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 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 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.
