Luckily 5/8ths of f**k all - you can usually pick them up for bugger all as a LOT of stag drivelines get brought in to the country with the boxes attached and the box and transfer case get flung pretty smartly. about $200 is the going rate here in WA last time I checked.

yep, the manual one has a gearstick coming out of it :down:

Anywho, my battery on my laptop is almost dead. i've been on the side of the M4 for almost 3 hours now. apparently the right tow truck is coming to get me and take me to Bathurst, so I should be home around 12am... just in time to get up for work 4 hours later!!

Yeah I just got home then, the truck driver was awesome taking me all the way to Bathurst. I guess that's why I pay for the premium cover with NRMA. now to start fixing the old girl... *sigh*

Shit Leshy, you should have called me - I would have come to at least keep you company. I only live about 10mins from where you broke down!

Oh well, at least you're home safe. Now for the repairs and bills :D Hope you can claim it under warranty.

the gear stick comes out of the transfer case :blink: ??????

That's correct. I went through the exercise last time my transfer case gave up.

I'm just speculating but i'm pretty sure my driveshaft is stuffed, the clutch has dropped to the floor so something to with that is stuffed, there's a whole lot of gearbox oil on the ground (and the back of the tilt tray) so there's a hole in the transfer case or gearbox somewhere, i'm pobably up for about $2k worth of repairs here. i'll see how much i can do myself, but i don't like the chances of it.

Thanks Nick, I was thinking you lived nearby, but i left your number in my other phone, i only had my work phone on me.

were about in adelaide r u. im from noarlunga well have to keep in touch 4 cruises.

and yeah that gearbox issue sounds suss

Oh man that sucks the big one! :)

If its your driveshaft that blew, how recently was your gearbox fixed the first time? Try hitting up the mechanics for a repair. Was it bearing failure? Check the docket/invoice from you previous work to see what was involved. It might be covered.

Sorry, the only assistance I can give seeing I'm in Adelaide and you're on the side of the M4.

:laugh:

Added: can you get pics of the damage/break? Post 'em up

Before you spend bunches of dollars, have a look at your wheels

Are the wheel nuts tight?

Is there dried mud etc in the wheel? A bit of fun in the mud is enough to kick the balance out of your wheels

So take to with a hose or just wriggle underneath and browse a bit

Dude, did you read this thread thru, or just post after reading the first reply? :D

His car is beyond loose wheel nuts and/or mud :P

Well got her up on the hoist today. it's not too bad, but probably as bad as i expected.

When the drive shaft let go, it basically punched a hole in the side of the transfer case. so all i'm up for is a new drive shaft and a new transfer case. i'll give just jap a call tomorrow, but i'll have a look around on the forum for a cheap transfer case first.

the mechanic also told me my water pump was leaking heaps and my front tyres were both bald... he just lumped on the good news didn't he....

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
