Anyone got an old 2nd hand Samwage plate out of a GTR gearbox for sale????

Don't do it man!

I don't understand this mentality. The one thing that is holding it all together is made out of this thin bit of alloy. May aswell put a dinner plate with holes in there.

Mine cost me about $900 delivered to my door through greenline.

If it saves you another box out and in its worth it!!!

Looks like PPG are going to sponsor me and give me parts at a discounted price, which is better than paying full price, got the results from the crack testing and all the other gears and dog rings are fine.. just waiting to hear back from the engineering shop that are trying to straighten my lower lay shaft. fingers crossed haha

What about the stronger 3rd gear? Any word on that?

Third is completely destroyed, im up for 2 new gears there, The funny thing is when the box broke I was 100% into the gear and it was just Horse power that sheared those teeth off the gears.

Great to share a tent with you guys @ Jambo.. Pity about the box issues.

Good to hear PPG is helping you get the gearbox sorted, can't wait to see how far you can take it with your current setup.

Only time will tell if HKS GTR makes an appearance to keep you on your toes.. till then good luck with the car.

Noy

Could have been fatigue from the action of shifting; full power in third could have been the straw that broke the camels back.

Could have definately well been that reason too, flat shifting at 1000HP doesnt really do any gearbox justice, but thats why I got ignition cut and certain parameters that reduce the amount of shock loading on the teeth.

After the $$$ spent worth considering a Holinger? Or sequential of sorts.

definately not a holinger, or a sequential, cost way to much money. They are weaker than Straight cut dog box, because they are helical cut dog engagment,

but yes the next option would be a liberty, but at the moment I want to keep it like a streeter for a bit longer haha

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
