BIT-SUS, whats the PPG gearset like to drive with?

AWESOME.

- Helical synchro, sounds like an F1 car!

not as loud as a straight cut (WHERE'S THAT REX??)

But brilliant. I'm loving the new ratios (1st=90km/h)

Been smashing through the gears for ages now with the Exedy Carbon twin plate,

would highly recommend PPG gearbox. my total bill came in at $9,800 for parts and labour at PPG, and about $900 to R&R gearbox with a new clutch

I went for the

1-5th Helical Synchro kit

Billet selector forks

Billet input shaft

new synchros

new bearings

new seals

4L of Redline Lightweight Shockproof

never looked back.

GTR gearboxes are strong - its high rev gear changes in the lightning quick fashion that kills the syncro which just can't keep up then the gear faces strip with bits of syncro floating around like boat people north of Australia. Mechanical Sympathy is the cheapest way to keep gearboxes together, the tenth of a second you change gears faster by as you reef the gearstick through its gates makes no appreciable difference to your ability to eat other car makes - on a closed circuit of course :P

That being said the gear ratios and clutchless shifting (talking dogbox) are superior for track work :)

well the clutch is going in next weekend hopefully...getting my thrust bearings and other stuff tomorrow or friday....also getting the diff done at the same time so should be reasonably good

Typically a clutch is all those brass button can be cushioned with ceramic clutch pads unless you've gone for a carbon one

i wanted to know what type and what plate face and compound he went for, as in single plate, multi pate, full face, puk, organic,brass, ceramic, carbon etc..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
