hey guys,
i see you all want 5 speed boxes, i live here in south africa where they are abundent, i could supply to you guys if you wanted, i'll just have to do some home work first to see if it's worth my while.i just phoned a guy he wants R2500.00 but i'm sure i'll find cheaper.

i'm not saying i'm going to start selling gearboxes, but if you guys need parts drop me a p.m or an e-mail and i'll try make a plan. i have a nissan dealer right next door to me , or if you guys want we also get alot of aftermarket spares here.

anyway just a thought let me know what you think.

cheerz have a good weekend
