Maybe.

Wanted to ask the guy at the red light but just couldn't quiet get along side him :\

So, in other news:

I got my gearbox out tonight.

! hour 20 mins, including jacking car up, driveshaft, diff, and getting the box on the ground and out from under the car.

As it turns out....there might be nothing wrong at all with the box, the clutch on the other hand, farken LOL.

Heavy wear on the inside of the compound (10mm section on the inside has about 1.0-1.5mm more wear), the compound itself was shithouse...half the clutch just crumbled as soon as I pulled it off, and the flywheel has scorch marks all round.

So....maybe the crunchies was clutch engagement...since the box hasn't even been leaking oil.

Hahahah...ah....ha....eh.....gayest story of my life :(

Just wait for the next HSV they will try and squeze that motor in to keep up with everyone else.

I had something similar with my 1st 180, car wouldnt go into gear one minute, then fine the next, crunch gears etc, thinking its farked. Pulled the box out and all the clutch plate springs fell out.

I didnt install the clutch...I pulled it out of the halfcut, looked at it, still heaps of meat left on it so I just chucked the good gearbox on it and threw it into the Ceffy...Stock clutch, 126xxx kms...dare say it was the factory clutch ?

Doesnt matter, new flywheel and GTR clutch on now....

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
