yes all true, but. unforntunatly with a dog box you do need to crack test the parts. its just a fact of life. you smash something with a hammer for a year or soo it will crack. just when is the gamble.

Dave what sort of km's has your box done since you built it? Do you use the clutch for upshifting?

I had my PPG straight cut dog pulled down and inspected after about 6000kms of use Street (85%) Hard driving 15%, it had a very small amounts of wear on the dogs maybe due to the fact i always use the clutch for shifting i find it way to rough otherwise..

well i bought it secondhand. so id say its got a few.

that and me having to trial and error the best way of "street" driving it.. my guess is at least new dogs for 2nd and 3rd. (so all the dogs lol..) and depending how worn the gears are, them to. (2nd,3rd)

i use the clutch. just shifting fast and firm with a pause going up gears and rev matching down. (down is way more easier than going up....)

waht sort of shifter is recomended. a quick shifter or stock???? i was thinking of making a super quick shifter but im to scared of missing a gear.

i almost got reverse on the freeway once going from 5th to 4th :s (full monty box)

I still run the standard shifter but have been wondering whether or not to upgrade to a short/quick shifter for quite awhile.

The ultimate shifter would be the stillway 0-400 with the lockout but its no good for circuit..

These boxes can be fatal if you mess up, 5th to reverse would have been real nasty goodbye engine clutch gearbox and possibly your feet/legs.

2nd to 1st on the upshift to 3rd is what worries me its easily done alot of people have found out the hard way myself included...

Driving a GTR with a Dog box is no joke it makes you appreciate a driver like Mark Berry that goes lap after lap without a problem...

People need to take this into account before installing a dog box one mistake and you can turn 20 grand+ into scrap...

      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.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      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?
