Its more the sudden impact that will destroy your gearbox, take it easy when changing gears! what clutch have you got? a Nismo coppermix will help if you have the bucks. It cost me over 10g for a ppg so think about it.

whenever i change gears i always allow time for the synchro to catch up never slam it through gears. theres been nuthin fast enough to warrant slamming the gears. even a 570hp maloo ute he had about 20 car lengths on me wen we both punched it and by the end of third i had about 10 car length on him... he went home with his tail between his legs complaining i threw rocks at him.... I said "well next time stay infront" lol

True, and think about what would happen if the shock loading broke the oil film - no more gear against gear sliding and the forces of the now gripping gears would rip the teeth off, as the force would be radial instead of tangential (just my guess).

With over 86,000 thousand threads on the good oils and many different opinions there's not much talk on build tolerances or how hard they push their cars, most of todays oils are very advanced.

I was running over 350kws at all 4s with a standard gearbox with 10 year old oil trouble free, I added a triple plate clutch (higher impact) with fresh Motul oil, flicked the Motec switch down to 270kws and with the 1st caining Bang! gearbox no more, Redline will tell you they have the best oils in the world along with all other brands, Test... add MT-90 to finger then hit with hammer, outch! some tune shops race GTRs with standard gearboxes with twin plate organic clutches.

You really need to spend the Dollars on the full package to have any real luck or modify your driving style.

Agreed, the original point was mainly about wear and film strength, which is very much oil dependent. Getting as much backlash out of the system through tight build tolerances is also crucial. Out of interest - was the triple plate solid or spring center? Solid centers must be be murder on drivelines.

ive got a sprung centred hks gd max twin plate never broken a box just worn shit out. the hks twin is now slipping so giving it to jim berry most likely to do a carbotic rebuild and up the clamping load. will see how it goes they claim tho heavy clutch's are murder on synchro because of the mass that is spining takes longer to slow down mainly os giken clutches i was told unsure why but yeh.

Exedy Hyper metal series spring center, a good clutch with no slip at all, was just too tuff for the old girl but no probs for the ppg.

any one got any info bout the ppg helical gear sets?

also with the OS gear sets u need to purchase sum parts from the series 3 GTR boxes right? so whats the cost of those parts?

wen i enquired bout the series 3 bit they told me $590. unsure if they use the revised synchro's for the ppg set.

i have had no experience with PAR gearsets...

but when i spoke to them not to long ago with what they could do for me they mentioned something about 12month warranty if they assembled and installed the gearbox.

So thats something to think about

yes but people that i rang around and spoke to about them said that par and warranty are words that shouldnt be mentioned together. but ive never seen evidence yet of a par gearset in a skyline failing they have there own 9.8sec drag car not aussie built but still if it work it works. im very keen to try a set and punish it to see if it breaks or last quite a while plus they offer cooler sets then ppg like a straight cut synchro set... i think thats pretty mad lol

Yes i snapped my box last week, and im thinking of getting a PAR, The owner of Hills motorsports said to me his installed around 150 in the past and his has only heard of one snapping 2nd gear and the car was doing 850HP, So i think i might take my chances. If you talk to another gearbox company most of them will bag out the competetors anyway

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
