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

lol its no fun now is it :P

If you do end up chucking another stocker in, try Redline Light Shockproof. IIRC TO4GTR broke a few stock boxes, but then it survived after he switched to the Redline. Of course the tiny sample size means the evidence is very weak, but since most people dont break gearboxes at your power level, it might be worth a shot if youre not using it already. Or maybe PM him to see if he thinks.

What oil did you use in the broken boxes?

I asked for Redline but the mechanic put Elf something in... supposebly the 'recomended' oil

not gonna go there again thats for sure

ok I can get a OS Giken 3 gear set for $2,600

i think its a fair price... anyone know if any other place sells it cheaper??

also does one have any experience with their close gear ratios?

is it just going to accelerate quicker... and I'll be able to use 5th for highway driving??

I dont think its the shockproof you want i think its the MTL

This stuff i believe :thumbsup:

Keep the standard 5th. You don't need it reving it's head off on the freeway. I did that with my box.

$2,600. Who is that through?

Drive mine out at texi. The ratio's are longer. 87 km/h first, 138 km/h in second and 190 km/h at 8000 RPM.

To4 Dave started out with a route 6 box, smashed that and went Ppg :)

Damn - must have been someone else then. Maybe BWRGTR.... pretty sure the handle was six uppercase characters. I cant find the thread tho, so....

No, in this case I do mean Light Shockproof, not MTL.

its through a guy who knows a guy who gets stuff direct from supplier

yeh 4th/5th will be standard just changing the first 3

Texi is next sunday right? i'll bring my bro's 34 GTR and come for a ride :)

Edited by usmair

im getting the input shaft... but i dont see the need for 5th

You will if you break it.

That said, I know people have broken OS gearboxes as well with 380-400rwkw.

Lots of people strip 5th @ trackdays where you get into 5th simply because it's not meant for busting top speed/max power type stuff.

It's all about mechanical sympathy. If you show some, you won't break stock gearboxes.

Mechanical sympathy is great - and it's free!

I have the stock box, with a pretty short short shifter (10mm from in 1st gear to in 2nd gear), redline lightweight (smurfs blood) - been in the car since i bought it in 2005 and no issues. It even has a solid centre triple plate against it, and a 3L making decent power.

When it blows, it will be the 3 speed kit, with input shaft and the centre plate.

Limiter dump you nomhow it is ..........

haha Deano mate dont worry, it's copped its fair share of launching. Never off the limiter - i like my oil pump intact, but 7500rpm launches no problem

Bought a spare gearbox for it in 2006 and yeah, it's gathered years of dust cause this one just keeps going! Never launched it on semi's in the dry though, i'm pretty confident that will be the end of it

Whats the point of getting anti lag if i cant enjoy some 7k dumps :D

I wil try to go easy on the changes going forward though

Anyone know a good box/clutch installer in syd? I wanna goto a specialist this time to make sure there are no unexpected BANGS going forward

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
