Not sure if this has been posted before but found it the other day.....

question is..... is this to much power. would less power result in a faster lap time. this thing looks rather hard to control even on this larger track... OR do you think with a top driver (eg - Tsuchiya) this thing would be unbeatable.

let the footage and thoughts roll !!!!!!!

the problem is the track and the driving style. of course it's going to be a bit of a handful when you are taking most corners in first or second gear! that is a pretty dinky little circuit, not really suitable for the car, and even a mild track GTR will light the tyres in first and second gear coming out of a corner....

I know its sequential box, but it still sounds like a stocker 34 box on idle, but then again the dog box i had sounded similar to the stock 34 box on idle too..

big cams and titanium exhaust by the looks on that car, hopefully the result i end up with too! sounds awesome!

Do OS Giken make a sequential box or is a OS Giken gear set in a std hsg with one of those ikea formula sequential shifters bolted on?

Does not look anywhere near as smooth as the holinger.

it's an OS88 full sequential 6 speed close ratio box. nothing like a conventional box with ikeya shifter.

OS88 box is a good thing. some people i speak to in japan rate the hollinger, some rate the OS88 or HKS sequential. almost none use the trust/quaife box.

yeah i've used an ikeya shifter. it's ok. not sure it's the best money spent and not sure it really imrpoves lap time. it does mean you wont miss gears i guess. it's also only as good as the box you sit it on top of. don't expect it to turn a standard nissan box into anything like that OS88 above... it also takes a little getting used to at first! their paddle shift set-up for standard boxes looks quite cool too. but again, not sure it's worth the dough.

the one above probably looks savage next to marks hollinger as mark is using a strain sensitve gearknob which activates the ignition cut for smooth gear shifts. not sure that the endless car has that, from the look of the vid i'd say not. they just bash it into gear.

edit: I should mention a friend in japan sent me pics of that car when it was getting built and when it was finished a year or so ago when we were just building the hi-octane R34. It was one of our benchmarks in look, and quality of finish etc. and I think we did even better. :whistling:

Hey Michael I believe from memory that the os88 sequential box is around the 12 000 000 yen mark wich is substantially cheaper than a holinger and it is also rated to 1500hp where as the holinger is only rated at 800hp. But in saying that i do believe that the os88 is more suited to drag racing rather than track use. And there is no choice of ratio's used you get the ratio that they supply and that is it. Hence Richard saying that the diff hears would need a change.

Thanks for the info Richard, i enjoy building transmissions i used assist in running a transmission section a few years ago but we mainly built power shift and some counter shaft transmissions, have done a few road rangers and alike but my experience is minimal on these smaller boxes. I have been considering attempting to build my own but i might have to try something cheaper and simpler first to see how i go.

Sorry to hi jack the thread the car is not to bad for a drag car, :whistling: .

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
