NXTIME

I am looking into having a TRUST (Quaife) 6 Speed dogbox layshaft (Part # E-3F1-11) remade locally in Australia and would like to see if anyone would also be interested in this part. I know that Quaife no longer make this part, or at least, it will take months and plenty of $$$ to have one made. Looking at having it made by one of the well-known box manufacturers in Aus. This is effectively an EOI, however, I will be making at least two as I know of another box that needs a layshaft as these seem to be a common breakage part in these boxes. PM me or post your interest in here.

Zubra, there is no need to be so aggressive and fling insults. Your first post appeared to be very judgemental on a car that has taken years to build and one that runs 8.3 on its maiden pass (to be the 2nd quickest Skyline in Aus, I believe?). The rest of your posts have gone downhill even further. Why does almost every drag thread have to descend into such ignoramic unplesantries so quickly? At least wait until the car's second meet Now, back on topic. Awesome performance from Alex in the Birrong Automotive R33. Does anyone know if the car had any damage on Friday? Look forward to its next meet.

I can help with the drag day...

Actually, the rolling diamter would be very close front to back and would work on a GTR. However, the offsets are wrong. If these were the correct offsets for a GTR I would also have jumped on them. One of the best wheels for GTR's.

Soooo....when is the Drag day? And the Dyno day?

Had this box checked. It is in excellent condition and has been rebuilt with S3 gearbox parts. Will get pics up soon. Otherwise inspection can be arranged in the Campbelltown area

For your car, it will be just a blue slip, however, if you get unlucky, you might be selected to go an RTA Inspection station and have the car checked by the RTA (for repairs and VIN ID). NB: There are new rules as of 31 Jan 2011 for "writtten-off" vehicles in NSW: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/written_off_vehicles/index.html http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/faqs_110128.pdf

Yeah, sory, mistyped them. OS Box Ratios: 1st gear 2.695 2nd gear 1.703 3rd gear 1.236

ITEM: Complete R32/33 GTR gearbox with 1st/2nd/3rd OS Giken gearset. Ratios: 1st gear 2.695 2nd gear 1.236 3rd gear 1.703 CONDITION: Bought this used with previous owner stating only 5,000km done on box. Appears to be in very good condition and I am happy for inspections. Might get it checked again as it has been laying around for a while. Will throw in a quick shifter also. REASON FOR SALE: Was keeping this as a spare for my dogbox, but no longer needed. LOCATION: Sydney, NSW. PRICE: $3,900. No lowballers or timewasters please.

Very nice spec list. Will go and sound even better. PS, that plenum isn't an Endless item.

I might just keep these and build a spare head for later use...

get your insurance company to fight it for you and have them do a forensics report on the accident (both cars) from which they can determine if the other car had an indicator on etc as well as angle of impact etc. It wont be easy as she will probably put in a 'not a fault' claim with her insurer. But it's the best shot you've got.

head parts still available

$1700 delivered Australia-wide

I am surprised that a bolt was actually able to make it to the oil pump. Excellent to hear about Nitto's service

Hey all, I am after a blown GTR gearbox to use for parts (casings, bolts etc). Sydney area preferred and, NO, I won't be paying $400 for a blown one. Thanks, Charlie.

end of year bump

Tommo, I hope your engine doesn't take as long as my oil pump bracket.....

I'm tempted...but one (Nissan) money-pit is enough

Used Apexi 280° 11.5mm lift cams and springs, plus NEW retainers and NEW lifter buckets reduced to $1700 only until Christmas

Glad to see your engine done and car almost ready. However, it would be nice of Paul to respond to sms's and answer/return phone calls...
