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.

    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
    • Welcome to SAU, looks like you've picked up a nice one! Any plans to spend more money that you have on it until you hate it?
    • Also I cut away the top metal that was bent as there's no way I could have gotten it level and the rust stopped. I can also see clean metal under the windscreen. So it looks like this is the extent of it. The lower metal here is also strong.
