I'm just taking it slow at the moment. I'm waiting for the gearbox to get back to my mechanics and hopefully the thing is still broken down so I can get some pictures and then I'll talk to the gearbox specialist that diagnosed the problem so I can get specifics and also a quote on how much it would be to fix, I won't pay to fix but just so they can see how much damage is present with a monetary value.

I'm also looking into the department of fair trading but I'm a bit weary of my chances as this has been an ongoing problem for months now. Starting with them not sending the parts actually needed to fit the gearbox and due to some of the parts being sourced from Nissan it took time for them to arrive.

In a nut shell I want to know exacts and get them on paper so I can start building a strong arguement and not go into this umming and arring.

Thanks for your support guys, it's heartbreaking when you try to do the right thing by people and be nice and they just spit in your face.

just out of interest many eons age i organised a reco auto box for my mum's car

came to $500 for the box

installed but there was an issue

got them to drive the car to one of their service agents and they sorted it out

lasted for years until we traded the car in

thing is the gearbox place was not a JAP import type place so they're a bit more legit

Guys,

we all know who this business is.

They are well known for their rediculous prices, i dont even call them anymore when i need parts even though they are local to me.

Good luck with it mate, i hope you get your refund.

My gearbox never saw the road, my car has been on a hoist since last November getting work done to it but to be more precise It's been on a hoist since April just for a box that would work to go into it. This business thinks I'm doing the dodgey on him.... How the fek would I do the dodgey when my PFC is still sitting on my mechanics shelves unopened haha... The car can't even be turned on and I'm supposedly doing shonkeys?!!? Cause people love to walk everywhere so they can go to the hassle I am right now

I think my correct avenue will be the department of fair trading just need to get some particulars from my mechanic and I definitely need this digi photos of the sort of damage it's in because that will be a good indication of how severe the damage is and then I can post them up on here and see what people think.

It's the forum rules that we can't publicly bad mouth business to avoid litigation against our beloved SAU. Wouldn't want to see this place get shut down all over a silly gearbox would we? :laugh:

So who is it?

Can we all stop being pansies with the PM's..?

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
