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

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

edit - JIS have one three advertised on their site for $350.

unless its sold... i thought they are usually pretty good with keeping their site up to date with stock

Depends on how much Paul hassles Koji to update stuff.

[Matty 31]

yeah, thats what gave me the idea chad. Plus my chances of finding a stock driver seat in the same trim pattern for the same price as a pair of coupe seats + a bit of metal and time for the fab work, its goin to be reasonably comfy too

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

ruby this is a breakdown of getting my gearbox rebuilt

synchro ring sets-1,2,3,4

input shaft

3/4 synchro hub

synchro keys, spring and sleeves

input shaft bearing

input seal

3rd gear

plus labour in/out plus gearbox oil

total with gst $3,500

i have chocolate mousse.

[Nightcrawler]

got my coilpacks! yay.

That is bad timing - just today I bit the bullet and decided I will sell all the R34 gear I had accumulated, but not yet fitted to my 34. Including a set of Super Spark coilpacks with 3 spares.

These be suitable for 33 series 2 Andrew ?

Edit: Hey Ruby, pretty sure they have 1 series 1 and three series 2 front facia's in stock. One of the series 2's has the factory lower lip on it too.

Damn, if only they'd fit an RB25DET Series 2 I'd grab em - I'm in the market for a set of coilpacks.

I've seen that one at JIS - been there for ages.

[JMW]

Guess Vu just answered my question then, bugger!

Yeah they've got a couple with the lower lip, white, black and the silver one in the pics

[Nightcrawler]

haha nah sorry Adrian .... I do happen to have a set of 2nd hand S1 R33 coilpacks I want to get rid of though

[Nightcrawler]

[MissR34]

Tossing up between these 3 that I can see online:

I like this. Complete and just in need of paint.

I can throw this one on without paint for now, being white.

I like the look of the grey S2 with the lip ... but no lights, and will it fit the S1 model?

Dumb Q: is type M and spec M the same thing?

[typevu]

Its meant to be Type M... Spec M is something relating to one of the R34 models.

[RubyRS4]

Its meant to be Type M... Spec M is something relating to one of the R34 models.

Thought so ... the two, one labeled "type m" and the other "spec m" looked identical

I'd wanna see the bumpers before deciding. I'm also keen on some Work mesh dish rims.

[typevu]

oh wait correction, its "M-Spec" is the R34 thing - though many people get it mixed up and instead of R33 Type-M they call it M-Spec
