i did try one on our car, it broke within ten minutes ( the dog engagement was to harsh for it) snapped the ratcheting pegsoff.

cheers russ

p.s i have been told the ones for evo's, cable shift ones work heaps better , very different in design.

According to Ikeya, it won't work with a dog box.

The Redline/Speedtech VR4 in NZ uses one with a dogbox i think i remember him telling me it was a PPG. He also had a microswitch mounted on it to momentarily cut the ign so he could flat shift it...he said it was an awesome set-up and was the pivotal change that saw him run 9's.

Yes ours is a ppg box, it may very well have been just dodgy shifter that we recieved but looking at how the pegs were manufactured it didnt look like they would last very long ( i do believe they could be replaced with a billet setup for extra strength)

i asked ppg when we purchased our works box if we could use the Ikeya shifter with it and they said that due to their dog engagement design it would destroy the box or shifter in no time. I am waiting to hear back which dog boxes the d1 boys use with thier ikeya shifters.

Just purchased one of the new Gen Ikeya sequential shifters and they actually work far smoother than the old Generation ... much less effort is required now to change gears.

in ur opinion trent, would one of these shifters add extra strain to the '3rd gear synchro issue' in a gtr box? do u believe theyd help? (by taking away driver error with normal h pattern shifting)

keen to hear ur opinion and response >_<

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
