In a great end to the year my gearbox may be going the way of the dodo

After a little spirited driving this arfternoon it suddenly decided to put its self into "safe mode" or whatever it's called. 3rd gear only and the A/T light was up on the dash. Pulled over quickly, turned her off and let her sit for a little while. Struggled slightly when starting her back up, bit of a lurch and was back idleing like normal. Was a bit cautious on the way home.

Major sadface, can't afford an expensive mechanical issue, I wanted to buy an S13 in a couple of months.

rebuild,trans cooler and shift kit and extra clutches fixed. I have just the guy to do it and hes around the corner from you.

[-Boz-]

Trans cooler is already in place shift kit is desireable, and a high stall as well.

Any idea what he charges for all that? Contact number/website so I can get a quote?

Mangs,

Last day of holidays for me Sadly didn't get everything finished on the GTR. New turbos are on but the oil drain hose for the front turbo is now too short to get onto the block. so tried to get a length of hose today and the only place open didn't carry any that size, I'll have to sort something out in the week. Also forgot to buy gaskets for the dumps to the front pipes and Autopro failed me once again by only having 1 gasket in stock.

Other than that the break has been a relative success. All the hard part is done with the turbos so now all I have to do is fit the intake stuff and remainder of the exhaust and then sort out a bracket system for new pod filters. Then the only other thing to do is install the new fuel pump and get it to Dans/EFI for injectors, cam gears and a tune.

Also managed to get the bike running again with Dad's help and helped Dad swap the suspension over into the ute. Once the GTR is sorted we can focus a bit more on getting the motor in the ute and everything up and running. I think next up Dad wants to strip and paint the engine bay.

Boz that sounds like a perfect excuse for manual conversion. Do et!

Brandon I can't do this weekend because I'll be finishing everything off on the GTR ready for the cruise the week after. Maybe the third weekend in January? or is that too close to Straya day? I dunno either way we'll get something sorted.

Colin the engine bay paint probably won't be too hard to strip, it was just rattle can black

[SABBAi]

Back to work today....

Col, is the line to short or does the oil drain fitting hit the housing?I may be able to get hold of some drain fitting spacers for you. Just need longer bolts to fit the drain.

[Beelzebub89]

Line is too short. It's only 10mm but the hose looks pretty tired anyway so may aswell replace it.

Back at work, industrial RDO = 6 guys on site not including us. Busy busy day

[Smity42]
