Are you aware the CD009 will become the lowest point on the car? They hang a LOT lower than the chassis rails, just an FYI. 

What you need is a Samsonas....... 

lol... fuark the peer pressure is real, also my car isn't that low (as you can see in the photos).

Paintjob looks mad.... did you take the strut towers off to do a rust repair while engine out?

 

E.g.

We sanded the towered back to bare metal around the rust areas, wasn't as bad as those photos. Hit is mum with rust converter and re-sealed, then painted over.

For real, I am currently shopping for a very expensive gearbox while my clutch is out. (???? cars...)

Buy once, cry once, then enjoy the benefit.

That said is there actually any benefit with a Samsonas for your intended use 😛

Somebody please do a BMW DCT conversion. There is a GTR kit now for the transfer case too.

I looked into this for the LS! It looks like there's an adaptor plate for the LS, and the gearbox itself....

... and nothing else. No easy to find dimensions/sizes of things, no electronics, 
Noone sells the rest of the 'kit' to make it actually 'work'.

But I wish they did >.>

I'm looking at this for the Silvia using HGTs stand alone. It "appears" on paper to not be that much more than CD009 conversion, but obviously with a little more work/complexity. 

As my car will only be a little 4cyl, I am hoping I can get away with the ZF8HP70 or 75. 

Flappy paddle last minute corner entry/exit changes would be pretty hektik though...

Very sex, this is why you see M2/3/4s at Wakefield just fly out of the fish hook, all the manual boys trying to rev match, shift dis dat, they're just cycling through the gears and flying out.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
