Steve

A friend of mine (most people in WRX circles know him) purchased a PPG full syncomesh box. On arrival and his inspection there were many little imperfections in the gears. He returned them to which they replied that they were extremely sorry they somehow missed inspection in quality. So they sent out a second gear set... and guess what same thing. They apologied again - but friend demanded refund. Which they gave him.

He has now purchased a Alvin Ivans syncromesh gear set. And after having a look at the photos, quatily is outstanding.

Has PPG quality dropped? Looks like it.......... Have you thought about going Alvin Ivans?

I has some photos of the gear sets i can email you Steve if you interested...

The poxy PPG box lasted long enuff for John wholagan to set pole this morning but then Jamie went out to qualify for sports sedan and smashed it hard in to the wall.

The funny thing about setting pole is the car is in 2wd for the weekend but still running at1478kgs, the TAFE guys are doing an over night rebuild so it can be back on track for the morning.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
