Hey guys,

Have the following items to flog:

1 x S14 5 speed gearbox rather noisy on idle, runs EXCELLENT, no crunching no funny business what so ever other than the noise at idle.

As soon as the clutch is engaged or the car is driven its entirely silent. Could have been the clutch? I turfed the clutch that was ROOTED beyond use when I did the engine swap and used my spare gearbox. I suspect the intermediate bearing, if you know how to pull the box down it is a $20 fix.

The internals are all solid, no excessive play in the input shaft, and the oil that was drained did not have signs of wear (no shavings, no metallic residue).

$200 FIRM. Pickup syd or ship at entirely your expense and effort.

You know what it looks like.

4 x 17x7 FOX racing rims with Dunlop lemans 702 tyres

Have only travelled 600km from new, was on a mates weekender that never gets driven. Hes now going for the sleeper look and swapped out for his stockies again.

$700, again ship at entirely your expense and effort.

The tyres are worth more alone. Would suit some of the NA kids of someone with silvia base that want cheap reasonable rims with excellent tyres. 2 minor scratches for careless parking, cry moar.

Cheers!

Getting a few of the same questions in PM, will add info here.

Box was removed after noise developed. New motor, gearbox, clutch etc was installed, so I cannot verify that the box was infact the noise maker.

The input shaft has very little freeplay which is normal, after a brief inspection I am assuming the intermediate bearing is what is causing the sound.

And for those wanting to ask this, no you cannot put it in and live with it like that :( it will when it is otherwise a good gearbox in need of a minor fix.

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
