Hey all, got out of work today and what do i find my door handle jammed up(the whole thing) and my lock destroyed. Thank god the little bastards didn't even get into the car but it is going to be a pain in the arse to replace/fix. If i came accross them i swear i would rip off there nuts and make them watch me grind them into mince meat.

Now i have that off my chest is there any place in adelaide that would be a start to look for new one? price?post-15951-1159963160.jpg

Sorry to hear about it! You'd be surprised what a crash repairer could do with that .... I had my S15 fixed (had 50% the damage of yours) including respray door for $350. I would ask at Nissan dealers for the actual door handle and lock - should be easy to get (mine was fixable). Expect about $200 for handle and lock I would think.

Thanx guys, i will go see one of my dad's friends tomorrow before work see what he thinks at least you have given me a little hope that it might not be too bad. i'm also going to see if there is video on the carpark. i did find it funny that they hurt themselves in the process and left disgusting blood on my car.

^^^ I'm hearing ya, they touch ma car and i'll touch them! Also another reason to have a daily....... while my line is locked up under a car cover! working arvo shift in Plympton isn't the best place to be driving my car, espesially when i went out for 5 mins a few months back and noticed when i came back there was a car on fire down the end of the road!

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...

      More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Pay diff/trans workshop to do this.   Nope. Z32 turbo ran R230 with 6 bolt GTR style axles. All other Z32 were R200. Basically same same as other R32 stuff. All were a viscous waste of space.

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
