Dunno why it broke.

I pulled the boost down to 1.5 bar (minimum I can run). Came in second session and second gear was knocking. Terry at award thinks its a bent or broken gear.

Dunno when I'm gonna pull it out. I'm a bit heart broken ATM.

i feel for ya man.....I really do. However, I'd be wanting to find out the cause of said broken gear as OS Giken Gbox should be capable of handling your cars power output

If I could quote both on my phone I would!

Ants; it's the torque. Twist x RPM = power. Bah.

BBQ Sleeper; I know what you're saying. I'm

Not one to be hard on the equipment. Hell, I turned the boost down and was shifting at no more than 6500 RPM. I never shift hard. Grr.

and that's what concerning to me.

Lol twisted gear set on a 2.8 litre with too much "torques"

Lol sounds like a farken assembly problem or bearing issues Eg assembly problem

Billet metal doesn't "bend" under 2.8 litres of nm

Just saying ... Unless your 2.8 is a 6 litre turbo diesel

Award f**ked up?

Hoping its a collapsed bearing. I've rung Terry and he hasn't given me good news.

The is gear set is rated for 800hp and if you do the math Paul's car is making some where around 750-800 at the engine, which puts the box at the top of its capabilities

Ye

Id put it at at 730-740hp at the crank

And you can really rate a gearbox by horsepower. Os should rate then by torque.

475kws is 617hp at the wheels now with an average drive train loss of between 20-30%, you're looking at 741-803hp at the crank and even if you take the middle ground of 25%, it's still 772hp

And the fact this car is making 350kw by 4500rom says it's making bucket loads of torque right through the rev range

+1 indeed.

So, after Tuesday, it looks like I have broken or bent a tooth in second gear.

Time for another aftermarket gearbox.

PPG straight cut dog box? The OS 5 speed doesn't cut it! :(

Transfer the money and I'll send it up..

You'll have to get rid of your nismo clutch though.

Lol.

Yeah, no.

There is nothing "street" about a holinger box.

Hang in there Paul, sure it can be heart breaking with things break but its part of playing with performance cars too....

I'd like to know how noisy a holinger is compared to a normal box too for streetability. If your not driving the car every day, who cares if its not a lot of fun in 3 point turns.

Have you thought of using an R34 getrag? With the R33 diff ratios it would handle more power, plus they are nicer to drive than an R33 box and cheaper than a holinger or built box.

I've thought about the R34 box. Are they really that strong? I liked the long ratios, it worked well. With the getrag and 4.11's it would go back to "Evo like rowing gears", which is something I don't think I'd like.

Holinger.... Nah. $20k for a box. Blah lol

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
