I should add to my straight swap list, a well built 240Z. Must be already RB swapped lol. I would make it NA though.
-
That is definitely not a shit box, if I had space, time and money I would take it! I would totally froth over a 240Z, RB25DE NEO with ITBs, biggest fk off cams on the planet, max compression all motor 10k RPM ear s3x.
-
I would prefer a longer 1st and 2nd anyway, the factory ratios aren't very good (to me due to my powerband) to use at Wakefield Park or SMSP. Would be nice to take the fish hook in 2nd without being right at the end of the rev range lol.

Running semi slicks in the rain bad idea?

I've taken my cars/diffs to Smithfield Gearbox & Diff and my mates to there too. They know their Nissan shitboxes inside out Smithfield Diff & Gearbox (02) 9604 8887 https://g.co/kgs/vtFyF8 -
Not sure what type of helical PAR engineering uses, however they offer on straight cut or helical for the same price https://www.par-engineering.com/product/fs5r30ass-14set-nissan-fs5r30a-1st4th-synchromesh-engagement-gearset/ Then Speedtek, I think it's just helical, once again all these gearset guys are super low on any information https://speedtekautoracing.com/collections/gearsets/products/800hp-close-ratio-set

Get a proper diff too. -
Yeah @34GeeTeeTee grenaded his R34 box and went to a PPG gearset too. The power/torque I'm making, it's a miracle the box hasn't blown up yet
-
The straight cut box is purely from a strength perspective, as there's no price difference between helical vs. straight cut. Synchros will need to be upgraded to the latest version found in the S3 GT-R / R34 GT-t box, which makes shifting much easier at higher RPM Box already has Redline Shockproof in it lol...... Rebuilding it, won't fix the issue of the box going bang with the power/torque.
-
The box is about to go bang any second now, I can't even shift into gear past 6k RPM, just grinds and won't go in, hence if you've watched any of my attempts at pretending I can drive at SMSP you'll notice the very slow shifts into gears and you'll notice I wait for the revs to drop a bit before grabbing the next gear. People with less power have blown their box apart on the street, so I'm playing Russian Roulette with it on the track. Also I think the gearbox shop would prefer a core that doesn't have a minced up gearset inside e.g.
-
The ratios actually would work better for me at SMSP, T2 & T8. In 3rd I'm just off the boost threshold, in 2nd I'm nearly out of RPM. With a taller 2nd, could take those two turns in 2nd. Hmm.. now that you've mentioned it, you've grenaded your OS Giken box with less power back then. CD009 requires too much stuffing about, will need to change the diff ratio too, need to massage tunnel, custom tailshaft, shifter relocation, etc. The effort involved Ideally if time, money, space, hoist permits it would be perfect for me. Seems like PAR or PPG straight cut with synchro gearsets will suit my requirements. Don't want a dog box, as I prefer the safety of synchros in place so I don't money shift the car (and others that drive it). Fk I hate this car.
-
Next car will stay stock, no more mods! Meanwhile I'm looking at a new gear set before I hit up SMSP again. So far looks like PAR might be the way to go, Speedtek seems too hit or miss and can't find much feedback on OS Giken (quite appealing as the AUD to JPY is great, $1 buys 95 Yen). Sigh, stupid money pit.

would be keen too!
