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.

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
