Sounds quality mate.

If its gonna be a road car then drop that cam in as well

 

[bobsp16]

thats my plan mark build a standard looking k10 even though it will be very low looking and have only 14" alloys but be well fast

 

[paddymarsden]

TENNER !!!!! wow that is a bargain, the body looks in mint condition

 

[Speedle]

now that is a bargain! nice one


but do tell me what is this??
new geartek 5 speed s5 gearbox

i wasn't aware of uprated gearbox's for the k10

 

[bobsp16]

you can have any gearbox uprated but this is a fully recon box thats had its selecter mest about with which allows us to make fast gear change and fitted with an lsd gripper diff.

[Mark]

You should have you were after a shell bob, I would have given you my other Super S,

 

[bobsp16]

thanks mark but i like to use a shells with no sunroof and all 1.2s have them also this ones not to far away about an half hours drive

bloody hell thats expensive for 3 of them you could get a super turbo with an already uprated gearbox and LSD

 

[micra man]

Woah, bargain mate!!! Plans sound interesting too, would be kool to see 90 at the wheels. Keep us updated as to how you get on.

Thats interesting, I didnt think they made a gripper diff for the K10, is it intended for a different model but just happens to fit the K10? What else have they done to the gearbox to make it stronger? How does the clutch hold out?
Sounds an interesting project keep us updated.

k11 1.0 clutch's fit the k10 and although they are the same it is possiable to get a nismo cluth for the k11 1.0 and therefore the k10 should be able to cope with more power

 

[crogthomas]

Thats exactly why I was wondering. If the standard clutch is okay then there is no point going for the Nismo clutch which would be very expensive to buy and import.

 

[Speedle]

the standard k11 clutch may be better quality than its k10 counter part, then again they could be identical, but i know some k11 1.0 owners have put upwards of 70 bhp through theres with no probs

 

[Mark]

mine holds up quite well and is prob 65-70bhp

 

[Speedle]

tbh im sure the clutch can handle the power but will just wear a bit quicker the gear box is the problem but if the box was taken apart im sure gear from another nissn could fit inside like a cherry or sunny

What is it that actually breaks with the k10 box? I know Bob said 2nd but it's probably the bearings that aren't up to the task rather than the actual gears.

All my problems come under racing conditions i no but i have never had bearings go.unless you run low on gear oil.
