just wondering if people here in adelaide have compared prices of thing's like turbo's,exhaust's air flow meter's etc lately.

I did some investigation today.

GTR air flow meter's adelaide $350 second hand $500 brand new

sydney brand new $350

clutch exedy twin plate adelaide $2,800

sydney $2,200

1994 r32gtr gear box adelaide $3,800

sydney $3,000

This is approx what I found out anyway speaking to peter from advan performance in silverwater Sydney.

Seem's to me alot of us over here are getting ripped off big time.

If other people have found this to be true please post here so we can compare common thing's that we might end up having to replace at any time.

thank's

Did you ring all the wreckers in the stickied list?

Here in Adelaide you can pick up a 300zx airflow meter for low 300's bran new.

Prices vary considerably. I was after a stock air box quite some time ago. Adelaide Jap wanted $250, JMS wanted $40.

R33 rwd Gearbox's range from 1100 to 1700.

R32 rwd gearbox's range from 500 to 1000.

In the past I have seen an R32 GTR gearbox go for $700 to $1500 here in Adelaide. Depends who you call I suppose.

I live in Sydney now and have found better prices in Adelide and have been sorcing most parts from there for mates and ourselves. Advan is quite pricy and not many of the SAU user here go to them for parts they buy them straight from Japan thru Just Jap http://www.justjap.com.au/ and this place is really good http://www.slidingperformance.com/catalog/

But in the end its who you know and how much you buy from places to get the price down

Factor in Postage for items like gearboxes as well.

The weight of the items almost makes it not worth it to buy interstate, and u have to buy the item without seeing it as well.

Even if you can see it, it's pretty hard to tell the internal condition of a gbox, unless of course you could open it up but find me a wrecker that'll let you do that. Just have to hope they'll honour the very much limited warranty they offer.

At the end of the day it's a bit of a lottery what ever you do.

P.S. Cubes. Yeah, just must be my failing eye-sight. :)

If u buy a gb from a wrecker without any warranty your asking for it anyway...

As far as the gear box goes, it is a brand new r33 1998 GTR box. My GTR is a 1994 R32 and has the R33 GTR box in it from the factory. It has the pull mechanism instead of the push one.

The input shaft bearing is going and will cost $2,600 to replace {so I been told} and I think this makes the new box sound more attractive, if you know what I mean.

Mind you if some one out there want's to throw me $20,000 of there money I will gladly throw in a R34 box :laugh:

a complete rebuild should only cost $460 in bearings (using genuine nissan ones) and $550 for a complete syncro set.

Complete labour to pull box out and rebuild and reinstall would b e $600

So ~$1600 (+- $200) for a rebuild. I think your quote is way off. GTR internals are similar to r33gtst...

Yep and now that I have a 12tonne hydraulic press, Time to pull that finger out your Bung Hole Darren. ;)

SavageGTR, Grab the bearing part numbers and have CBC match them up.

I'll make sure I keep you on my buddies list for if I need to change some bushes :). Is your currency cartons of beer or bottles of wine :P

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
