Spent A LOT of time reconditioning these myself. Soda-blasted, sanded, painted original (close to) BBS Gold and polished. Not too happy with the finish. Ended up picking up the wrong can of primer off my bench accidentally.... But they look loads better than they did, so i'm pretty happy with...

As an apprentice auto electrician, not even we would check the TPS voltage unless we were chasing a problem in that area. Mechanics generally don't do that sort of work, so there's absolutely no chance of them checking it for you without you asking them to do so. I would expect no noticeable...

Sorry about the delay, i've been using a place called "United Windscreen Group" Phone number is 02 8814 9981 I've dealt with a really nice bloke called Nick and his wife. If you call you'll get the receptionist. Ask for Nick and leave your number and he'll call you back. Aaron.

Well i can't help you out with your local areas, but i got a quote off a company in Penrith yesterday. They wanted to charge me $120 to remove 2 windscreens and re-fit one (take the one out of my spare micra) Or $185 brand new supplied and fitted That seems pretty fair to me, so i would expect...

Ah, thanks for the offer Doom :) but i only need the gearbox Trying to keep this repair job as cheap as possible, and it has already cost me a fair bit. But thanks anyway

Selling an auto gearbox i no longer need Removed from a running 1995 SLX Vehicle had some noise when sitting in park. Possible faulty torque converter, but to the best of my knowledge, gearbox is ok. I bought the car unregistered, so i have not driven it more than 50m. Driveshafts are FUBAR Will...

Hey Rudy Very interested in the gearbox mate, I will meet you wherever i have to. I've sent you an sms and PM, not sure if you've received/seen them. Just wondering if you are still interested in selling

Hey again, Thought i'd post this under the correct forum. I'm chasing a cheap (but good) manual gearbox in the syndey-ish region. Current gearbox has destroyed another clutch and is causing the car to run extremely rough. Replacement motor is almost ready. Need another gearbox ready to go...

Thank you Frank! :D i'll order the set now then (eBay special haha)

Hey peeps I had a quick search and couldn't find what i was after. Just wondering if the headgaskets for the auto and manual blocks are the same? Considering the block differences... I can't get a straight answer out of anybody, and i'm hoping you wonderful people can help! /kissing ass...

Ah beautiful! This may turn into a forced induction build, so this is good news! Thanks Doom :) And my apologies, i didn't spot that thread in my search

Hey again :) Quick question: Are the manual and auto ENGINES themselves the same? As in, can i bolt my manual box straight up to a motor that currently has an auto? I haven't had time to have a thorough look at the blocks But i have just ripped the motor out of my spare micra (auto) The plan...

And if that checks out ok, remove your stop/tail globes and visually check the filaments. Give the globe a light flick with your finger and make sure the filaments are intact. In some cases when the filament blows it can fall onto the other filament and cause excessive current draw or even a...

Really? DAMN! lol, just my luck The search continues...

I don't suppose anybody has a torque converter for a late 95 model they want to sell for cheap? lol Just curious about how much they're worth used/new. I have an slx sitting around wasting space, with a suspected buggered torque converter and it definitely needs drive shafts. I need the motor...

Silicon, Sikaflex, anything flexible. I use Sikalflex a lot at work. Works beautifully on all sorts of jobs

Sorry, i have to ask, could you elaborate on the issue you are having? I changed my clutch myself with a brand new oem standard exedy clutch kit.. It was silky smooth and quiet for about 1000km's. And then it went straight back to what it was doing before; it "rattles" at idle when it's engaged...

Possibilties with the info you've given us: - battery acid (if the battery was absolutely destroyed) - transmission fluid (driveshaft seal) - engine oil (rear main seal) - engine coolant (bottom radiator hose, radiator or thermostat housing) Your best bet at diagnosing the issue would be to...

Thank you guys :) OZChris: Coilovers? I wish lol. I'm running, shall we say, "custom" springs. Previous owners doing, not mine. Will run coilovers when i can afford it. RTK: That's actually my plan for the weekend haha. I will get a start on that this arvo and post some pics later :)

Up close you can see i still have a fair bit to go. Those little bits of paint left around the valves is testing my patience.
