Maybe not Synchros.

could be selector mechanisms.

Put the Redline Shockproof in and apparently it goes away.

Mine does it too.

so you have put the Redline stuff in but you are saying that you still have the noise.

i've got the crunch from 4th to 5th at over 3500rpm, have to let the revs come down a bit before switching the gears. 5th gear does work though i just cant change real fast.

Redline Shockproof Synthetic gear & diff oil ($30 per litre - great for gearboxes with worn synchros) ---- thats from unique autosports servicing dunno where they are website is www.nismo.com.au --- yeah its nismo.

That price is about right I paid about $110(WRX Club discount ask for it you will get it!) from oil world. See www.oilworld.com.au

My brother has it in the WRX and has made changes a little smoother.

I also have a crunch issue at high revs from 1st - 2nd & 3rd - 4th

I might try Redline at my next flush.

I haven't got the Oil, but my gearbox does crunch into 4th if I'm rushing it or changing wrong.

Pretty soon I will be putting in the Redline stuff.

Gotta try that before I got and rebuild the box.

I put in a friction reducing stuff when I changed the oil last time, not sure whether that had anything to do with the crunch appearing.

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).

      A CigWeld EasyWeld 130 can be had from ebay for $360 delivered. Good for 0.6 to 6mm, which would be fine for my requirements. I guess that on top of that you would need to buy a regulator, hoses and wire. I already have gloves and an auto-darkening mask. How is the gas bottle charged? Do you rent it then pay for top ups?

      RB20 being an option from factory would mean no custom parts or fabrication required, just have to collect the right bits. Probably would be the easiest option I reckon for a motor swap. How common are SR20s vs RBs in Turkey?
