That PPG set is not a synchro box. It's dog gears. Just so you know, Pete. :)

Hi Paul, sent off for some info, dog gears, sequential gears they would be like ridding a bike again and that is OK but I guess they are crappy for DD use.

Saw a Video with a bloke in a parking lot and not having fun at parking , so I guess they can be a pain.

Just said to Joey that I might just get the build done with what I have and see what happens or give it a miss :)

On my laptop now so I cannot PM you.

Pete

I'm running 450kw at wheels on e85 through a stock box, previously at 410kw went to the drags, no issues

Another drag night coming up on the 16th July

Should hold up, box doesn't crunch or anything might just be lucky

Your in the zone now, just a matter of time.

Would you be happy with a dog box or sequential box in the car?

I think if I was going to do either I would have to drive them but the sequential sounds , well interesting and I would love to try it, maybe not buy it,haha

Thing is, everyone seems "ok" with the gearbox "constantly" failing.

Is it not a big deal to get it rebuilt?

Is it worth going for smaller turbos (-9/GTSS) to specifically avoid this weak point?

Second hand boxes are pretty cheap $600-$1000. And only about $1k give or take to rebuild depending on what's smashed.

Less power is not an option once you've been there.

Broken boxes being a big problem and magnified when using 3 and 4 plate clutches,so I will ditch the Quad and going for a Twin, but what Twin to use on a torquey R34GTR.

There are a few that were recommended to me..Coppermix C Spec twin seems to be on the top of the list.

What about carbon types?

Pete,

Jim Berry full monty with organic plate works for me in 26/30 GTR 350rwkw @ 6250 but then I don't 'launch' so may not suit your needs.

Back OT I spoke to Award about gbox strength recently, their view was that a good margin of failures occur due to:

'nut that holds the wheel'

downshifts rather than upshifts

Going with the Super Coppermix Twin Plate Clutch, done enough looking my head is going to fall off and have had some great help from some of the blokes on this site :)

I guess I am going to be that NUT and loving it.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
