  1. thrust bearing or not, I put it equal to that dog shit JB whatever he wants to call it.Junk. Shu boy, shu!
  2. I'll never get there, but it's the cruising rpm. We still drive to Vic for DECA's. I ain't sitting in the car for 7 hours at 3500 rpm.
  3. Here is a 3 page thread off the pommie forum talking about this topic. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/95048-best-seq-transmission-power-cost-service.html
  4. OK. All speeds and ratios are based off using a 265/35X18 tyre, an RPM limit of 8000 RPM and the use of 4.11 diff gears. OS GIKEN Sequential - the stock ratios given when ordering one it looks like 1st 2.609 = 90 km/h 2nd 1.934 = 121 km/h 3rd 1.521 = 154 km/h 4th 1.210 = 194 km/h 5th 1.000 = 234 km/h (stock ratio) 6th 0.852 = 275 km/h - 3158 RPM at 110 km/h I personally like this option. Its a tad shorter in 1st and still can cruise on the freeway without spinning its head off 1st 2.890 = 81 km/h 2nd 1.891 = 124 km/h 3rd 1.468 = 160 km/h 4th 1.174 = 200 km./h 5th 1.000 = 234 km/h (stock ratio) 6th 0.757 = 310 km/h (stock ratio) - 2806 RPM at 110 km/h Stock ratios on a 32/33 are; 1st = 75 km/h 2nd = 120 km/h 3rd = 180 km/h 4th = 234 km/h (stock ratio) 5th = 310 km/h (stock ratio) OS GiKEN 5 speed is 1st = 87 km/h 2nd = 138 km/h 3rd = 190 km/h 4th = 234 km/h (stock ratio) 5th = 310 km/h (or 290 km/h if you get the OS giken 5th option IIRC) PPG sets: 5 Speed (1-4 helical dog set) 1st = 89 km/h 2nd = 143 km/h (farken mega tall) 3rd = 189 km/h 4th = 234 km/h (stock ratio) 5th = 310 km/h (stock ratio) For the sake of it ill throw in the Getrag PPG 6 speed. These are mad! This is with 3.545 diff ratios. 1st = 85 km/h 2nd = 124 km/h 3rd = 174 km/h 4th = 226 km/h 5th = 272 km/h 6 th = 327 km/h - 2653 RPM at 110 km/h Argh, number crunching. Time for a beer
  5. You'll just valve float which will limit your boost and or rpm.
  6. 26 or 28 spline which is more than the Nissan OEM.I agree Marko and that's being polite.
  7. That's another question, the clutch. Be buggered if I'm gonna run an R3C bucket.
  8. Got it and read it Mick. I'm just out at the moment, I'll sit down and reply in a few hours.
  9. Need to work out how to get it in without getting raped by customs. Bit hard with a big fark off box with "OS GIKEN" stamped on the side.
  10. ^^^ then why would you even consider ditching it? VCT is your friend.... Unless you like the "nothing, nothing.... BOOM" delivery, then go for it. At the end if the day, our cars are not light with short stroke, small capacity engine with relatively low wish comp ratios with tallish gearing . Monster cams and throwing away VCT are only going to make them harder to drive on the street. If you don't want it, I'll buy it off you and put it on my engine
  11. What are you dropping the clutch from? I never had any issues with my taller first (87 km/h at 8000 rpm). More revs son .
