Give me a PM if you are selling the stuffed gearbox, I need a new case for my spare, it has a hole in it...

Will do, i was offered 20k cash for my car yesterday.. i may go ahead with that. I can get a work car now and the V will only be a weekender, saves me having to buy a new box and shit. The guys loaded with money anyway.

If you get it all installed, I would be interested to know what you think of the JWT Clutch/Fly and how it compares to the factory Clutch/Fly. I am getting sick of the feel of the factory clutch and the narrow engagement window - I have been thinking about the clutch pedal mods, but haven't got around to doing anything yet.

The downside is I have heard if you replace the factory DMF with a standard single piece flywheel, you get a lot of chatter from the gearbox which can be annoying at low RPM..

Well apparently the car has an excedy twin place clutch in it now, i've never driven a manual v35 with the stock clutch so i can't be too sure if it's legit..

I saw a factory CD009 at UPS last week. It was put aside because 1/2 the box was covered in fluid - suspect cracked case in transit - LOL!

Oh shit.. don't tell me that haha

  • 3 weeks later...

Update:

I have been in touch with Z1 performance in states over the last few weeks ttrying to find a better deal for what i want.

Here it is so far:

CD009 Transmission

Chromoly Pivot Ball

Stainless Steel Clutch Line

Nismo Pilot Bushing

JWT Clutch & Flywheel (tossing up between Nismo or UR flywheel as they supposedly have less chatter under 2000rpm)

Redline 75w90 gl4 gearbox oil + same stuff with gl5 for diff oil.

Z1 performance originally quoted me $1,699 + $775 shipping for just the gearbox alone.

I approached Coz at ConceptZperformance a while back and received no response, got an email back this morning from Coz saying "shit that's expensive i'll do it for $2194 delivered" definitely happy with that.

Definitely pays off searching around for a good deal as i'm very happy with saving $300.

Costing me a total of $3068 total delivered in 3-5 days which is great.

Now i just need the money!

Yeah cool cool he said he does alot of high value shipments to Australia and no one has complained to him yet about any GST or taxes lol so that'd be good if he does that.

Couldn't have picked a shitter time of the year to spend $3000.. around xmas and my mrs is expecting a shit load of presents as they do..

If they specifiy a figure under $1000 on the customs delcaration, you will probably be fine.. but just be aware, Australian Customs has been cracking down on this sort of thing recently.. hopefully they won't estimate the actual cost of the items to be above $1,000 and therefore won't invesitgate.

just wrap up little bunches of coal... your near a mine. it should be easy for you to get.

From what I know, if the declaration to customs states that the item is under $1k, customs duty won't apply.

However, if you do get it shipping insurance and it doesn't arrive, they will only cover what's on the declaration. Is $750.

    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and thank you brother πŸ™πŸΌ jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! πŸ˜… every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts.

    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
