Forgot to add, I did remember to fill the box up with oil before I drove off with my new clutch ;)

djtreble, I hate to admit that you are right, I must get over my fear of gearboxes, just like I got rid of my fear of spiders (I currently own around 60 tarantulas lol,went a little overboard there!!)

I will open it up, have a look, worst comes to worst I need a new box, which I set out to do anyway.

Oh and yes... the catpiss thing.... my gf would not come closer than about 7 meters of me for 3 days :roll:

tomorrow new plugs, fuel filter, and possibly injectors.

1st thing welcome
2nd did you get your box sorted??

I know the guys at nissan in alberton and a relative of the workshop manager owens a diff and gearbox center ( he has an awesome R35) anyway I told him sometimes my box scratches in 3 when I select it but he said ill make his company bankrupt because of all the torque thats making the scraping sound
He said when it brakes I must go to him

So if you still need help maybe get him to do it for you

Not yet sorted,

I am sourcing bearings, valve stem seals, gaskets and oil seals.
I have decided to open up the motor and have a look what is going on there, it's never been opened in 20 years!! also I have something going on when the motor is cold, like a lifter (most likely) or a slight bearing knock (maybe just as likely, the motor is old) when she warms up i just hear exhaust, injectors clicking away and a faintly squeaking pulley, no lifter noise, so I am thinking/hoping its just cold oil trying to make it's way through a semi constricted lifter

I knew this day would come though lol. And most likely, for a few grand extra I can buy a SR20 clip, but I like my CA, and I am not looking for anything over 200kw, I recon the CA can handle that reliably, but that requires throwing some money at it.... maybe I should think it over a little more

thanx for all the suggestions and help guys!

Louis.

Yo guys! Sorry to kick a dead (or still partially alive) horse. But my SX has also recently started pee'ing petrol by the injectors (little pools beneath / in between the injectors and fuel rail).

Just wanna confirm that it is the fault of leaky seals? Thanks! :D
