as you can see(hear) the gearbox is knacked so thats on my shopping list for this month.

sounds expensive

not really, im in talks with someone on sxoc who has a rebuilt one for £250.:) so then i'l have to do the work myself when the garage is empty.

here another view of the car

you can call me whelan whelberg

Trusty matey.

Get the box done n we will go tandom on the driftspot.

tandem sounds good mate!

would look real impressive too as well as build up control skills.

im lookin forward to it. but it will be maybe 3weeks off yet (bills first )

Gutting about the hole matey

Unfortunatly, the S13's can get it bad

At least you have nipped it before it got terminal...

Maybe worth a little look on the rear chassis legs, back of the sills, suspension turrets and subframe mounts to make sure nothing it taking to rot there

yeh stuy i checked all over after noticing that hole and it looks ok.

some of the bush's need replacing as they are starting to erode a bit. might invest in new roll bars too. there is allot that i would love to do to the car but as usual its all down to £££

well guess were i have been today?



yup in the garage AGAIN. i went and got a second hand gearbox from a pre-face lift model from a place in wales. so set to work fitting it.

below is a picture of the sump plug. so much metal? it has only been driven to work the odd time so it shows how bad the box was because its only been 2 weeks since i changed the oil.



have a look at my oil! lovely metallic colour now



so much metal destroyed into fine piece's that it now looks gold!!!!!

cleaned up the new box and swapped the speedo parts over as the pre facelift gearboxes use a different connector for the wiring.





all fitted. just needs the zorst fitted and straightened.





fixed up zorst



oh well all in a days life of 200sx ownership

things to do:

buy n fit new anti roll bars.
buy n fit duel headlights (still).
buy n fit oil catch tank.
buy n fit new braided turbo hoses (found a leak today)
buy n fit new pneumatic clutch thingymajigga
and god knows what else

pics look ok. they were taken with my nokia N95 that im well chuffed with.it can do better but my hands were covered in oil and my uncle was seeing his are with me wanting to take pics rather than do work haha

more eye candy

Exellent matey at least your almost back on the road.

ME NEXT

Great stuff mate.

Bet you're learning a lot too doing the work youself?

You can never take enough pictures, especially if you need to rely on them putting stuff back together lol

Good WORK fella, at least those jobs are out the way now and you have a peace of mind.

Time to Play lol

You still got this matey???
