I have been doing a shit load of research on doing the swap but i haven't even thought if it will actually fit into my RHD car.. i found a post on www.my350z.com and they mentioned "Importing gearbox from USA. Sharif, had a good deal on some CD009 gearboxes (latest revision) (c.£1,000 excluding delivery and VAT/duty, at the previous favourable exchange rate); but these were incompatable with RHD cars. The gearboxes are RHD/LHD specific"

Does anyone have some insight on this? I can't seem to find any other information on the internet and Coz from ConceptZperformance hasn't replied to my email yet asking him if it will actually fit.. I am purchasing the gearbox clutch and flywheel today so a quick reply would be great.

thank you.

Edit: Ok so Coz replied to my email just as i hit post on here, he says quote

"oh yea, we ship them there all the time"

I am still a little worried, surely he wouldn't just say that to make a $3200 sale would he?

Yeah see that's what i thought, it's just annoying reading posts like that when people aren't correct. Coz replied to a 2nd email saying that they use the exact same gearbox for LHD and RHD and that the guy from England has no idea what he's saying.

I think i've got enough confidence now to transfer Coz a lot of money.

It did take me a month to earn $4000 but hey i guess your right Alex.

I can't do that, my bank is conveniently only located in NSW.. i've got a form i've sent to Coz that i need him to fill out the bank details then send it back then i send that to my bank and we're good to go. I really need to open an account with a local bank..

Use Pennytell (mayebe one l) - no transfer fees, you can use direct debit so no fees at all or your CC for faster and more protection but 2%

I used them many times when seller doesnt have paypal or accept CC..

Im also looking at CD009 one day too.. what shipping method and price you getting?

Damn, too late now i've just sent the paperwork off to my bank. Thanks though i will use that for future transactions.

I got a killer deal off Coz at ConceptZperformance. I purchased a brand new CD009 gearbox with all the bits included like chromoly pivot ball ss clutch lines and nismo bushings. I also purchased a Southbend clutch & flywheel combo (Southbend is made by Exedy so it's good quality)

And i was going to buy some amsoil gearbox & diff oil off him but he couldn't source it so i got it for Brisbane pretty cheap.

Anyway, for everything it's exactly $3,144.00 shipped to my door. Shipping for everything was only $575 or something so i'm pretty pleased with that. Coz is also writing up a 2nd invoice to go with the package marked as a gearbox rebuild and valued at under $1000 so i don't get any import/tax fees!

My only thoughts is you might want to make the payment difficult to track if the seller is undervaluing it to avoid import duty.. last thing you want is customs to get suspicious, check your credit card records or bank records and find a payment to the seller for way over what was declared.. at least with a 3rd party involved, it would be harder to track down.

How would you get around this, do you mean transferring money from 2 different accounts? Yeah wouldn't be a bad idea, i'm guessing there is a substantial fine that goes along with avoiding import taxes? lol, Coz says he does it all the time and has no negative feedback but yeah.

The exporter is the one who fills out the customs declaration, so how could the importer be the one responsible for a false declaration? Especially since they won't even see the declaration until they have the item..

However, if customs find out the real value, the importer will be responsible for paying the appropriate duty/tax.

OzForex are a good alternative, when sending more than AUD$2000. If it's less than AUD$10,000 they charge a $15 transfer fee. Otherwise, $10,000+ attracts no transfer fee and their commission percentage is extremely competitive compared to the banks. More importantly, they make sure the recipient gets what you say you want to pay them. Banks can be a little difficult with that as they don't always factor in the receiving bank's charges when they take your money.

It's how I paid for my V36 back in November 2011. Couldn't be happier. If I ever decide to buy the GTM Supercharger kit, I won't be paying by credit card!

How is coz shipping it for $575? thats pretty good i think. If you sent with pennytel it would be harder to track as they sent the money via their bank not yours so trail ends there. but yeah remove that post :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
