  1. if you have one of these hanging around. for the springs, not too drastic pls. i just need about 5 cm
  2. bump. same question
  3. or maybe i can just stick this in? are all 3 the same thread size and depth?
  4. Hi All, My mostly trouble free 5 speed Z has started leaving g.box on the driveway and I traced it to the last switch ( looking from the front) There's a similar post on this site, but no answers Now, I found some diagrams on the net (FS5W71B) and this is the order shown reverse, top gear, o.d and neutral The thing is that I only have 3 switches. The first two are before the adapter plate, so I either need a o.d or neutral. Since I only need the reverse switch, the others dont have to work as long as they dont leak I can see this zcar depot lists , Transmission Neutral Switch 4-Spd OEM 240Z 260Z | Z Car Depot Inc but it doesnt seem to have an o-ring or a washer like the reverse switch Reverse Back Up Light Switch 240Z 260Z 280Z | Z Car Depot Inc So ... Does anyone know what the 3 rd switch is Is the neutral switch the same as o.d switch Nissan part #? Will another part fit? there are plenty of generic Nissan g.box switches on ebay
  5. Can anyone rcommend a pro rebuilder in Melb I'm getting a bit of slop in the diff No. its not the u-joints, nor the bushes. Happens when I rotate the wheel backwards and forwards with the car on a jack and is defintely inside the diff/ No whine or other problems Prefer a pro shop with all the tools and the gear Will probably change all the bearings and seals while there
  6. All those who helped me with my build over the years and have put up with my annoying question, here are shots of my completed mission https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjApTdL It shows a JDM style install with no visible signs on the interior , other than a grey control under the steering wheel. Its shown in a disassembled state , but you get the idea Uses a standard Sandem compressor on a semi-custom bracket, various off the shelf ( but all brand new) parts and custom made evaporator box. The evap was the hardest item to source as not even the smallest unit from a current car would fit , not even the smallest Suzukis or Toyotas The local A/C shop crimped the hoses for me and gassed it all up - money well spent I also upgraded the stock fan to the Honda one, as suggested on this forum In hindsight, I can see why the JDM version did not make it beyond Japan - the in-dash space is simply too small to fit a full size evaporator, which leads me to believe why the 260 HVAC was completely redesigned, it has a much bigger, sturdier evap box It works great in general, but I want to add either the full 240 stock radiator shroud (someone must have one , it was supposed to be standard on autos)
  7. Everytime I close the door, the winder handle flies off I've tried fixing it 3 times - twice with generic clips ( the ones either side of the handle) and once with a genuine nissan part ( yep got from the local nissan man for $5) the one on the left is to p...weak and the one on the right is the wrong shape the nissan one seems too wide in the centre to grip the groove on the winder shaft the handles are reproduction, made in taiwan and look identical to the originals ( i dont have any) on the net any idea?
  8. see below best offer, need the room fan unit is complete
  9. prefer with no US style plugs ( I think it was for some US only pollution equip ) and studs in good nick thank you
  10. I have a small leak somewhere in the engine bay ( can smell it) I suspect the manifold, either the head or the pipe side is slightly warped since the gaskets are new and the bolts tight Is this common? The manifold looks like a pretty chunky build are there any shops in Melb that can resurface these ?
  11. sorry dont know why the link didnt work here
  12. scoota, same problem, different year. i dont have the original switch or the original antenna, but i got myself one of these universal $30 ebay specials my questions is: if you have a look at this guy's solution you'll see he's only using 2 relays and no pulse is the pulse story limited to some brands or types. i noticed that repco and supercheap both sell the same generic aeropro brand, which looks identical to the ebay unit
  13. dont think that will fit, but thanks for looking
  14. wow. i didnt know that. maybe at some point they swapped from metal stamped to an injection molded one but kept exactly the same shape pic from nickf will reveal the mystery
  15. i think they were one piece stamped metal. the plastic one is for 260 z+ with the bigger radiator. but i may be able to butcher it. do you have some pics and dimensions pls?
