,make sure he knows this as you dont want a RB20 box or RB25 neo as its apparently not that strong as fat boy.I am willing to buy this car back if you really as sorry as you sound.BigKriss wrote:So, the following is what I need to do to the car immediately .
Change the bloody Ford v6 engine mountings some idiot fitted while doing the conversion ! HTF can you use these for this conversion ??
The conversion was done by Jacques the owner of PPR conversions and i am sure he did hes homework. His workmanship is very good. Replace every bush and rubber on this car. Have ordered all the good stuff from Rez..The steering problem ? A massive trans fluid leak from the steering rack onto the rack bushes. The bushes are fubarred ! We spent alot of time on the bushes and even fitted erergy suspension bushes, the leak must be a new thing.
I bought Subaru Recaros today. These will be fitted.
Seeing as the complete safety restraint system-airbags- were taken out -
The seats and the new wheel will look good.
A new differential is needed, holding thumbs for the ZX unit I am taking out this weekend. The diff has been completely overhauled by FSR to the cost of R4kThe fatboy gearbox is fcuked. Period. Phoned around today for one but its unobtainum.
Dont know what Ill do here yet. I will find you a box in JHB
This morning the left rear wheel bearing collapsed. So a complete new set of wheel bearings has been ordered from Edenvale Nissan. You do not want to know how much....
Had the chip in the windscreen fixed today and ordered a new windscreen just in case. Ill store it until the fateful day arrives and arrive it will, as true as eggs..
I have already looked at my braking options here and I will most likely use my setup I had done for an Alfa Race car I had earmarked.
My big red Brembos or some mono block Porsche stuff I had already bought..
Any one know where I can buy a full lock set for my car ? The keys are even worn out and dont want to lock and unlock the car that well..
I gave you the original keys including the master key. The locks might be a bit stiff cause it was hardly used. The asian wolf alarm system caters for all the lock and key requirements u can even start the car from the remote.
Some q20 in the lock will do the trick.
So, this is my sorry arsed tale at the moment. Im in too deep so I need to carry on and make her new again..
,it always seems to happen after you sell a car

BigKriss ,keep doing your thing and you will have plenty awesome hours behind the wheel , it sounds like you building a MONSTER
No problem dudeBigKriss wrote:Alistair, No problems with you bud !! Really, no hassles with you. and no, you will not buy the car back unless it for a serious premium !
I am quite prepared to do work here and sort these things out. Im not bitching here, there is just a bit more to be done than I thought.
Chommies ??
I need to have the car my way. Right now if I took her to a track day she will probably kill me.
Dont hassle about the diff and box, Ill sort that all out.
I really think you have been screwed over with the car in the past. In fact, I know you have. R4K for the diff ? It leaks like crazy and the lsd is shot.
Driving into my driveway I have to go in straight. If I go in scew the one back wheel lifts and the car stops and the free wheel simply spins in the air.
What I have realized is that the car is an old car that needs a lot of tlc. I reckon another what I paid for it should sort it completely.
Alistair, once again, I believe you had no idea of all this and I do not hold you responsible at all. Were cool bud. And I want you to still visit when you come up..
Ill keep the Ford v6 mountings to show you..
