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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
