Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

$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 ?

Too lazy to deal with FB Marketplace flat brimmers, in the recycling bin it goes ?

[Ben C34]

That's not how that bin works

[Robzilla32]

Think of all of the shit beer that poor intercooler will have to store in the future

He's all about Don Mega spec with Samsonas now. 

[No Crust Racing]

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

Do you get a commission or what? 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Imagine I did, just imagine that!

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

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.

[No Crust Racing]

Just because they don't produce power doesn't mean they aren't thrashed. 

Because they are lol

Maybe if you can find a low k's non raped donor car?

@Samsonas please sponsor our Nissan shit boxes.

@ActionDan @Count Grantleyish and myself deserve one each.

[No Crust Racing]

Unlikely. 


 

[Count Grantleyish]

I has sads, no Samsonas for my Dash 9 equipped shitbox.

Samsona's are great boxes but good luck getting one free, or even a discount

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

[Count Grantleyish]

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.
