sent you a pm mate, I'm not far from you being in Aberdeen

thanks, after looking around I am basically willing to take any 350z box now providing it has an external clutch slave cylinder with fork

yeah it's for another project, I need the cd009 box as it has the strongest internals, it'll be going through a 500hp 2jz engine and custom fitting sandwich plates etc used for mounting the box to the engine

hi folks, please let me know if anyone has a cd009 for sale I'm in Scotland so if one comes up I can collect rather than have it posted from down south I don't mind either way needs to be a mint box with no whines or grinding or notchy gears etc please drop me a pm if you have one for sale and i'll be happy to deal if the price is right!

hi, specifically looking for a cd009 gearbox, the 2006 last revised model gearbox from a 350z testing my luck before i go off and hunt one of the mkiv supra 6 speed getrag boxes, the 350z cd009 boxes are supposed to be just as strong and can take 800-1000hp no problem oem part no: 32010-CD009 i'd like the box to be in as best condition as possible please, no crunching, no whines etc as it's going to be used with a high performance engine any out there? i tried to buy brand new from main dealer in japan but they said it's unavailable plus the shipping costs on a 60kg box wouldn't be cheap contact me on here, or via pm thanks. p.s. before anyone says it, i've already asked zmanalex

monday 30th nov 2015 banzai japanese car magazine shoot day! I arrived nice and early to get everything setup and the car cleaned again photographs were taken by Steve McCann, nice fella and will be doing my wedding next year too which is cool I will post his pics when i get permission, from what i've seen already they look next level! no date when it will be featured in the mag as it's just up to the editors whenever they fancy using it so i'll just be keeping an eye out for it all i can say is i'm over the moon number plate ain't real.... shots continued into the evening/sunset anyway, for now, the car is stored in the garage all nice and warm for winter coming possibly sold my rear wheels too which will give me some money to get my other work wheels chrome coated and cleaned up so the car will finally have a matching set

got myself a 4.1 ratio diff and had it welded then painted the casing silver, also put in new oil and sealed on the backplate also put in some driftworks solid front diff bushes the next thing i'd wanted to do was black out my headlights like i had done on my first s14a 5 years ago used a bosch heat gun and made them toasty hot to break the sealant, then pulled them apart which was quite tricky took out the screws and removed the chrome insets and painted them did the same to the sidelights, these are a bit harder as they are all plastic as opposed to the headlights, so more chance of bending them out of shape all i need to do is reheat them back up for refitting and i'll also be adding a bead of tiger seal around them before i push them back together i've also ordered a pair of +25mm vented front wings from kinzuru kits -------------------------- bought red lense tint spray and done the amber corners on the back lights just need to add a light layer of black over them bought new gauges from demon tweeks, 2 SPA designs 52mm half and half gauges one is water temp / battery voltage other is oil pressure / temprature all come with new sensors / loom bought an inline rad hose fitting and put the new water temp sensor in there changed the water neck on the engine and used the old oem 90 degree bend i had for my other head, (looking for one of these if anyone has one for sale) also renewed the O rings in the water pump return top pipe and put a new gasket in behind it against the head....£3.19 plus vat per washer :S then a new supra 2jz top rad hose which had to be cut down to fit since the tiger seal was out for the headlights i thought now would be a good tinme to do the bung on my rear window then the black front lights unforutnately the car sat like this during the wait for my new front wings.... after alot of chasing and so on, turns out they were behind on production, i couldn't wait as i had to get wings on the car for a test fit / drop them off to paint / refit them back onto the car in time for a photographer one quick call to EP racing, within 24 hours they were here dropped them off at stevie's on friday night, went to collect them at 8am sunday looking like this..... can't thank stevie b enough! match is perfect and paint is perfect as usual....so good of him to squeeze them in with such a short notice of time! rushed home to get them on the car as i only had two hours spare on sunday to get things 100% for monday's photo session ------------------------------------

