Does anyone know where I might find some M12x1.25 fine thread nyloc or cone nuts?

To use on the bolts which connect the coilover to the knuckle on S13.

Tried specialty fasteners, they didn't have any.

Try a wrecking yard, get it off another car.

B> Straight rolling shell of a R33 SR2. Genuine rolling shell. No history.

Paper work will need to be provided with purchase.

*Short story - I have an R33 SR2 with fairly bad chassis damage and costing a lot to repair from a shop. Need a 100% genuine rolling shell so RTA will pass the new body without any hassles.

Cheers guys !

No Sorry.

Does your current 33 have enough goodies to transfer into another shell ?

It wont be cheap.

I'm at work atm and cannot access the site, but do they sell rolling shells? or issit more so bits and pieces?

No Sorry.

I've got everything I need to swap my bits and pieces into a rolling shell. My current 33 is in preistege condition bar the chassis damage. I just need a rolling shell to be straight so I can put my goodies in there. But really don't want to get a guttered 33. Hoping I can find someone who has recently just done a RB25 transfer and not wanting to touch anything else.

I've had quite a few people offer shells but way to much work for me to jusitfy their prices they're offering.

Think you need to find the "right" person to fix your issue on your 33.

Unfortuantely I dont know that person yet ..

Haha yeah, if it was that easy to get a mate to re-wield the parts then I'll be laughing (I need engineer certs as well for it). Rolling shell seems to be the most promising solution unless work offers more work to which I can pay a workshop to fix.

Job security is my only factor atm - No money - no fix.

Was planning to put the car up on carsales Easter weekend, but after that criuse. Oldm8 Helga showed me a different side to her :(

I dont know how it was sold to you with a bent chasis. I know they'd never find the boddies if it happend to me.

So now you need to offload - probably at a big loss - and unless you dont want to be found in the bottom of a local lake you will have to fess up to the problem and provide an approximate cost to have fixed.

Lose/Lose :(

I got the dodgy done to me. The car did state it had an econmic repairable write off - however, that was 9 years ago. Given it was NSW you'd think it would've been fixed given they need an insecption every 12 months. (Dodgy certs). From what I felt about being done over, I would not do the same to someone else. I will advise them of the damage and will provide the reports as needed. But this car would be an amazing track car (Non rego'd). The inside is awesome and the only downside of it all is the damage done to the chassis.

Wouldn't mind seeing $4,000 for it, but who knows. I'm not a dodgy bloke regardless ;)

I'm at a massive loss whichever way I turn. A lesson learnt as some would say.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
