So, i've got some news about my gearbox. Turns out the pinion shaft snapped clean in half. This was a PAR item. I rang PAR today and they will warrant the pinion even though i have owned it for 18 months! They are a great company to deal with :)

I havent had a chance to upload that video, it will get posted up as soon as its up.

So because my pinion shaft snapped, PAR are going to make me another crown wheel and pinion.

They asked me if i would like to have a different ratio or am i happy with my current one?

Stock ratio is 4.176

My previous ratio was 4.43:1

This ratio will be 4.83:1

Should be a bit quicker then :)

It's a PAR

Well...this is Skylines Australia.

Just sayin'.

Yes it is, and this is the best car club in Australia to be associated with :)

It'll either be an S chassis (coz I like to stick with what I know 'SR20') or I've always loved the thought of an R chassis with a LS1 or similar.

  • 4 weeks later...

Haha, we'll see. Don't hold your breath though.

A bit of an update:

My crown wheel and pinion from PAR is going to be another 2 weeks, which doesnt bother me. It turned out he didn't have the size i wanted in stock like he originally thought.

Also i'll leave this here:

I paid for these yesterday, they will be getting shipped over from the U S of A this week some time.

4 into 1, 3" collector

Then i'll be looking at a 3" exhaust.

    • My son saw this Porsche 904 in Yodoyabashi in Osaka, not sure if it's the plastic or fibreglass version 767605763.559358.mp4
    • I agree re not trusting it as it makes mistakes however can do hours of research for you at times by simply asking a question
    • The I've done a lot of research and feel like I'm becoming a nut and washer expert. The washer in question doesn’t look very conical—it’s almost flat, but one side has a chamfer. The guide's picture shows the convex side (chamfered side) facing the nut, but the text says the chamfer should face the pulley, which is confusing. If I follow the picture, the chamfer faces the nut, but the instructions say the opposite. When I place the washer on a flat surface, one side looks flatter—maybe that's the concave side—so I would expect the chamfer to be on that side. But it isn’t, which adds to the confusion. The term chamfer is also throwing me off. I always thought the concave side should face the pulley, and the convex side (with the chamfer) should face the nut or bolt head. But Nissan’s instructions say the chamfer should face the pulley, which seems backward. I know I’m probably overthinking it, but I want to be sure I’m doing it right. Also, I’ve seen some people replace the nut and stud with a bolt, but I assume that’s not a good idea, since it might not keep proper tension on the tensioner. Lastly, just to be 100% sure: the pressure washer should face the pulley, then the conical washer? That feels strange, since usually the pressure washer goes first, facing the bolt or nut.
    • I checked, i dont think it was the indicator stalk. The problem just magically fixed itself though. 
    • H1 is not the Humvee, but is the most road based version. Lachlan (HankScorpio) on here has a proper Humvee. He imported it a few years back.
