My mate has a VL Turbo and bought a close ratio gear box from an importer not knowing it was close ratio... As far as we have researched the only 2 close ratio gear sets are from NISMO ($2500+) and OS GEIKEN ($3500+), The gearbox is in good condition, no drive gears have noise, If you are in Brisbane and are serious about buying it we could probably arrange for you to see the geabox in action... We are going to remove it soon so if you are keen you'll have to jump in quick i guess.

Reason for sale - He has a large cam RB30ET with a highflow turbo, Paid a large sum to get his diff done previously and the car sit's too high in the revs on the high way, goes thru the gears too quickly it barely makes full boost before he has to change, It just does not suit His car.

The gearbox would be good for drifting, drag or race cars, or if your a real keen streeter... It would have stronger gears etc...

I'm pretty sure gibson motorsport used a similar setup gearbox on thier track cars.

anyway he is keen on $1800 for the gearbox, they are worth alot more then this and would not turn up often.

Have you opened the gearbox and had a look? Going by your advert one may be inclined to think it would only be nismo or os-g but it could be anything. Im looking for a gearbox, and if you can confirm exactly whats inside you may have a buyer

I'll see what i can do...

Ok pulled out and dismantled gearbox today... took a heap of photo's...

anyway measured ratio's by turning tailshaft and watching input shaft...

These are only rough guides...

1st 2.82:1

2nd 2.07:1

3rd 1.67:1

4th 1.32:1 (this is in the position of 5th gear)

5th 1:1 (this is 4th gear)

Exterior Pic 1...

Exterior Pic 2...

hookshift2.jpg

5th gear (or 4th :P)... Layshaft is clearly different from stock, notice the cone shaping is smooth before 5th...

hookshift3.jpg

Front side layshaft... Notice the gears have no machine marks down the middle of the tooth, clearly aftermartket...

and the layshaft has different machine marks on it...

hookshift4.jpg

Comparison Pic 1, The stocker is the rear one...

hookshift5.jpg

Again the front side... compare the gear sizes with the next pic...

hookshift6.jpg

Stock rb20 gearbox front side... notice the machine marks on the stock gears...

hookshift7.jpg

Rear side comparision... Stocker Is on the left... Notice the size of 5th...

hookshift8.jpg

Stock rear, notice the crappy surface on the cone before 5th on layshaft...

hookshift9.jpg

Again The rear of gearbox for sale...

hookshift10.jpg

Gearbox looks mint internally, no scoring, gouges on any gears...

There are no stamps on the gears so who could tell...

BTW Immo thats impossible, the layshaft is all one peice, you cannot chop and change gearbox's like that...

It's aftermarket anyway, they don't make aftermarket gears weaker then stock ever, so they are obvioulsy stronger... its closer ratio then stock... don't know what the gear ratio's are stock but 5th would be like 0.7:1 i guess...

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
