Hey All,

I'm thinking about getting a B&M Ratchet shifter from my stagea, (i want to do somthing while driving but the missus cannot drive manual)

Has anyone seen one in a stagea, i'd love to see some photo's.

From looking at the info avilable on the web i think i would want a 3 speed (ie 1,2,drive) is that right?

otherwise is it posible to put the S2 trip box in a S1 anyone done that before?

How much do 2nd hand ones go for?

Thanks

Tony.

check legalities for it first mate. gotta be able to shift more than one thing at the time. so from park to drive. cant be full manualised shifting. well thats WA laws.

aFter taking out the console the other day, I was giving this some thought myself.

I can't take the console out while it is in park..

I can't put it in any other gear without the key in the ignition...

Once the key is in the ignition, all the alarms start going "ding" (door open, seatbelt, etc etc)

Can't take the key out of the ignition until gear selector is in park....

Working in the car at a frustrating finiky job with my ignition stuck on and all these little electronic dings and beeps firing at me is NOT my idea of a good time.

Yeah i just spoke to a guy from Rocket Industries, they are the B&M suppler for Aust. and apparently none of them are road legal, so this may have to be one of those... Oh well sorta thing,

Anyone done the S2 trans into a S1... do they fit?

Is the computer to much effort?

none of the are legal but you can get them over the pits.

the ones where you pick up a little lever and slide it from park to drive are ok to go over pits. when you have to ratchet shift through all gears is not.

i think its called a mega shifter. my mate has one in his torana. has just getting it licenced now. cause the pits wont pull it back into first, they will go to Drive to test it.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
