    Valve shims wanted !!

    I wasnt that impressed with the ones from Australia, they were not very accurate and imo a waste of money. Best method is to simply measure the gap, and punch out the required thickess from a feeler blade and insert it into the shim bucket. Its much cheaper and more accurate, :blush:

    Gearbox Advice Wanted! New to R Ownership!

    Doing a rebuild yourself isnt as daunting as you might think, As long as you have the right tools (bearing pullers, feeler gauges, seal removers and a press) you can do it. Just follow the workshop manual to the letter and be OCD and document and carefully store every part you remove. All...

    Gearbox shaft

    The input shaft seal shouldn't leak at all, especially when static, :anguished: Replacing it is a pain because you have to open up the gearbox and remove the input shaft assembly to get to it, something which I've just done myself.

    Gearbox baulk (synchro) rings?

    Thanks for clearing that up Splmum, that's good news. :) I've just came back from my works measurement labs where i measured the wear limits on the removed synchro and both are well in spec at 0.8 and 0.7mm. This is good news in that i can reuse them (tbh there was no signs of wear on any of the...

    Gearbox baulk (synchro) rings?

    All other synchro gaps and gear floats are within spec, just 2nd synchro is out of spec. Ive removed the bearings which allowed me to slide off the 2nd synchro which is a dual cone type. Will Nissan sell both wear rings as a set? The reason i ask is that the manual and Nissan4u only states one...

    Gearbox baulk (synchro) rings?

    yeah, i agree. I've never understood why some people buy parts like timing chain, baulk rings, cam shafts etc 2nd hand. It's not much more money to buy them new and get peace of mind after all the effort of fitting them. :innocent:

    Gearbox baulk (synchro) rings?

    Hello All, I've stripped my gearbox and noted 2nd gear has too much float and synchro wear so i need to get a new one? Is a dealership the best/only place to get this? :)

    Hairline Cracks in head - is it Fubar?

    I've heard most heads have hairline cracks in anyway. My gut feeling is that these are stress relief cracks and the engine would have shat itself A long time ago if they were still opening up. Milage states 110k by the way.

    Hairline Cracks in head - is it Fubar?

    Just removed my head and found some hairline cracks running between plug and exhaust valves in Cylinders 2, 3 and 4. Are these show stoppers? My plan is to grind them away, rebuild and run engine at max 300bhp max If it is a show stopper does anyone have one for sale!
