if you read it he says needs alot of new parts, does this mx6 have an auto or a manual gearbox cause i blew the diff on mine (89 model, auto) and it's gonna cost me 1700 for a new auto gearbox and to put it in, so if it has all the parts for the manual gearbox or if it has an auto gearbox i might take it off ya hands

need cash asap...

as it states it is an auto with heaps of options ibought it for $4500, it broke down the next day due to intercooler piping leakn etc n a few other little problems ive spent about $5500 on it and sik of it..it was originally for work but now i have a better work car (r32gtst) and i just need the cash...its been sitting for a while ever since it broke down n i bought the r32 straight away and wasnt interested in the mx6 anymore...all it needs is a head gasket to run...$500 if you can do it urself..

Cheers Dan

pms replied to. ....i dont think the head cracked ?it has a blown head gasket thats all i no..nrma just tested it and said the gasket is blown...

still looking to sell it for $1600 or thinkin bout fixing it up then selling it.....

ive got no where to work on the car, it is at my sis house..another reason 4 selling...

Come on guys i thought this would go straight away..good for the home mechanic that can replace the head gasket..

i might get interior pics and convince some people

Cheers Dan

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
