    One Mystery Solved

    Hello All,

    I spend a fair bit of last night looking through some threads about Nissan Cabstar gearbox conversions. I saw a photograph posted up by Navigation 2000 which showed a symbol and a part number that suggested it was a Nissan Cabstar gearbox. The number was 71129. I found the same symbol in the same place on my gearbox . Then I found the number 60212

    Not being daunted I thought I would take off the clutch slave cylinder in the attempt to find some sort of identifying mark. That way I could walk into the respective dealer and place the slave cylinder down and go, "I would like a new one of these please".

    I took the clutch slave cylinder off and all I found was something I did not expect on a Japanese manufactured part for a Nissan. It had a raised cast of 7/8. What is an Imperial measurement doing on a Japanese Metric part I thought to myself?

    The 7/8 mark got me thinking - what manufacturer uses Imperial measurement? I have a clutch slave cylinder that I will be shortly be fitting onto Baldrick my Series 3 Land Rover 2.25 litre diesel. I took it out of its new box and placed it next to the clutch slave cylinder I had just taken off the one joined to the Nissan SD33 diesel. Well bugger me!

    Now I just wonder if that means that the clutch and pressure plate are Land Rover parts too????

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    Lionel I am rather sure that the Marks conversion I have uses a Land Rover nine inch clutch pressure plate and the clutch plate was a "special" with a centre spline to suit the Nissan Cab Star main shaft.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Hello Mick,

    Thank you for the reply. Yes I reckon there is a hell of a lot of things "special" about Hunter.

    Every time I get one thing sorted out a new mystery element appears.

    I suppose I will get it all sorted out one day.

    I will be writing to Nissan Japan to see if they can do better than Nissan Australia to decipher engine numbers and gearbox numbers to model of vehicle and date of manufacture.

    I will also be telephoning Mark's 4WD Adaptors since emails do not get responded to.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel
