Stock Rb26 + -9S + E85

[usmair]

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

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?

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

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

not gonna go there again thats for sure

[usmair]

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??

[Mick_o]

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

This stuff i believe

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.

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.

less short term thinking just stump up the extra 1500 for the 5 gear set +input shaft

[usmair]

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

[Piggaz]

Sell the 5th for coin!

[R31Nismoid]

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.

[Deano 1]

Pm me the full cost of the 1st to 3rd plz hehe

[N1GTR]

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.

I'll hold you to that!

Be hard pressed to pop 1st gear. The front diff is the issue. Ash knows

[N1GTR]

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

[usmair]

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

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
