Looking for klze in Australia...
Where can i get one ?
Phone numbers too if possible !
Anywhere in Perth would be even better !
I want an LSD gearbox too.. A lot of the japanese manual k series 'boxes had them...
A guy in perth can get the engine from some place in melbourne.
$2000 for engine but $1800 for what they think is an LSD 'box.....

Not TOO bad for the engine but a wanna put the LSD box in with it..
$1800 for the box - get f*cked !!!

please help....

Factory LSD gearbox for the K8/KLZE are myth period,
sorry even mazda japan will tell you that..

Don't be fooled into "i can look right though the diff and see no pin"
Thats B.S. as i can "look" though mine and can tell you from looking
through the speedo cable hole it's a standard diff....

To fit a LSD which is NZ$ 700.00 just for the LSD no pinion gear or
bearings, you have to source a pinion gear plus the secondary gearbox
shaft with the correct spur gear for the 4.1:1 ring gear...
Allow NZ$90.00 for bearings each!

Then you still have to machine the pinion gear to allow bolting to the
diff ( you can seam weld them as well ) so at this stage your at
NZ $1200 and still not even moved a finger to put it in the gearbox.

My 2 cents inc GST..

Did you put this in the wrong topic?

Answer NO.

$2000 for engine but $1800 for what they think is an LSD 'box.....

Not TOO bad for the engine but a wanna put the LSD box in with it..
$1800 for the box - get f*cked !!!

Hence why the gearbox they are quoting cost's that and secondary
why it may not be a LSD box in the first place..

most of the cars released in japan and their specs...
Been translated from russian...
some of mx6, mx3 (autozam az3) eunos 500 had them.
Either standard or optional on SOME of them...

my closest buddy did the klze and gearbox swap a few months ago in his telstar TX5 (626) when his gearbox shat itself...

He got lucky as the vietnamese guy who did the swap for him ordered 1 from somewhere and i promise it has it...
My buddy admits he just got lucky.....

I've driven it a few times and have to have it in my ride !!!
After all my car is about 150 kg (330lb) lighter

i think i might have mentioned this before but adelaide jap dismantlers (search yahoo) have them, but it looks like you might have a better price anyway considering its about $250 postage from adelaide to other cities.
Are you doing the work yourself or getting a mechanic to do it?
i have a gearbox i will sell as well if you are interested, but no LSD

it's a pretty good price i can get but they havn't got it now...
Looking at other avenues incase my K8 dies...
It's using oil and timing belt's due and i don't wanna spend money on it..

Just seeing what else i could do - where else i can get what i want
