What do you mean mate?

I've got just the job for you :p

Cheers mate, looks like I'm in the market for a new subframe again :cry:

Ok then tech heads, whats the difference between NA and TT diffs, is the TT larger than the NA or did Nissan change the size of the diff when they changed the series. Thanks, Scrawni.

I think I need to find out a few things first before making a decission, but who to ask

There is place round the corner from me called G+N shotblasting, cost me £25

I don't know what to do right now, and i'm out of bourban

I got myself an N/A subframe to get rid of the hicas, I just asumed that the diff mounting points would be the same but, as I offered the diff up to mount it, the mounting points on the diff are wider than the subframe. The front bracket doesn't fit the subframe and the diff fouls, the rear mounting points are wider on the TT as well. Man i'm p155ed off

Just went to fit the diff into my new subframe AND IT DON'T FIT After all the effort to get the bush's changed and all the painting I have done to make it look good AND IT DON'T FIT :cry: :cry: :cry:

The bug is well and truely back with me so its good to see others doing thier cars, what ever it is.

Get back in the mini and start sorting it out ready for next year, myself I intend on doing lots of miles in it next year.

That list is getting long mate :D

I thought of doing that until doing the job myself, so I reckon if you can put up with all the hard work of getting the old bush's out, then go for it I would have bought one off you.

I used Hamerite stonechip to cover the bodywork and then sprayed on smoothrite, two cans of each did the job with some left over. The stone chip was put on with a shutz gun and went on realy well, I used white so the paint would be ok on top. The subframe is smoothrite but on top of red lead primer, wich it didn't like, I dont think it needed primer but then after blasting I had to get something on it to stop the rust before the colour went on.

I didn't use a jack I didn't want to scratch the paint. What I did was got my boy and his mate to place it on my chest when I was lying under the car and pussed it up like a bench press :shock: and then they put the nuts on the mounts so it didn't drop down again.

Thanks but looking at the pics I think I need to paint the fuel tank as well. It isn't too hard to take out as I did it as one unit, I think there is a write up with pictures somewhere, the hardest part is working on the floor cos I'm an old fart nowadays :D

Remember, slip slap slop, so you enjoy the sun Have a good time mate.

Just got the rear subframe in today after weeks of getting it sorted out and waiting until I had the money for the bits, and then poor weather and haveing to work, you all know how it goes. Anyway here are a couple of pics

Oh so true, I would recomend them

Quality :rofl:

Nice one mate

Nice body work, clean chassis but could do with slammin No car though

Cool vid but he aint goin nowhere near my engine. He didn't measure crank clearance on the mains, no stage torquing of the head bolts, in fact he didn't even torque the mains studs down or head studs, and what looked like cords rings they chew your bores to pieces.

Nor me, I took the evening off to go out with the lads and drink beer, talk to some girls and make a nuesance of myself. So today I have been spraying my rear subframe ready to hopefully fit tomorrow

Thats the one, man you are good.
