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

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
