Ha good stuff
Got an appointment for Thursday at 330 to get my car inspected and the tires mounted to the XXR's finally :waiting:
Nice! What XXR wheels are you running? More importantly, what tires?Quote:

Me either honestly but they look okay so o well

Some updates about my car...the innevitable finally happend..and i screwed up a transmission, but i didn't break a gear at least
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEBbU...&feature=youtu
I already took the trans out and broke it down, the collar for 3/4 is ruined. The synchro just didn't engage the gear and it annihilated the collar teeth so the collar can't slide from 3/4 easily enough. On top of that, my 3rd gear has serious stress marks so i am gonna put in an ep3 trans. I will post pictures tonight
On top of that, my downpipe also cracked so i will bet getting full hasports 75a mounts and re-welding the DP...i knew i heard an exhaust leak
Semi plus side...until i found out i couldn't get them on right now.

The lug nuts i got NG-r's don't quite work for me, i need spline or narrower lugs to fit. So these also won't be going on for a bit longer.
Those tires look tough man! :thumb:Quote:

Sadbanana. Sorry to hear about the gear situation, at least you'll be upgrading with the ep3 trans. And the wheels and tires look dope! Lots of meat, love tuose direzzas. I just don't want to take my perfectly fine N3000's off and buy those. Hmm, we'll see. If you can, please document/record your tranny swap for the rest of us/future users. When will you be doing the swap?
:yeathat: what size tire are they. I'm almost to the point where I'll be needing new fronts. And I've been eyeing these for some time.

He has 245/40/17 star spec z1's on 8.25'' wide rims. I fit 235/40/17 star spec z1's on my stock rim (7'' wide) just fine.
Well, the trans is already out of my car and broken down actually. Thats how i know the issue is the collar. I am shooting to have the car done by the end of this week. I will try to get as many pictures as I can but its already a long and drawn out process. (although it give me the chance to show off my 4 megapixel camera with ultra pixle technology :giggle: ) I will see what i can do though. Currently i am waiting on a bearing for the countershaft.Quote:

4th gear on the ep3 trans had a small nick so i replaced that gear

Done and done...gear set fully assembled
http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1368063432
Did you replace 4th on the main shaft as well? I believe they have to be a matching set. I'm guessing you used your 06 si 4th as the replacement for the ep3's 4th.Quote:

You are correct that you must use the same ratio gear on both the main/ countershaft. I am using the ep3 4th on both. When this gear set was shipped to me the counter shaft 4th had the nic in the picture. The seller was nice enough to send me a replacement gear. Thats what i put on to replace the damaged one.Quote:

I agree, but better packaging the first time around would have prevented it. I was a bit angry about it, but at least he did the right thing and replaced the part that was damaged.Quote:

Wow, all these tranny pics/rebuilds amd chatter has me more comfy with changing my tranny. And I still have no idea how to change anything tranny wise. But I sure don't feel as bad about it lmao.
Thanks for taking and posting pics, I really wanna get a "fact sheet" sticky going that has all the notes you need for a swap. For example, that the mainshaft gear and countershaft gear have to be the same ratio (can't use ep3 and Si unless the ratio is the same, for example)
If you can drop the trans you can easily rebuild it, it really is fantastically easy when you actually dive in. Things really can't go on in the wrong order and if they do, they won't line up and the issue will be obvious.Quote:

So i am now using the 4.7 FD that added a bit more work to my swap. If you get the gears and FD you want it will slide right in.
Some good tips though
4.3 FD needs this bearing HON-91003-PPT-004
4.7 FD needs this bearing HON-91003-PPP-004
You need to space out the speed sensor with 2-3 washers when using the rsx or EP3 gears in a z3 case.
Since I will be using my stock 4.7 fd as is, I won't need a new bearing will I?Quote:

The third little box in the picture is the countershaft bearing!
Finally got eveything together again...
Ep3 trans with out stock 6th gear (i didn't have time to get a longer sixth :hiding:)
http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps761a4e75.jpg
All together...don't really wanna see this guy on the bench anytime soon
http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps05dc3349.jpg
Everything in the pics is already on the car. I am waiting for shift cables then the car will be golden. :waiting:
What shift cables did you get or are you just getting stock replacements?Quote:

Nice
So you're running a 5-speed now? Or are you using an oem 6th?
Hows everything, hopefully back together?
He is on a 5 speed now, but it sounds like the 5 speed he got was put together with a bunch of beat up transmissions and isn't working too well for him. He his going to replace the third gear in his old 6 speed and go back to that with the 4.3 fd. He's in OCMD this weekend, prob won't be on here!
Whelp a bit of an update. I have about 35 miles on the new trans and things are feeling good so far. The vibrations my car makes are less but still kinda more than i expected...also the throw out bearing is a bit loud...o well
I also washed / claybar'ed/ paste waxed my car for the first time ever :hiding: Decent results were had
