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

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

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

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

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 :P

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? :P 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.

:P

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 :P

and this side the screw was as loose as anything!

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

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
