G'day team SAU

I'm looking for a old engine block or 2 to make up a table or 2 and wine rack...... or 2

Not fussed if they're iron or alloy blocks

But the more cylinders the better

The blocks I would want to get are your typically straight 4 or 6 cylinder JDM hero engines, or any V8 or bigger (more cylinders= more wine bottles)

So if your block has just been tested and come up with cracks, or has had one to many rebores or gouges to be reused, hit me up

The going rate on cracked blocks is scrap weight, but, I am happy to take them off your hands and supply some booze, or cash in return, to a point, and the more cylinders the more booze, or cash, if cash is your thing.......

I'm in Holsworthy 2173, but can travel around the Sydney region to pick it/them up at your convenience

PM me if you have something I may be interested in and we can talk turkey

Cheers

      Fourth gear grind

      How fast are you doing the downshift? 4th gear was revised multiple times until 1998 to fix this issue. Synchro clips can fall out, synchros can wear. Most likely you're looking at a new transmission unfortunately. If you need to limp it until then double clutch downshifts into 4th.

      Sorry I was being harsh there, but am I wrong? You can buy a M340i easily, and there's loads available second hand. A lot more workshops modifying them as well. How about getting parts for them? Don't get me wrong, I'd love a 400R, even a 4cyl (I looked at a few V36s before buying my shitbox BMW). Sadly Infiniti died in Aus and we're stuck with importing them as niche vehicles. Supply and demand

      Yes I think we changed out the transmission fluid as I had a leak last year so we changed out the seals also. Need to check.    I should have said just change from 5th to 4th gear … down shift. There’s a grind.    I have a new clutch X clutch … but as I said all the changes in other gears are fine.

      Change the transmission fluid. I would try Motorcraft XT-M5-QS if you have it in your area for a reasonable price. Also, double check your clutch is fully disengaging. If you are not pushing the clutch pedal to the floor fully for every shift now is the time to start. Make sure the clutch is fully bled. The damper line requires two distinct bleed points to be purged of air or it will not disengage the clutch properly. If either hydraulic cylinders input or output are losing hydraulic pressure in their seals/leaking you can have problems like this. If you've ruled out everything else then the most likely explanation is the synchros are worn and you need to double clutch the shift or rebuild/replace the transmission. The transfer case is discontinued FYI so you may want to rebuild it while you're in there too. If the chain stretches past spec it can do a ton of damage.
