$850 later, ready for garage parking competition.

New seals, new bearings, added 2x shims, backlash reduced a bit.

Just need to redo the ABS wiring, sometime in the past (not during my ownership) someone cut the plug and rejoined it poorly. When I put in the 2 way centre I never bothered to fix it because the mindset was "cheap track car, don't care". Fast forward 7 years or so it's not a very cheap track car anymore ?

Given the price, you gonna lash out and just go new? 

Would be a sensible approach, however when you think about it.. most 350/370Z don't produce very much power. Given that assumption, you would think the boxes are less thrashed than a Skyline box.

Kind of how you would compare a high class escort to a hooker around the bowlos.

I got 2 updates in 2 threads, both posts from you, both posts banging on about Samsonas... 

Do you get a commission or what? 

I wish :(

Imagine I did, just imagine that!

But reality, this non-Don Mega Ham build will probably just end up with a 350Z CD009 box.

fisch automotive are making RB conversion bellhousings for CD boxes at the moment, im very interested

Someone should do DQ250/381/500 conversion bellhousing for RB's. 

I feel it'll go well with AK47/crackle maps.

Nailed it, I'll take the DQ500 thanks.

If the one in the boat falls out, just pull it out from the missus' Tiguan and I'll be good again.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
