  1. OK the gearbox is at PPG in SA & I'm about to send the clutch centres to HiOctane Racing in Sydney to get the clutch plate centres replaced with larger 26 spline ones so they fit the new billet main shaft in the gearbox.

    PPG RB GTR/GTS-T Helical Cut Dog Gearset

    PPG’s billet selector forks

    PPG Billet RB Sandwhich Plate

    PPG Billet RB Mainshaft

    Transfer Case Upgrade

    Xtreme Clutch 26 spline centres

    now what will break next?

    hmm that's almost exactly the same as mine on 98, 395akwkw. Hopefully I'll have more luck with the box. I guess it depends how much you need to run daily, for me a box that is easy to live with is a priority (ie, factory, or at least a helical/synchro box)

    Just be gentle into 3rd gear. I’ve spoken with the guys at ppg and decided on a 1st to 4th gears, billet main shaft & billet selector forks helical cut dog engagement   Works out cheaper than syncro. 

  3. Yeh its a Maatouks Racing built motor running 526hp at the wheels on 98, I was almost ready to get a flex fuel tune & turn it up to about 700 - 800. I think I need to upgrade the box as 3rd gear is the weak link so probably as you mentioned a 1st to 4th helical cut dog box will be needed. It will save down time & money in the long run. It is my daily apart from road bikes & I don't think I could put up with an auto or justify a sequential.$22K

  4. Had an exiting run against a road bike, dumped it hard into 3rd gear as I pulled away & bang. I now have lots of little bits of 3rd gear, so I've done something to my Stagea but its not an improvement. Now I have a choice, a brand new 5 speed Nissan box for $3400 or a PPG dog box for $12000. Any suggestions?

    Have you done that 1000 km yet 

    Sure have, I found a heap of small fixes that needed to be done like vacuum leaks cam cover oil leaks & stuff but the big one was the 3" exhaust & JDM mufflers were not as well flowing as they needed to be, so after having issues with back pressure I had to get a full custom 3 1/2" system made up with 3 1/2 inch Hi Flow CAT, plus I had the screamer pipe extended & plumbed back into the exhaust so I don't get booked, after an oil change I took it back to Maatouks & had another run on the dyno to make sure all is OK. found out the standard CAS doesn't like anything over 6500rpm so I'm saving up for R35 coils & bracket & a cam angle sensor to go in when I go back for the E85 tune after all this COVID shite... so its still running on great 98 octane at just over 500whp so reliable everyday, very happy & the idle is much lower now & the car shakes a bit at the lights..;)

    So on the Maatouks racing FaceBook page..  

    www.facebook.com/maatouksracing/


    Shaun’s stagea came in for a MR 700 package packing a RB30/26, 6 boost manifold, garret gtx35/84rs, Turbosmart 50mm wastegate, ID2000cc injectors,custom cooler pipes and catch can all controlled through a Haltech plug and play ecu with all sensors and wideband for engine protection and peace of mind. Making just under 400kw @ 16psi at only 6000rpm on a running in tune.

    So after about 2 years at 297ATW KW I need more. dropped my 260RS of at Maatouks Racing last Thursday, motor should be out by Wednesday this week to get a full build done. Not sure what will be done yet until the block & crank are inspected but either way 650KW ATW should be happening in about 6-8 weeks. Going back down this week to pick up the car without the motor so I can tidy up a few things while it easy to get in & under the front end. The boys were impressed with how clean & straight the old Stagea is so I'm sure they'll look after it, as soon as I get more info & they start the work I'll post update & picks. Wish me luck...
