Hi,

First, don't drive the car with bits of metal floating around in the box.

Sounds like you've blown the 3rd-4th sleeve.

Ring Nissan on Monday and see a) whether you can get one for your box and b) how much it is.

If you _can_ get one, then figure out whether you can strip/rebuild the box yourself

(on my box, I'm pretty sure that was the last sleeve to come off :sweat:) if not, take it

to a gearbox place you trust. They might be able to find you a secondhand sleeve

for not too much money...

Regards,

Saliya

    • For anyone who finds this via a search  An s14 alternator connector and Silvia Fusebox/350z headlight connector can be used. Get the non pigtail version of the alternator connector so you can use 12 gauge wire for the pump.    I am using  https://ebay.us/m/ToEEmM And https://conceptzperformance.com/czp-xenonhid-headlight-connector-w-pigtails-8-pin-male-nissan-350z-03-08-z33-or-jdm-fusebox-for-silvia-s14-czp-26060-m-8pin_p_19166.php    
    • Meh, I think we're well into a new era of 90s JDM car. The days when spare engines and parts were cheap and plentiful are long gone. Therefore the YOLO approach is now massively difficult to justify, use and maintain. One should start to ponder whether an 800HP build is really justified, using stock parts. My thoughts? If you like/love the car and want to keep it and don't want to ruin yet another one, then be discrete about how much you ask from the stock parts. A 5 or 600 HP build is still a very fast car. If you want to go silly, have to have the 1000HP territory, then just drop all your cash, buy billet everything (or PRP cast block, etc etc) and use a bigger/more modern gearbag, and put a massive retrofit diff and axles into it. If you ruin any of those things then you're either ham fisted and deserve it, or you're pushing waaaay too far for the stock stuff anyway. The (presumably) young guys who are buying 30-35 year old busted arse Jap refugees and thinking they can live the life that was lived by others 20 years ago are deluded. Expectations need to be adjusted somewhat.
    • Just don’t be silly enough to think it’ll never happen either 
    • I take it that you bought the centre to suit the GTR axles? As in there was a plan, not just somehow lucky that it worked? It all looks excellent, by the way.
    • New engine block time. Up to you whether you want to keep going down this road with this project. Unfortunately a lot of these cars are like this. The road to getting these cars into decent shape is long and not fun for reasons that you're discovering.
