Justin does yours have synchros?

Nope... dog box baby-

It's so easy to drive my GF drives it to the shops... It's only the R3C she has a little truble with... ha ha ha Hell she drives it harder on the street than I do!

Best box.... hollinger/OS 88

Good box for the money- PPG Helical set... I have one, it's brilliant.

A fellow member on here has possibly offered me there PPG staight cut gearbox. Im seriously considering it!!!

hay mate

do u have the street spec gear set or the drag spec gear set??

the drag one should definately hold that sort of power.

(i hope so anyways coz i wanna get one )

What is the differences in spec?? I know mine is 1-5 gearset os giken!

Got Car up on stands today and removed drain plug and dohh a gear tooth, cant wait to see inside!! :D

never ever heard of drag spec os boxes. from everything ive ever read they only make 1-3 or 1-5 gear sets that are meant to be rated to 800hp

800hp my ass my car at the time would have only been putting out 580rwhp.

sweet set up mate, did u ever quater it??

Nope not yet. I wanted to get the boost controller setup properly first and run some good boost with e85 and do a quarter in it. It just didn't quite get there.

I'm hoping for a good time. would be good to dip into the nines. Would be really happy with that.

Is the box new, who assembled it and how did it break?

I broke my PPG and a couple of axles but have failed yet to break the OS.

The box was second hand, i dunno who assembled it but it was nice and quite no noise and shift smoothly between gears.

I just clutch it in second launch it pretty hard while rolling and then just up shifted to third and then just heaps of rattling and banging noise.

I dropped the oil the other day and abit of helical tooth came out and the mag plug.

Justa quick question for all the gearbox gurus.

How often does a straight cut gearbox require inspections/overhauls?? :)

Also which do you guys think is stronger HKS 6 Speed dog box or a PPG 5 Speed Dog box??? :(

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
