Nissan have quoted you for a complete suspension upright as they do not sell the ball joint separately. Good luck with the super glue.

Got your shout mate and I am working on it, Unfortunately they are 350Z specific.

Yeah those are the ones with the clips. I will give you a shout once I hit the wheel store before the end of the week,

Clean up, inject some fresh grease and glue and you will be fine. However the ball joint can be replaced including a new rubber boot at circa £50.00 In stock and good to go same next day. Just drop me a PM if you wish to go that route. Alex.

Very annoying but it is what it is and just got to deal with it. That is the trade off in venturing into the realms of circa 700 lbs ft torque. I am fortunate that I can fix these issues and that I have the premises and tools and equipment to deal with such eventualities. I have never seen or heard of a (1st motion shaft) final drive gear failing.

Providing the syncros do not give up, the early boxes are usually fine. However the 3 teeth that sheered off were central to an oil gallery feed supply hole. And as it was a 1st motion shaft failure (main drive gear) then it has got to be down to the torque. Good luck with your box mate, however I would not envisage that you will have any issues as they are robust albeit a bit agricultural.

Yeah Gary, got one last week but not as cheap as the one in the link that you PM'd me.

Well it had to happen eventually. The car is producing 720bhp at the wheels and circa 700 lbs.ft. Used predominantly on track, but still loved and cherished. For those of a technical disposition this is the original box from a 2005 350Z Roadster (28,000 miles) and not the later CD009 transmission with the improved syncros. However the part that failed is shared by all VQ35DE gearboxes. Unfortunately not worth of fixing as the cost of replacing the damaged part (Main Drive Gear) and the marrying counter shaft gear set and upgrading the syncros to CD009 quality would exceed the cost of a new CD009 gearbox from over the pond at less than 2k delivered to my shop.

BARGAIN: DO IT:

I am sure that I have some in stock. The centres are diamond cut and I think I have one new one in stock. I think that I may have some preowned also in stock These clip on and are not the seal type.

Who quoted you £345.00 ?

I just dump these in the skip as there is no demand for them. Can't even give them away.

Pm received and replied to. Plenty in stock.

to the forum.

Pre owned front and rear are in stock and good to go same/next day. Quite happy to post them out. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex.

DE or HR ?

Same situation where a member posts up in the Wanted section. If I have the parts in stock and can help a fellow member, I will post up that I have the parts and that they are in stock etc. Then some other members post up directing the guy to Ebay. I have never quite figured that one out.

In stock from a 27,000 mile HR 350Z. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex.

As I recommended by PM. CMS carry the fluids and the moly in stock.

to the forum I think that you are a bit light with the costings of the SC upgrades.

Plenty in stock, just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex.

Cameron Plenty in stock, just drop me a pm if I can help further. Alex.
