha I wanted to, but was wary of the female audience ;)

Not too sure yet, should know evrything by this evening. I'll find out about the TV :D

Yeah it is. It's still driveable, it just doesn't like low speeds in first and second gear, or going into gears all the time...

Nothing needs to be replaced as far as I'm aware, and the flywheel should be fine. It was all out of the car last week, and everything was fine, apart from some minor hairline fractures in the clutch plates. But I may leave that until the off season to fix

So just old box out and new box in?

Should be easily done in one night. Even with only 2-3 ppl.

What time we starting?

Make sure you have things like new oil, WD40, rags, oil pan (ice cream containers)

I'll bring jack, jack stands and tools.

yep, just old out and new in. The only issue is with the rear main seal, which may require some silicone around it due to block damage.

Do I put shlt oil in, then good oil once it's run in, or just good stuff straight away?

Ahhhhh cool cool

I'm not too sure about kick off time, it's up to you guys, and possibly Dave??

Ray has also offered me a pretty good price and can do it this week, so maybe that could be the best option as I feel a little bad about putting everyone out like this...

Just have to see whether I can russel up the money to do it.

Whos picking me up, and at what time?

:)

Otherwise I can bring you out of the city when I finish work at like 4.30 - 5.00 ish, seeing as I drive right past your place.

And then someone else can take you home when the box is working again.

I've just spoken to Sam and he's informed me that the clutch may need the rebuild ASAP, and would really advise against putting the box in the car without doing it as it's not disengaging properley.

So it looks like I'll have to do that before I do the box...

Thanks so much for the offers guys, I really appreciate it, but I'm going to have to hold off I guess until I can do the clutch rebuild...

:)

      Looking for parts for 2003 V35. Specifically a working OEM stereo and passenger side window motor.

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Thanks to @V35_Paul there is an oem stereo available on gumtree, but the fascia is slightly different. It has a flip up screen as opposed to my pop up screen. Am I able to disconnect the radio/cd player from the fascia to use it on mine?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Had to google what a quart is lol.. so rough as guts a litre. That's a bit excessive, also what oil weight are you running? The whole steam cleaning idea isn't too far fetched either. Maybe as you suggested, turn off the WMI (assuming your Kebabtech pulls timing, boost, etc.) and run it for a bit and see if there are any noticeable changes in spark plug colouring.

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.

      RB gearbox options

      By Butters · Posted

      Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset.
