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..

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