not yet, still haven't bought a welder unfortunately. money ran low and had other things to pay for the engine I take out will be sold as it's a good one bought some ep racing bonnet spacers, seen them on a few comp cars and decided that funciton>form, not a huge fan of how they look but if they work then they are staying next option is a vented dmax bonnet repaired my wind deflector which snapped in half at finalboss on track, used tiger seal and found a perfect method of holding it still haha not sure why or how but the broken off half was found by one of the staff there, many thanks to that dude! can't remember your name sorry also got round to putting the original Q's badges back on, hopefully they will stay on and won't get slapped off by a tyre haha new 235/40/17 federal 595 rsr tyres bought from mytyres.com for the front on and balanced bought a 350z steering pump and some cnc made brackets from steven donnelly at diemax, great guy and very helpful! highly recommend him! these retain the stock location of the power steering pump but using the 350z pump, so i didn't even have to change my aux belt installed, i just had to change the position of my fuel pipe since the feed pipe is slightly different now and the fuel rail AN fitting i used was originally made around the old pump rolled her outside and started the car filled with fresh new steering fluid as i'd drained the system unfortunately my japspeed radiator had cracked along the bottom tank, it was spraying water onto the aux belt and causing it to squeak that was the end to my weekend, i had arranged to go drifting on sunday too so the saturday was a massive disapointment for me after doing all that work on the car with the roll bars, new tyres etc then this.... koyo rad ordered through auto extreme, which also means i now have to make a new front pannel as it was made around the s13 japspeed rad which isn't as wide as the koyo one got my 1jz rocker covers back with 2xan10 breathers welded on, one hole blocked off by the turbo also a 22mm pipe welded into the alloy sump for the drain thanks to auto extreme, my koyo rad arrived also ordered a koyo rad cap, unfortuantely doesn't come with a new cap! fitting was a bit of a nightmare due to the old japspeed rad being smaller, the new front rad pannel had to be redone chopped off what was there, cut slits into the existing pipe and bent it further forward to gain more angle, then paul it welded back up then cut out a small piece on each side and welded the gaps, this allowed the rad to come properly forward this time welded shut the gaps then sprayed to prevent rust getting there tacked rad mounts in place before fully welding top hose done, i have ordered a mkiv supra radiator hose kit to see if that will work better and just have one silicone top pipe rather than a join was missing the lower part of my mk3 supra fan shroud so paul shaped a piece of aluminium to fit oil cooler mounts welded back on and it just needs painted now this time with a fan shroud unfortunately i had to miss out on the november 1st skid day at driftland as i bought a car the weekend before so all my spare money/drift fuel money was used on the car and transport tickets to england and fuel all the way back to scotland for my new daily

bought some more parts, can't wait to go drifting again A31 Cefiro front anti roll bar, ultra racing 27mm Super pro Front anti roll bar drop links and bushes ultra racing front 27mm D poly bushes super pro polybush rear anti roll bar D bushes super pro rear drop links and poly bushes also bought a stock rear anti roll bar (18mm) and then had it blasted and powdercoated along with all D bush brackets conceptua tuning gave me an awesome deal on the roll bar parts and some other engine bits i've ordered for something else unforutnately i got ripped off £80 just for powdercoating the roll bar, i'm not going back there again! everything is absoltuely covered in grease and the superpro supplied grease, i'm very much against leaving things dry and prone too failure plus it means next time you come to work on it, you just wipe the grease off and the threads/bushes are like brand new underneath, for example, my alignment last month! the a31 rb cefiro anti roll bar clears the 1jz front sump fully, i did have too trim down two brace brackets on the nismo style front bar however it still has the solid bar fitted so no difference there really also had to reduce my steering lock, thankfully i'd thought about this when making the front end, the lock stops were easy, just undone the two 22mm nuts and unscrewed the lock stops forward so the wheels don't hit the new roll bar it has been a great weekend, i took the car out for a run afterwards and it's quite different now, it certainly stays more level now also this week a spare kouki rear bumper turned up which i have planned to get repainted as mine has a few marks -------------------- so i'm starting a new project, a new engine, some fun basically to get going in my spare time. the plan is to have an engine with some better down low power, spools the turbo quciker and is 100% reliable and fresh new piston rings, new head gasket, new cams, new gaskets everywhere etc bought a new block, more info on this later started stripping my spare 1jz head took it down to a local head shop along with some new stem seals, (24 in total) all valve guides are nice and tight, he said the only bad bit was one valve was showing sign of burning the seat, you can see it in this pic so 24 valves cleaned, polished, shimmed and reground later, and 24 new stem seals the head had 7thou remvoed and resurfaced P.S THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CURRENT ENGINE! this is just a bit of a fun side project

also getting my bumper back team tekno guys in the 86's were so good to watch, let alone drive with, that's me up front - - - Updated - - - my fav pic, so good! gave my mate fraser a lift home on the sunday, thanks to him and jamie for taking wheels down, bad luck his wheel spacer sheered and gave up down there since getting home, the car has sat in the garage, been busy with other stuff got the bottom of the rear 1/4 pulled out, bought a new pair of spats and they are now off to get painted silver, i only needed one but couldn't buy them seperate i'll get some of the footage i'd asked photographers to send me uploaded to youtube and on here soon my changes for the next drift day, i want to put a set of anti roll bars on my car (never ran any), get the alignment done properly, soften the rear damping, run less tyre pressure on the back and run wider rear tyres ------------------------------------------------------------------ spats arrived dropped them off at stevie's to get painted took the car for another alignment, this time at a different place front caster wasn't too far off for having never been setup since i put the car together, annoyingly nobody could set it/had a machine that could that i knew of until now all better! just got too try level off my front camber as one side has more, i think it's because recently i had the front hub bolts slack and maybe didn't pull the hub out when tightening them again

