HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa Great seat covers!

Why not let SAU do it up for you? Im sure there would be a heap of old parts people would be happy to donate as long as you're willing to "install" them....

(not that none of these parts would actually be used, just cosmetic :banana: )

Anyone got a spare FMIC?

Oil cooler core? (lines not needed, it looks more ghetto when not plugged up)

Rims?

Roof spoiler?

Dildo gear knob?

Exhaust cannon?

Pod airfilter?

Bonnet vent - wrx style?

Roof vent - again, wrx style?

;)

you didn't laugh at my daily and it's worse than that!! now I'm thinking that you waited till I left and went back inside and pissed yourself laughing so I couldn't see ;)

I was being kind..lol....kinda. Yours Shell - Well it looks like a real Drift Pig with that paint job...nope thats not it. I meant to say real pigglet! bahaha.

  • 3 weeks later...

Didn't change rego and we cbf getting everything fixed on it!

This is a way better car and so far is proving to be a much better decision. Just need to find someone to do the CV joints and she'll be all good.

And on another note I think 4th gear synchros on the GTR are deaded :P Getting it looked at in a week or so.

Smurfs blood?? I'm apparently using quite a good transmission fluid that apparently shouldn't be ready for changing yet. Ed changed all fluids over for me when I bought the car.

He's going to change it again just in case but he's pretty sure its the synchro.

And again the exhaust/intercooler takes a back seat. Anyone had to do this kinda work before? I'm guessing its expensive?

Are both your boxes using smurf's blood already?

changed the fluid over shortly after i got the thing and that brought 4th back to life for a while but its getting a bit notchy again. 5th didn't change at all with the new fluid.

Try redline shockproof and see if that fixes it - its a strange blue fluid so thats where the name smurfs blood comes from. You'll see when you see the container

If it really is the synchro's that are gone, the boxes will have to come out and be stripped etc then worn synchro's replaced. While its all out and open, its a good time to upgrade to a new gearset if more power is on the cards at a later date (or some hard driving, fast shifting etc).

A new box is about 3k or so. From memory getting synchro's replaced is around the $1500 mark depending on whats broken etc (labour to pull the box out, strip, inspect, replace worn parts, assemble, refit to car) but may be more. I know someone in Sydney paid about 2k for that same service but the parts replaced inside make a difference to price obviously.

FYI mines in great condition, doesnt crunch at all, although i am careful on changes, its got a short shifter that i know is also shortning the gearbox life. When (not if) it's destroyed, im going the PAR straight cut 5 speed, comes with everything new that matters, and will cost about 4500. Of course thats for big power, so for anything up to 400kw atw as long as you dont launch it all the time and slam gear to gear, just get a 2nd hand box that you can test first and sell the old one for cheap knowing the buyer will have to fork out a fair amount of coin t get it going again :D

Yeah please keep us posted!

I just had a look around for a new stock box, as the 3k i mentioned might be wrong since the exchange rate changed. Turns out its a good thing i did;

Stock pull type box (pull, push, prices should be the same): $3499

OSGiken gearset: $4799

http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=278&page=1

PAR is without doubt the best option now for a car like mine

LOL Just Jap is the last place in the world I'd be looking for parts that expensive :P

I agree, but its an indication of price :D

Ive used Canberra Nissan for GTR parts in the past, the old guy that works there is pretty good. Give him a call and ask for a price :P

N1GTR is that $4500 for the PAR gearset or $4500 for a transmission exchange?

Gearset supplied, fitted, in your box

Yes will certainly be shopping around. See what the second hand parts market has in the way of new or slightly used as well.

On a happy note it seemed to be behaving itself this morning but I think the fact that it has started playing up means it's only a matter of time. I'd just prefer it to not be right now :P

The GB didnt fail, people's perception of PAR failed after hearing lots of bad things about PAR gearboxes letting go. What wasnt mentioned though, is that they were all SR20 boxes, so after a wave of unhappy SR owners PM'd me and made the thread look shitty, i closed it cause i CBF'd with anyones bullshit when all the time the GB was meant to help people :D

...not a single person came forward with a GTR box that had a problem. There's a reason the RB box into the S chassis is so popular. There's even a few traders selling the kit as a complete bolt on option on NS.com

So yeah, im going PAR, there's also another low profile but massive HP GTR up here thats about to aswel. Come to think of it, there's a very high HP and profile GTR being rebuilt now and using a PAR box (oil pump let go on motor).

Anyway, to each their own

    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
