New car, dvrI30's 99 infiniti
 
Hey Org members, I just bought a 99 i30, justin's old i30... I would like for all who knows about this car to fill me in on the history... Right now the trans Is stuck in first, Is it a simple fix or time for a new trans?

sounds like time to either rebuild the transmission or replace it. This happened twice On my 90 Mazda mx-6 gt. Turns out both times the differential gears shattered and a peice of it would lodge into one of the shifting forks effectively jamming it.

how many miles? sounds like you need a new tranny. Good thing is you can pick a good used one for under $300 and swap it out yourself in about a day.

He claims the car has 140k but the cluster has been sold, he also said the trans was rebuilt about 20k ago... He said he hit a bump and it got stuck in first... Claims a simple fix. Idk

If anyone has a good 5spd trans, pm me...Thanks... Also he sold the fpr and afc computer, will I need these items to run right. It's a 99 I30 with a 00 motor, Dnt know what ecu,

I'm looking to get all info about the car concerning the swap, mileage etc., and anything that can be useful... I'm looking to start a club in my area this Spring! Anyone in my area down?

Not sure how a bump could do that, unless he bottomed out really hard and bent the shifter linakage, in which case the fix is much better than rebuilding or swapping a transmission.

I just recently found a 2000 with the vq30 at a tow yard, let me know what you need and ill go pick it for you when I go to buy those sexy rims. His prices are really fair, im paying $80 for the authentic nissan aluminum rims in great condition. Only downside is that I'm in Canada, so shipping might be a small amount more than when buying within the USA. Let me know.

ghostI30 Mar 3, 2014 02:56 PM

Hey guys...Any ideas on what work was done to this I30... Motor work, wiring, anything that can be useful

Who's justin? Replacing the trans is simple, it'll take you a few hours.

ghostI30 Mar 4, 2014 07:01 PM

OK well next time I'm talking to him I will ask what he wants for the maf. Then we will calculate shipping and make sure your happy with everything before hand.

It would appear as though Justin is/was a member here, his screen name was dvri30. I think I have seen this screen name in my searches...

Ok guys after looking at the plug and reading on I30dvr's old threads I believe I need a z32 maf, but I'm not sure? I really want to get it up and running but at the same thing want it done right! Also do I need a fpr and afrc back on the car, I purchased it without these parts. Appreciate all the help!

ghostI30 Mar 18, 2014 08:25 AM

Yes. I tried it once, and it was a bear to drive. Even Popeye would struggle. Put it back on. :D
