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.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
