Raising the compression?

[noriek2003]

i personally wouldn't bother tbh on standard gearset, its still going to break when you start putting some power/abuse through it..lol.

naaa, we'd just stand around, point at things and kick you a few times before dissappearing back home

 

[noriek2003]

why ?

its a waste of time and money, shot peening and cryo treating will not stop a standard gearset or case breaking.

 

[stumo]

a complete 5th gear isn't cheap

 

[noriek2003]

he hasn't broken 5th gear

 

[stumo]

ok, 5th gear hub and other shit isn't cheap.

gearbox drain plug

Hi I went to take mine out today and it was very tight. I was reluctant to give it **** as I didnt want to break it.

Do they have a history of breaking or it ok to give it stick?

 

[pulsarboby]

they can be fcukers to budge as some people put silicone round them aswell as tightening them up as hard as possible:der:

make sure you have the right 3/8 socket tool to undo them with first of all as you dont wanna be rounding the inside off (dont use a 3/8 socket bar as the edges are rounded and youll end up tearing the middle out.

if that doesnt work then get a blow torch and get it nice n hot and try get a set of mole grips on it or final resort is a hammer and chisel to try and loosen it

Before you take it out i would check that you can get the filler plug out you can drain it with a syphon but you will never fill it from the bottom:doh:

i have a chewed on on my transfer box that i need to tackle, i bought one from nissan to replace it.

 

[vss irvine]

the plugs are made of steel, ive had to weld onto them before if theyve been fecked!

normally i use an old short extension, and heat produced from welding the extension to the plug helps aswell.

 

[geoff pine]

I had this problem with my transfer box drain plug wielded a short bolt to it which i then sheered the head of Boby knows the rest of the story.

Short ratio gearbox

Ok guys so it is another gearbox question. I have a local contact who has a number of Pulsar gearbox's for sale and he at least one of them is a short ratio gearbox from the rally version. Considering that we are all aware of the known issues with the normal gearbox I wondered if anyone knew of any issues with these boxes?
