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.

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
