Overkill For 550Whp?

[cobrAA]

Hello guys,

I have a 550WHP R32 GTR.. I do about 10 drag run a year. Only use it as a street machine whatsoever. I'm wondering if I should go for :

1. a R33 transmission who has been rebuilt 1 years ago with Os giken 5 gears set and hollinger input shaft.

2. or simply open my R32 tranny and put new synchro for about 25% of the price of the os giken.

Would the os giken last for decade or it might break as quick as my oem with new synchro?

Thanks for your input!

What's breaking, the gears or synchros? They each break for completely different reasons. OS Giken won't save you from worn synchros, AFAIK they use the factory ones...so if that's what's wearing in your setup then stick with the factory box. The weak link in the standard box is 3rd gear, but if you've been doing okay with it gear wise then I'd just replace synchros or get a second handy cause they are dirt cheap.

Don't forget that you will need a new clutch if you go for the OSG with Holinger input.
