Looked fantastic out on track!! I said to the mrs i wonder power that escort van was running , it was absolutly flying! Sounded like a bloody plane. Is there a build thread for that anywhere?

Might be worth sending the pics to Bara motorsport for his opinion

To be fair the box was Ł325 when I bought it so cheap for 1 of these and I never planned on using this one but you know how it is lol
Will probably go for another second hand 1 for now
Interesting thing I found out though is for approx Ł3k you can get a complete brand new oem box still

Not arguing so if anyone wants any R33 or R34 bits or advice on these gearboxes speak to GTbitz on 07702 112 770 he has loads of stuff and know pretty much all there is to know on Skylines.

I have found a second hand box which is supposedly low miles and
Mint so I'm going to take a punt on that and get it at the end of the month
On another note I've sourced a replacement new ford 90amp alternator from graham Goode racing as my one was slightly low out putting a max of 13.6v
And a new toy for the Ecu is this
Picked up for an absolute steal so had to have it
10hz gps with 3 axis G-sensor so will be able to add track maps and also speed to the logging which is something I always fancied but not for the retail price lol

Is one of the rear threads bent or is it just the pic?

Replacement box nearly ready to go Back in,
This was supposedly mint and 65k miles
When I swapped the bellhousings I checked and it still has all the shifter inserts and Spring inserts in place and I when I drained the old oil there were no random bits of metal etc which is a good sign
With this box I'm gonna try genuine Nissan gear oil and motul atf fluid for the transfer box
Just need time to fit it along with the new flywheel but very busy lately
Just finished my first rollcage for someone and got an escort cosworth coming Friday for a list of jobs need doing

Not had a chance to touch the fiesta lately and it's been sitting in bits since after ford fair pretty much so took a day off work to go round today and re fit the new gearbox
Must be out of touch with my car as got gearbox back on and realised I had forgot the flywheel dust shield so had to come back off again
Anyway box now back in along with props
Tomorrow I need to tighten a couple more cap heads that I did not have the cut down Allen key to get to today then re fit exhaust
Fill then Bleed attessa pump
Fit new alternator I bought a while back
Also when re fitting the prop today I lock wired the bolts as they fell out at Silverstone pretty much so now I know that will never happen again
Then need to order some new fuel filters to fit as although they have not done a lot of miles they have been fitted for about 5 years lol
I also have my life racing f88 Ecu and full raychem loom for sale if anybody is interested Ł2200
Thanks
Marc

That dust shield is a pain in the arse when putting the engine / gearbox together!
Your car should deffo have a dog box of some description Marc!

Nice little jobber lathe that mate. I've fitted the same DRO on the one I use at work. Dropped you a text over the weekend.
