Thats true, but apart fom the strength aspect of the OS gearset, the added respone you get from the closer ratios is awesome.

I've seen a GTR with the trust gearset and that thing got from 1st to 3rd in no time :ermm:

I would absolutley love to do it for that reason, but could never justify the cost, let alone actually pay for it! :D If I was going to do it purely for the ratio's I'd probably just put a 4.3 Cusco MZ diff in the car and change it like that as it would be a lot more cost effective.

However, if the costs of breaking boxes constantly became too great, it may actually be a better option, but let's hope it never comes to that...

Doesnt matter what clutch though... we were talking about the OS gearset?

Nah it doesn't matter what clutch you use with the gearset, but since I am after both clutch and synchros/gearset thought I'd ad the comment about Ben's clutch. Especially because there seems to be a little secrecy about it :ermm:

I'm with you dane. I'd love to get the gearset but don't think it'll happen

As far as I know, the following people are using the OS Giken Cross Mission gearset:

LeeWah

Ben (RPM GTR)

Emre

I think Frank may also be using one but that's only what I've heard.

It's an awesome box. It been out dragging with me at full power (600+awkw) and not missed a beat.

If you treat the box right, it'll hold for sure.

BTW, don't trust the Trust boxes. Ben has smashed a number of gears in previous Trust boxes before he moved to the OS. Since the change, he hasn't busted any gears to the best of my knowledge.

Well worth the investment IMO.

I've heard mixed reports on the OS Giken Leewah... so you're a fan?? And it's still holding up well??

I was considering one for my car, but don't want to fork out 4k+ and have it break on me...

its my understanding that the clutch will play a part to the life of a gearbox...eg an unsprug clutch will "shock" the gearbox where as a sprug one will dampen the drive

I would definatly agree with that.

Plus driving style/events types will play a major factor.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      Help please! Hole ontop of box?

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
