I bought a HKS item a while ago - it's adjusted to 2 deg (I think) and proved itself by changing the driveability of the car, bringing on the boost a bit harder and earlier than before..

A gear is just a gear - as long as it has a reliable connection to the shaft and reliable locking once adjusted - I'd say wait and go the US ones for the $$.

My 2 cents..

Cam,

I guess the flipside of that is branding. People know Trust is good. When you sell your car and you say it's got Trust this and Apexi that, people know it's good stuff. I'm not saying that Uncle Sam's gears are any less good but at the end of the day, if people don't recognise the brand, they'd be tempted to choose the known brand over the unknown. That branding comes at a cost however and in car bits it's no different to clothing/shops/companies and practically everything else.

On top of all that, there's the old adage which car modifiers everywhere can't escape: -

Rice, rice baby! :P

Personally, I like the blue gears as they match my Trust I/C boost piping!

Cheers!

For those interested and just to confirm PM's.

There are two options:

1. Wait for Steve at SST to get his US gears @ $150

2. Trust gears are 12,000 Yen + Shipping (about $190 - $200)

Gears are available for SR20DET as well as RB25DET,RB26DETT and RB20DET (I believe the Skylines all fit the same gear)

PM me if you want in on a Trust gear(s) by Thursday 16/10/03.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