had the car into wallace performance for an alignment check, they still couldn't get the castor set as the machine won't pick it up on my car needing to get it checked somehow soon as it's never been set right! then loaded the car up and made the trip to driftland for the may weekender only done the saturday and went home as i ran out of tyres/had stuff to do on the sunday arrived there after a long drive with the garage hobo lot, unfortunately paul's mk3 supra done the bottom end in on the way down so his weekend was cut short got my first few laps in....was VERY nervous and shi**ing myself haha, first time drifitng in 10 months (ignore the temp gauges, camera caught them funny) ran the full outside anti clockwise so loads of speed along the wall then a big throw into the corner thanks to the photographers who took pics of me skidding, hit them up on facebook and give them a like! new turbo setup: awesome! i have had to re-learn how to drive the car on the track, it requires a solid commitment to keep it in boost while drifting since it's a big laggy as it'll immediately grip throwing you wherever it wants if you don't keep your foot planted i'd bought a gopro hero 3 white edition, here's a small clip from one of my track sessions, took a young lad out from the pits who loved it! was his first time in a drift car i still refuse to skid/manji along the wall after last year's spin haha. MORE SEAT TIME NEEDED!! i was slowly building my confidence by the end of the day, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MORE SEAT TIME AND PRACTICE IN!!

changed to another 4.3 diff got sick of the gfb controller laying ontop of my dash just flying arond tiger sealed a bolt onto the back as it doesn't come with a holder, you only get a piece of sticky back tape for mounting it which didn't work well on my dash used an existing hole for the old fan switch and put it to good use removed the 70mm greddy gauge and sold it to a mate, replaced it with a smaller 60mm greddy gauge and a random ebay holder which broke as soon as i tried to push the gauge through had some spare time at work waiting between jobs, took the backbox off and had some proper buffing pads on the grinder, finally got a good shine back bought a new wide angle lens attachment on ebay for a tenner so tried it out chopped up a silencer and made it fit my backbox car is nearly ready to come home, all that's left is a fan shroud and i've got some 1200 degree capable silicone on the way for sealing the turbo vband better also got a black turbo blanket on the way so i'll be selling that kevlar one i have on just now new turbo jacket turned up thanks to my mate alex, we rolled the front arches as the tyres were constantly catching, wasn't too worried how they would turn out as i want vented wings anyway, plus one wing is slightly bent from my headlight hitting the wall at finalboss last year one side came out really good the passenger side, not so well, the arch liner retainer tab caught the inside of the arch and caused a crease so we gave up while we were ahead haha it'll be sorted one day however i'm really keen on getting some vented +20mm front wings from srb power and a dmax bonnet so i'll see what 2015 brings tonight i properly done the driver side harness, it's wrapped around the cage and properly adjusted for me now with all that done i took her out for a run since the roads had sort of dried up

made up the last section to join the backbox on also got the exhaust sitting at a slight angle which was exactly what i'd wanted then every join was stainless tig welded paul had to take the downpipe to his work to use a different tig plant which could pulse and go slightly lower amp's than his own one, this will hopefully stop the downpipe moving with good heat management took my camera down to the workshop for some better pics, anti roll bar will be off again, it was only on there to use as a guide for making the exhaust the front is also support with tie wraps since the downpipe was off wish i could weld properly, i'll be looking into my own tig plant soon and going to make an attempt at starting to learn, i know a fair bit now through picking up from what paul's told me so it should be good fun diff will be changed this week because i'm sick of the green backplate now haha! downpipe back from welding including the lambda sensor flange i'd made a tag was welded onto the downpipe and a bracket made up with an A brace to support the downpipe also the wideband bung was put in further down and a new hanger made for the center pipe off the gearbox mount box section

bought a new pipercross foam filter from demon tweeks, want to keep up the black theme in the engine bay need a black turbo blanket now! paul managed to get a spare evening to do some more welding on the exhaust, it's so time consuming! another 5 hours spent on the car and it literarly looks like it took 10 minutes to do, the begining of the 3" > oval piece was made after the downpipe then slowly began to take shape of an exhaust braced it off the gearbox mount to stop any pulling on the downpipe since it's not welded yet here's a view from the sill looking at the chassis leg....can barely see the exhaust we have raised it up along the floor too so it actually sits higher than the backbox now
