Member on hard times parts list

I was going to put a plan in place very soon as I know of certain peoples talents.. now I know everyone wants to help but I think just being there and having this friendly community bonding together to help out is brilliant and enough support in its own right.

I will need to cooks and food and drink planners in place soon and I think those members have already made themselves known eg the mobile BBQ and Roofy with snags as well as Healy's wife leah bringing the meat!!!

I have been aware that a lot want to be involved and behind the scenes I have set tasks for people but this gear box issue has been a problem and the call has gone out to all.

I say this now as I know people have probably already responded about I will do this and I will do that that this is my project and on the day I will be doing FAARRK all and the tasks will be set as to the main people doing certain tasks.

I am going to bed now so wish me goodnight!!!

At this stage I'm seeing heaps of stuff happening but no real plan or schedule to how its happening.

I understand everyone is helping out and chucking in but is there a plan? I thing Benny mentioned before we need to know whats going on otherwise it will become a big mess and nothing will get done!

Maybe there should be a project plan so we are all on the same level. I know it sound silly but there is a lot of blokes turning up and it would be nice to know whats going on..

I am happy to help out in anyway I can

Yeah good call Kris.

There is allot getting done by allot of people. I will be helping George do the clutch on Easter Saturday and we will have a further chat then.

Certainly to get the best list of parts we really need a list of jobs that need to be completed. We can then prioritise the list of jobs and members can have a think about what they can do on the list to help.

As mentioned above though there will probably be many just taking the opportunity to get together and make this forum great.

Things are well in hand it your right we need to start plotting the list of jobs to be done or nothing will get done.

Need to think about guys working inside the car while I have the front wheels off for the rebuild and the back wheel off doing the diff!!!!

George we will have a chat on Friday and Saturday mate and maybe start a new thread moving into next week mate.

Ok I can get a zd30 manual box out of a 2008 with 120k on it for $850 negotiable in lilydale. I will make a couple of calls tomorrow and let you know.

This was supposed to be just for parts so the jobs being done on the 6th would be assigned to those who had the experience.

Darren we'll be in touch mate, have you been a slacky before ?? Lol

Mate pulling a gear box out is no mans land for me so your in charge bloke! I am a pair of hands and student ;)

Good one Dazz, let us know what you have in mind and we'll try and work in the rest. I'm sure its all going to get done with a bit of communication between all.
I \f we have the car on proper stands then we should be able to work inside with out a hassle

Yeah not a fan Kris! We just need to rotate in and out. I'd hate to have my head in the front wheel well with someone in and out of the cab mate.

There are certainly ways to make it safer which might include stands under the chassis and jacks under the diffs too and sit the chassis on blocks or something but it would need to be very well braced before we though about combining inside and outside work simultaneously

Yep sounds like a fair call blokes, no point trying to get do to much and compromising someones life..I agree

I can pick up gear box Wed/Thurs if needed, will need a heads up as I have missed enough work of late!!

I have done a clutch on the ground and know it can be done as safe as can be in that situation but do not like it... would much rather on a hoist.

Now Daz you may have missed my post on the organising of this and I do have a plan in place but due to certain things which I will explain to you in person I cant divulge now.

The cost of this gear box has turned the budget from having everything sorted no worries to this is going to be tight.. anything $1000 and up we are really hurting and the lower below $1000 we can start the relax and there will be fun jobs to do on the day.

OK here is a Blow away moment!

i have just been talking to Brett from 4WD Obsession in Melton Vic about finding a Gear box. he can help but it looks like George has found one already.

During the conversation though he asked about other stuff we needed!

Brett will DONATE a full Swivel Hub rebuild kit from Terrain tamer including Wheel bears for FREE.

Also:

Brett will donate a Brand New 4.3 ring and pinion gear, LSD Bearing kit and second hand LSD for the car assuming its a H233 rear. This will need someone to strip and rebuild this on the day!

Need to confirm ASAP if the rear is a H233 and that we have guys that can set this diff up please.

This is a Huge Offer guys!

Need a Diff Builder? Mat and Ben can you sort this guys? This will save you lugging a rear diff on your carry on Mat!


Special Thanks to

Box will be here this arvo, its out of a '09 wagon done under 90k........

Rear main seal ordered and Nissan done me a top deal aswell!!!

Bloody ripper guys, I am working my ass off today and its good to know you guys are kicking goals !!!!

All coming together, I said you were sexy daz!!!!

Well done George, the main stress item is done and I will pick the clutch up in a couple of hours!!

Need to confirm ASAP today if the rear diff is the H233 (small diff) or the H260??

Brett can only help us out with H233 stuff and is going to BUY an OME brand new Crown Wheel and Pinion to suit a H233.

Can we confirm ASAP please.

You guys are awesome!!
I am amazed at the generosity:-)

I don't really have much to offer but I have just sent some stickers to Jonathan for you guys to share. It's not much but at least everyone gets a sticker for helping lol.

Good work, can't wait to see some action shots:-)

Any i wanna be a Rotary when i grow up ones??? Lol

Just got a delivery!!

Rear Diff is a H260.

OK Just got off the phone with Brett from 4x4 Obsession in Melton!! Crazy stuff.

He is astounded that this car has done a H260! Big Diff and Bullet proof! Crazy Stuff for a family car to smash a H260.

The H260 is much harder to get the parts for and get really bloody expensive for Genuine Nissan gear.

Brett has called a mate and has bought out of his own pocket a second hand H260 3rd Member ready to bolt straight in! No Charge.

I will go and see Brett later this week and he will supply a front end rebuild kit, a second hand H260 4.3 diff centre and front and rear diff gaskets from Nissan!

Thanks Brett, your a generous man.

I guess it goes without saying that we are so grateful to Brett and I know I will give him first thought in the future for stuff I might need, thank you Darren you are the salt of the earth!!!

did you bust your pooper valve picking up the clutch kit BA?

Leave the wreckers too me, i'll sort out the gear box even if i have to rebuild it my self!! And i'll chase up a manual climate control aswell

When do you need it by? I might be able to get it this week, but its a struggle as all my work at the moment is down the coast in Geelong all the way to Colac. So I am a semi permanent resident of Point Lonsdale for the next few weeks... But I am going home tomorrow, hopefully to start packing for the family camping trip this weekend.

Changing that over is a one stubbie job mate.

You want me to get the bolts too for the lhs recovery bracket? I reckon 3/4UNF by 1 1/2 long will be right. I take it there will be an arc welder at AB's

• air cond switch on the 6th
• read diff repairs on the 6th
• recovery point mount on the 6th
• winch mount and bull bar repairs on the 6th
• light bar wiring on the 6th
• Aux battery install on the 6th

Sorry if its already been said. Been a long day...

I know nothing about GU's or the GQ's for that matter, but looking at the GU manual it says the diff is a H233B

Am I missing something or not understanding the manual?????

It is a ZD30DDTI Motor isn't it?????

Yeah BA sent me a couple of pics of the back diff and no question it's a H260. We have got another one. Allot of the early ZD30 manuals came out with the bigger diff. I can't really see detail in that image Tod.

All good though its sorted

Yeah I had a look at it, sorry on the iPad and the images can be a bugger. You are right that your image certainly says that it's to a H260 but the pic is definitely a H260 and I forwarded it to Brett and he agreed it was the H260 also.
