Looking for a blown or similarly priced rb25 manual gearbox, sydney or canberra location or shipping to either. Condition not important as I'll be installing a giken gear kit into it. Preferably comes complete with clutch fork, shifter etc. Or will swap for my current z32 housing

I'm also very interested if anyone can sujggest a way to switch off the 4wd without switching off the ABS.

thanks Amaru/Morgs/NA Changed the plugs to the suggested NGK's - car started first hit of the starter. Problem seems to be resolved thanks very much guys. The car belched black smoke and soot for a while then settled down to normal. The fouled plugs that came out were HKS S-40's - not sure weather it is worth finding another set of those rather than the copper NGK's. For info - the NGK BCPR6ES come in BCPR6ES-11, there is no difference except the -11 designation means the plugs are preset to 1.1mm plug gap - so no adjustment of those required prior to install. Anyone got any suggestions as to why the intercooler pipe would blow off in the first place?

I've only had my R32 GTR for a week and already its broken down! Went for a quick run, 1st, 2nd, 3rd then backed off. Next corner the car lost all power - felt like it was running out of fuel, then it conked out altogether. Thought maybe we had run out of fuel so dropped a few more litres of unleaded in it - it started but still running like a dog - clouds of black smoke out the back and no power. Got the car home and found the intercooler pipe had blown off the turbo side of the intercooler. It makes sense car would be running bad with intercooler pipe off since afm's would be reading zero so running very rich. Anyway, I put the pipe back on and refilled with PULP but car still running bad - now it wont even start at all. Did the standard investigations - check for spark and fuel and both are OK. Plugs are very black/sooty, and there is very strong smell of fuel through exhaust. How could the intercooler pipe blow off, and why would the car run like a dog/not start once that is fixed? Seems like the computer is pumping way too much fuel through? Can anyone give me any advice at all? thanking you with all my newbieness
