lol now now fellas

this was suppose to be 10k build... that 10k has already been spent and ill ive ended up with is 320kw and another broken box haha

ah well... it is what it is...

now the issue is what to do...

get another 33 box (which I can get for $500) + plus install and whack that in and drive like a pussy for the rest of my life

or fork out 4-5k for a OS/PPG gearset

cost vs benefit really

How many boxes will you do till you put a 'big box'

In? If you do 4, you're half way there and are still stuck with a standard box. You shouldn't be busting them with the power you have UNLESS you have no mechanical sympathy!

I say do it and do it properly. Costs less in the long run!

They can either work for or against you. At Huntley it really works. You just need a bigger engine to turn the cogs. *hint hint, nudge nudge* ;)

I got something in the pipe line.... hahaha a few more months mate

its 1st, 2nd and 3rd that cop the abuse so it would be perfect right?

thoughts?

Well that would be the same as mine as I decided to go for OEM 5th gear for highway.

That's about 3K? Try greenline.

What clutch?

That is often the cause of broken boxes.

I've got 360rwkw or so, and I can launch from 8000rpm with sticky tyres, smack second - no problems. Even flat changing 3rd-4th wasn't a problem... Run after run.

Anyone @ Drag Battle can verify :)

Not sure now.

I bought my 5 speed with big input shaft for $2,760 delivered from greenline 4 years ago. You will need all the Series 3 internals to run it.

Make sure you buy the billet centre plate from OS.

I have a spare OSG billet centre plate here ;)

Or a Trust/Quaife H-pattern dog box. :whistling:

changing gears easier would save you 5k

cost benefit ratio for you being nicer to your car is very high, and would allow you to be quicker at the strip.... as you would get to the end

lol

yeah but fatz he wants to chirp second

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
