Hey hope you get it sorted....if you contact fair trading they start with a phone call to the vendor pointing out their obligations to you...alot of times this is all that is needed...if that doesn't work you register with fair trading for a hearing. I think it costs $30 to register..I did this once and the vendor didn't turn up so I won by default...anyway good luck with it..

Btw can you PM the name please...

It's travelling ever so slowly at the moment. I went and saw the guy who has looked at the gearbox (keith from Greenacre automotive mechanics or something along those lines) who is an extremely nice guy and he basically said he would only consider putting a box like that in if the customer took full responsibility for the consequences! He pointed out that there was chips, scratches and grooves all over the input gear and would undoubtedly cause the gearbox to make constant noise when driving. I think that was his main angst but did point out some other minor things but the main point he did make was if he was to start replacing gears it would easily be more expensive than purchasing another second hand box.

He was also nice enough to offer to call the guys who supplied the box to point this out to them too. I'm doubtful they will listen to him as they are yet to listen to anyone haha but It's nice to see what people are willing to do to help a fellow car lover out. Least this time they cannot just simple ignore what this guy says as he is a gearbox specialist and knows his shit back to front. :)

Thought I'd keep you guys updated and I'll post again soon when I find out what they say to this guy and after I write my letter of demand!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      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

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      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.
