Thought I'd give you all an update on my driveshaft kerplosion.

I have an R32 GTR drive shaft on it's way. I'm picking up an R32 GTR box that's blown tomorrow from Sydney, of which i'll be pulling the transfer case off which will bolt up to my current R33 gearbox.

The mechanic said my water pump is stuffed, and my timing belt needs replacing, so I'm getting that done at the same time.

And I've just received my big end bearing seal which I thought I'd replace since after 200,000km i'm sure most things need replacing, and I can only get to that seal with the gearbox off.

Fingers crossed, I'll have the car back on the road Wednesday next week, so only about a 2 week turnaround, all thanks to my helpful SAU community selling me spare parts.

Yeah it wasn't fun, especially since i was in peak hour traffic on the M4 in the right-most lane. luckily i had awesome NRMA coverage and they towed me back to Bathurst. I'm getting a new gearbox this weekend and should have the car back on the road mid next week.

damn

its always the way, selling the vehicle and it suddenly needs major repairs, thru no fault of your own

bad luck leshy

hope it sells soon, as its very tidy

just wondering if the kms are scaring off buyers? shouldnt......................

Yeah I think it is, but what can you do? I got good usage out of the car, i'm not selling it because it's got lots of km's on it, only because I need to move on to different (not better) things. The car runs fine, it's had a lot of work done to it, but it might just take some time to find the right buyer. No biggy for me, I'm happy to hang onto it until that time.

    • 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...
