yep still H pattern, same as normal except for a longer 1st gear, which combined with a triple plate solid centre clutch can be a bitch on hill starts and in traffic >_<

another I know with similar figures uses a ppg dogbox but doesn't seem to last long between rebuilds and obviously not ideal for the street..

decisions decisions ?? if you can afford it get the hollinger sequential :worship:.

I have gone through 12 std gearboxes. I now use with Redline gear oil. Haven't broken a box since....

holy shit 12ohmy.gif , if you are running the power in your sig. with antilag, I can't see how oil is saving the box, but I know guys with around 600rwhp and standard boxes, they have broken them too but cheap to get a second hand one compared to OS etc, they do change a bit softer now ..

the OP is looking at 800hp I don't think a standard box with Redline oil is the answer.

nah I'm sure any sequential would be awesome, lightning fast changes , are they all dog engagement? could be quite a bit of up keep-maintenance, on the down side...

i believe they are all dog style gears, just wondering what would rebuilds be worth? and how often will they have to be done?

i really want sequential and i would rather buy one box once and not be breaking boxs.

i do not see red line holding a box together at all.

seems hardly any one is using the os giken 88 box :(

any more info peoples thanks heaps

well.....according to the internet (which is never wrong), the os sequential box is actually a rebagded hollinger one. so you are just paying japan premium and getting less service/ support than buying the local one. hollingers come up on here already in skyline bellhousings fairly regularly

you should expect to perform regular maintenance on any high end gearbox - once a season at a minimum.

lol season? this part street car witch will see some circuit and drag work. what sorta km you rekon you would see out of a box before it needs a rebuild? and when you say rebuild its just bearings isnt it?

one thing that leads me to belive you are right about the rebadgeing thing is they use hollinger output shaft , But one thing that is wrong is about the price.

i can get a os giken 88 6 speed in Australia for 15.5k or a hollinger for 22k + the extras you need and the OS comes with every from shift lights to the control box.

os 88 and os88v2 is a complete os giken design. nothing to do with hollinger.

pros.. bigger than a hollinger. apparently shifts well.

cons. 1 piece lay shaft. ie. cant mix and match ratios, and over seas so parts are abit harder to get. also intergral bellhousing not seperate.

both use the chev 26 spline input shaft. ie os r3c etc clutch or custom setup. both come with a digital display for gear selected.

the os is fairly new on the block so not as well used as hollinger.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