  12. The wait time really isn't an issue. I've just bought a house so it won't be ordered next week! Taken from another thread on here; Quote The original Quaife H-gate 6 speed was developed back in 1991 for Trust (aka GReddy) Japan. In those days the primary objective was to get an extra gear, with two overdrives (5th and 6th) so the top speed trialers could make 300kmh. It was never really designed for lots of extra strength. When you fit a new cluster of gears into any stock gear casing, you cant alter the diameter of the gears because the shaft positions cant change. So all you can do is improve the tooth design and possibly the width of the gears. All that was done as that product evolved during the '90s. Thing is though, by then most serious cars were making 750hp or more so the gears would eventually fail - due to their stock diameter. It was obvious something more serious was needed. The sequential is a completely different thing altogether and is completely different internally to the older H gate kit. Its a direct derivative of Quaifes universal 6-speed sequential, an entirely different product altogether. It was re-designed in fact to fit a new car specific 32/33 GTR casing, I know cos I lent them my car to model it on. The sequential has enormous gears by comparison to the H. I think there are about 65 sequential boxes around the world now and remarkably few spares have been supplied during the 11 years they have been out there. Spares are generally available at the moment, whereas for the older H-pattern, none have been made since 2001, so spares if not on the shelf have to be made to order, meaning much longer lead times. I think the most important thing to remember about the sequential, is its a racing transmission. It uses straight cut gears and is as noisy as you like. Not the preferred option for a daily driver really, but lets face it, there arent too many options available for the GTR. What I really wanted to do here was just answer the heresay and explain the product. The same basic principle goes for anything on the market - if the gear diameter is the same as standard, the strength is ultimately limited by that factor alone, so watch yourself spending fortunes on anything that fits into the standard casing. The Getrag really intrigues me, so little info out there,but if you want to fit one of those in a 32/33, will need a 34 transfer and 34 gear ratios in the front and back axles, because all the ratios are completely different. As the 34 had a dual mass flywheel (as do Supras,M5's and 911 turbos), when you switch to a twin or triple with a solid flywheel, it seems to put alot of pressure on the constant meshing gears, or input driven pair as they are known. Whether these ultimately fail or just get noisier and noisier I really dont know. Getrags seem to manage 700hp quite successfully in the 34, Supra and others, so I assume it has bigger gears than the 32/33- Anyone care to comment on that ? The Quaife sequential is noisy in all gears however, as all of them are straight cut. As far as using it goes, you will either love it or hate it. It needs you to shift definitely and aggressively, mainly due to a mixture of the large gear diameter and the sequential mechanism being mounted on the side of the box. Treat it like a motorcycle gearbox, pushing it hard into gear, and you will get on with it just fine. Press it delicately and it probably wont engage the next gear up or down. What did Richard Bell say out of interest ? He hated his initially whereas Brian loved it. I sat next to Rich at that drift place in Wales and made him have a go with it properly, by about the 3rd lap he loved it. So much so that after two more sessions, he broke his lovely new engine ! Anyway, hope it was ok to post, just thought a bit of background might help cheers, Tim
  13. That's not a bad idea. I'll type something up and post it in here. Might be useful for other guys also.
  14. Only rated to 750 HP though which is a bit of a bitch. Looking at the ratios, they do look pretty neat. I just got a quote back from Marcus and he said $12,700 for the OS88. Thing is, there is $2k give or take with GST and Duty. They do say 5,000 kms of "race/track kms" before it needs to be inspected. I'd say that would be no let off and yank on the stick. There is nothing stopping you from clutching in and pulling the lever. Bob posted a quick video of his OS88 last night on Facebook. Seemed pretty stout. It doesn't matter which way, it's not going to be cheap for a solution that's gonna be tough enough.
  15. Sell 26 covers, buy 25 covers, repaint. Problem sorted? The car will drive so much better for it.
  16. Put VCT back in. You have something there from the factory that RB26 guys only wish they have and costs them thousands of dollars to do.
  17. Why on earth did you have 6:1 comp?
  18. Farken 4 PPG boxes, my god. The helical dog 1-4? How much grunt, Dave?
  19. I have a stock box sitting in the garage, Marko. It'll go in within the next couple weeks. It'll be interesting with the shorter ratios compared to the OS set.
  20. Tomei 1.9 - 2.1 thou as on the spec sheet. My last engine had 2 thou piston to bore and was fine.
  21. Lol. Haven't laid eyes on my thing in 2 months. I just sneeze too much. Farken flu!
  22. Haha red roo! That's what the say, who knows if that's realistic. That's still 3 years of driving.
