The Sa Wasteland

[bezender]

today i found out that the military police drive cars that are remarkibly similar to the paddy wagons, blue and whice checker pattern to boot!

not only that but they are cool. one pulled up next to me at the lights, the passenger signalled to me to wind down my window. had a quick red light chat to him, he was complimenting me on my car, and it turns out he has a 32 gts-t and a jzx100!

we need metro police like that hahahaha

Yeah, I agree ... but I've scoured the CH9 website but its useless compared to Ch10.

Well, I looked, I rang, I browsed ...

There are no type M bars available in South Australia ... privately, wrecking or imported. Fail

I'll start shopping for something that is available.

I like the type R from Viva: http://www.vivagarage.com.au/nissan/nissan..._aeroparts.html

Just what I thought as I looked through them.

Looking? What are you doing with your current bar?

[typevu]

I'm not changing bumpers - I just looked through them as you linked it to give an input

Anyone know the rough costs of having a worn gear changed in a manual gearbox?

I haven't done a gearbox in years ... and couldn't be bothered doing it myself anyway

actual gear? or the syncro?

u'd be looking at couple of 1000 for a gear replacment (labour alone will be up around $1500, plus mebe another $500-700 for a single gear)

Jeezus! I'll do it myself then. So where do I go looking for a 3rd gear for a GTR box? Wreckers? Nissan Aust? Will a standard 32/33/34 2wd box have the same 3rd gear?

i know there was at least a syncro change from 32 -> 33... perhaps talk to someone like PPG (out your way) that might be able to get you first 3 gears, im not sure if you'll be able to buy them individualy as a stock item (but i'd presume you would have to some how) however it'll just be easier to replace 1-3 as the gears are actually press fitted on

note: i know you can get individual gears from OSG threw one of the SAU traders (slide i think)... but that'd cost u $$

edit: also boxes can differ in gear ratios big time... rb20 -> rb25 ->rb26 are all different etc

Well ... I'll be doing a bit of research on that tonight.

well my lil missy moo decided to have a fit and have a nice exhaust leak...........knew there was something wrong yesterday when the tone of the car just didnt sound normal, then today in the Bridge she was carrying on like a 2 year old. so went to the local exhaust place for them to have a look...... this is what they found....

This side had no nut holding onto the screw

and this side the screw was as loose as anything!

[JMW]

Best to go cone lock or proper turbo nuts (have a little copper insert in them similar to nyloc nuts) if you dont want them to come loose again Cara
