Luckily 5/8ths of f**k all - you can usually pick them up for bugger all as a LOT of stag drivelines get brought in to the country with the boxes attached and the box and transfer case get flung pretty smartly. about $200 is the going rate here in WA last time I checked.

yep, the manual one has a gearstick coming out of it :down:

Anywho, my battery on my laptop is almost dead. i've been on the side of the M4 for almost 3 hours now. apparently the right tow truck is coming to get me and take me to Bathurst, so I should be home around 12am... just in time to get up for work 4 hours later!!

Yeah I just got home then, the truck driver was awesome taking me all the way to Bathurst. I guess that's why I pay for the premium cover with NRMA. now to start fixing the old girl... *sigh*

Shit Leshy, you should have called me - I would have come to at least keep you company. I only live about 10mins from where you broke down!

Oh well, at least you're home safe. Now for the repairs and bills :D Hope you can claim it under warranty.

the gear stick comes out of the transfer case :blink: ??????

That's correct. I went through the exercise last time my transfer case gave up.

I'm just speculating but i'm pretty sure my driveshaft is stuffed, the clutch has dropped to the floor so something to with that is stuffed, there's a whole lot of gearbox oil on the ground (and the back of the tilt tray) so there's a hole in the transfer case or gearbox somewhere, i'm pobably up for about $2k worth of repairs here. i'll see how much i can do myself, but i don't like the chances of it.

Thanks Nick, I was thinking you lived nearby, but i left your number in my other phone, i only had my work phone on me.

were about in adelaide r u. im from noarlunga well have to keep in touch 4 cruises.

and yeah that gearbox issue sounds suss

Oh man that sucks the big one! :)

If its your driveshaft that blew, how recently was your gearbox fixed the first time? Try hitting up the mechanics for a repair. Was it bearing failure? Check the docket/invoice from you previous work to see what was involved. It might be covered.

Sorry, the only assistance I can give seeing I'm in Adelaide and you're on the side of the M4.

:laugh:

Added: can you get pics of the damage/break? Post 'em up

Before you spend bunches of dollars, have a look at your wheels

Are the wheel nuts tight?

Is there dried mud etc in the wheel? A bit of fun in the mud is enough to kick the balance out of your wheels

So take to with a hose or just wriggle underneath and browse a bit

Dude, did you read this thread thru, or just post after reading the first reply? :D

His car is beyond loose wheel nuts and/or mud :P

:rofl:

Well got her up on the hoist today. it's not too bad, but probably as bad as i expected.

When the drive shaft let go, it basically punched a hole in the side of the transfer case. so all i'm up for is a new drive shaft and a new transfer case. i'll give just jap a call tomorrow, but i'll have a look around on the forum for a cheap transfer case first.

the mechanic also told me my water pump was leaking heaps and my front tyres were both bald... he just lumped on the good news didn't he....

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
