Vq35De Gearbox Grind :s

[Seano350GT]

Not bad considering i've heard gearboxes in cars like the new Ralliarts cost 10k..

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..

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!

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..

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!

Have you factored in import duty/GST?

[PN-Mad]

^^^^UPS will be coming for ya!

[Seano350GT]

Prices include all taxes and GST. I've also changed flywheel, going with the South Bend and i believe Exedy makes them but they have less chatter than the others.

[sonicii]

Import duty and Australian gst isn't paid by the seller, Australian customs will hit you with that when it crosses the boarder for items over A$1,000

[Seano350GT]

i contacted Coz again, he said he's going to send the package as a rebuild for $750 so he thinks the taxes won't be high if not any.

[SMOKEYV35]

If he declares value at under $1000 aud then you won't pay the 10% GST at import.

So if he writes $750 you're sweet.

[Seano350GT]

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..

[sonicii]

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.

[PN-Mad]

Hahahaha.... Cd009 gearbox in original packing. Not half easy to spot. Also, have you looked at the import conditions for used reconditioned parts?

[Seano350GT]

I guess we will just have to see how i go once i order the parts haha.. i will do a bit of research on the import conditions.

The mines are about 2 hours away from here hah..

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.
