i hve one of these set in my silvia its a track only drifter so dont really drive it that much they r slightly louder and yeah of course stock synchros so u hve to be gentle i hve never had a prob with the actually gear set but everything else had to be replaced so they r pretty strong

i would like to know this as well. i am interested in the 3 gear set.

how much stronger are they??how much closer in the gear ratio??are they hard to drive? make any noises??

cheers

i did a fair bit of poking around about this set before i bought mine (i got the 5 gear set w/input shaft). I am yet to install it, but from what i know, it drives like a stock box, no clunking, grinding, noises, etc. First gear is a fair bit taller which ive been told makes a full out launch easier because you dont have to scramble to grab second. I think first does close to 100km/hr.

There was something in HPI magazine (GTR special) stating that the gears themselves will handle (and im not sure on this figure) 1000hp, but that the synchro nature limits you to 9grand rpm(?), and something about 800hp.. Note Im pulling those figures out of my head as i dont have the magazine here and i read it all a long time ago! Im sure someone has it on hand and can confirm. Whatever it was i remember being a bit concerned as i was going to run 800hp plus, but then after reading the article i thought it'd be ok. We will see!

Any of you looking to buy a set off the net from a private seller, it may be worth mentioning the infamous Harris OS gearset scam :P I wonder if it has yet caught up with the good old "Harris's", lol

I have the OS gearset, but had custom sync's made up in japan. i rev till 10k on 450 awkw, smash through gears, and it shows no signs of wear. last week i had suspicions tha the gearset was giving way so we pulled the box out and i had is x-rayd to check for micro cracking. but nothngs wrong with it. it holds up pretty well, good value for the money. and yes the first gear puts me at 94km/h @ 9500rpm. The box is quiet, like the stocker, it doesnt whine like a straightcut.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
