almera engine in micra?

For more of a DIY job, cg box with an electric water pump is seeming much easier!

It's mostly the driveshafts putting me off using a GA box.

drive shafts are easy. A place up here does them for 150 a side, they are up to 500bhp and brand new

So you reckon to avoid the cg box option then?

i would have to try it and see, it depends on how close the mounts are, how easy it is so sandwitch the two together and what to do about the starter motor.

but really i would have thought the GA box will be less hassle, its just the shafts and the mounts, and maybe the gear linkage.

CG is the drive shafts, sandwitch plate and the starter motor, and maybe the torque

Is 150 for the GA/CG shafts being welded or one piece custom jobs?

i got quoted 500 bar for them, they must of drop their prices since i was looking, im my opinion the 135bhp i had ,had no problems going through the cut n sleeved shafts i made, i was well chuffed with them shafts lol proud or what bet they are still holding up ha

So if the GA box is used, which original mounts are still used? how many need making up?

 

[jdmk11mike]

drivers side mount remains the same, slight mod to the passenger side and rear mount needs lowered

 

[Robert]

I assume all G/box mounts too?

they are one peice things so £300 for brand new drice shafts

there are 4 mounts, one on the drivers side, one on the passengers side and two on the bar that goes under the engine. together they hold both the engine and gearbox.
