I have just put in the latest drag version of the os giken box, Something my tuner says his never seen before he said it was a new type, The gears were huge he claims, Alittle noisy but im not worried. Neways Now this happens very rarely usually in the first 3 gears, As im booting it a miss a gear on the odd moment and the revs go through the roof 8-9000rpm, Is that harming my engine? I have stock internals but everything around i have modded cams, injectors, pump, PFC bla bla and the rest , only thiing i need now is the internals done. But neway i just feel like i've hurt the engine in someway and i get realllly shitttyyy when it happens as this car is my pride and joy, What harm am i actually doing when this occurs?

Your motor should have a rev limiter still so damage to the motor would not be something crazy, although standard oil pumps and rev limiters dont go hand in hand with the RBs.

Another thing to note is that when you do that you are flaring your clutch, this will kill it alot quicker than it should.

Its all timing, it shouldnt be an accepted out come that you 'missed a gear'. Try driving fast in slow motion, sounds ridiculous but it works.. After a while ull get into a nice groove.

Ty 9500 on a stock engine with N1 turbs! then you are getting somewhere, accidently saw that when I first got my 32, had fcon v pro computer.

I never had any troubles when it went that high. Just don't limiter bash, that kills oil pumps!

GTRAAH you should clarify what box you've got.

OSGiken make more than one gearbox option.

I'll guess you have a 5spd kit that goes into your standard gearbox case. When you say latest drag box, people will assume the OS88 is what you've got

Sorry to hijack but kinda on topic, with regards to limiter bashing. Would a launch control like the gizzmo set at a much lower rpm say 4-5000rpm put stress on the oil pump? If someone can explain why as well that would be great

yeah dude the gears in them are pretty massive ive ordered the 5 speed drag version myself

did u get it with the input shaft as well??

there rated at 800hp i think so u shouldnt break it with a stock motor i dont reckon

I was told they can withstand 1200hp this guy they know had the same box and he has done PLENTY of 9 sec runs in it, and still solid. Is the gearbox meant to be alittle notchy i would of thought that its like a brand new gearbox as in perfectly smooth gear changes like a brand new car, I dont know input shaft?? is that the main shaft? if so i put an r33 gtr one in there they are alittle stronger.

A correctly built OS box should be nice and smooth...

Yeah they are rated at 1200hp with a 9k rpm shift limmitation- OS recomends 800hp

The input shaft is the splined shaft sticking out of the front of the gearbox. It transfers the rotational torque from the motor/clutch to the main shaft in the gearbox. These are a "weak" link for high hp GTR's. Unless your planning to run 400rwkw or more- it's not needed.

The OS gearsets are designed for the later r33 GTR box.

Are input shaft and main shaft the same thing? i think it did come with the input....... Well i know that when i snapped 3rd on my stock box he said something wedged itself between the main shaft and put smal hairline cracks in it, he said to me that this shaft doesnt have force on it so it doesnt ever brake he said he had one from an r33 so he used it. The only reason i broke it is because of the gear braking and wedging itself in it.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
