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..?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
