well I figure since you drive it hard the dogbox is probably the smart choice for you. should be good fun when it's set up with the ign cut shift too. :P

i wish i was "allowed" to get one too...

ive got an Autronic SM4 with ignition cut shift too, coupled with a straight cut dog box would be heaven.

life is so unfair....or should that be "wife" is so unfair?

Disclaimer: although the above post was made on this account, it is not necessarily Paul that wrote it. Just incase Stacey is reading it.

what problems did you have with the ppg? and what bits needed replacing? did you have an ignition cut on the ecu for gearchanges? and did you use the clutch with it?

once this gearbox is in. it will be 70/30 track/street. thats what lary the laser is for :(

I broke 2 small input shafts, lay shaft bearing and need to replace 2nd gear. No ignition cut. I always double clutch on downshift on the race track and during slow driving around the street

Hey Guys still trying to get used to the box, just a qwuick question. When your just driving around normally(not on the track) do you find that you have to shift slowly and in 2 stages rather than just trying to smash it in like you would when flat out??

As it seems to be wearing in it is becoming a little harder to use around town.

Cheers guys talk soon

I found the same thing. The delay from shifting in 2 stages allows the gears speeds to match. I find double clutching on upshift (and down shift as well) on the street doesn't produce any noise what so ever during shift.....very gentle and graceful. Flat out driving there is only one joyful way of doing it as R33 racer stated. However I still have occasional trouble with 1-->2nd and often use the clutch for this. Does anyone have any special trick with 1-->2nd?

cool. yeah i would be getting the larger input shaft option. and all brand new bearings. and also will be making a spraybar for inside the gearbox to directly spray oil on each gear. havent quite got it started yet. either using a pump of the tailshaft or an eletric one.

do the straight cut gears suffer from lubrication issues in the gtr casing?

when we are just chugging around, i have found being really forceful with the change is best. If i just lazily put it into gear in most cases it will chatter on the dog gears and feel rather harsh. best to be acertive with it even at slow speeds.

cheers russ cya soon , congrats again mate on the pittsworth win!!

Cheers guys was a good weekend. Yeah i suppose experience with it is the only way to figure it out properly. Im finding that when im just "chugging around" and try changing forcefully it jars my wrist every time as it seems to jump before it engages. How long did it take you to get it into 3rd 1st time everytime?? I keep seeming to either get 1st or 5th lol.

Cheers

Talk soon

Something else to watch out for is oil being pumped out the breather. I run straight cut ppg with redline light weight shock proof oil and i have problems with the oil coming out the breather. Does anyone else have the same problem with there box? I added a longer hose and run it up into the engine bay to the highest point not the best solution but it has stoped losing oil. I think i might have to pull the box down and install a shield where the breather pipe is.

with the breathing thing I know john runs on both diff and gearbox basically an expansion tank. so he runs the breather up to a small tank which is ventilated. the GB oil can be thrown up into this little tank, then drain back into the box. basically just like the radiator expansion tank. seems like a good, simple idea. could be worth a go.

33 racer which oil do you use? If the breather problem can be solved down in the gearbox instead of further up in the pipe we can have a breather that will do what it designed for... What i thinks happening in my box is the light weight shock proof is very sticky and the gears are flicking it up onto the roof of the gearbox then with slight pressure the box create it pushes it up the pipe. Now im not sure if we have enough room above the gears to install something like a baffle to deflet some of the oil away from the breather. Does anyone have a box thats in pieces at the moment to check out if this is possible?

were using the shock proof light i think it is, the blue one which ppg recommended for the box.

We dont have a box in pieces unfortunately, however i reckon the mini catch can with drain back would work well for it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
