Hard to say how strong the getrags are exactly, there is too much talk and not enough actual information. The way you drive you probably wouldn't have any problems.

I've only heard of two that failed. One was in a RIPS drag car that broke the gearbox housing with slicks during a launch. The other was a lubrication failure of 6th gear during a top speed run, most likely due to centrifugal forces throwing oil away.

Argh.

See the 34 conversion isn't a cheap one either. Shafts, flywheels, the box itself. I really don't know what way to go.

Gav in WA has busted two OS sets. Maybe they're not that strong after all?

A Synchro, straight cut 1-4 with a helical 5th would be perfect.

Yea there is a line I guess but if your fronting up 10k for a dog box what's a extra 5k for a sq os box

The coin aside, I just don't want a sequential. I think it would be a dead set pain in the ass driving around.

I priced up a dog box last month that would handle 1000HP+ closer to 15K ready to go.

The OS Giken Seq. looks great in comparison.

Holinger...a few too many breakages compared to the $ outlay.

Hard luck, Paul. Once the reason for the breakage is confirmed, might be best to remedy it if you are happy with the OS box

15K? Holy fark.

I

Gear set alone is near 10k... Add a billet sandwich plate, upgraded input shaft... Assembly.

That's for the biggest though, helical are less

Just get straight cut with ignition cut shifter... Won't wear the clutch out...

Haha

What's yours?

$$

Why are you selling it?

Everything.

PPG 1-5 straight cut dog

Billet selectors

big input shaft

Sandwich plate

2nd and 3rd main and cluster gears have only done one pass.

Planning on going sequential, because race car.

Pm me if you're interested.

Maybe the oil cooler fitted to the Aust delivered r32gtr ain't such a bad thing after all :)

Paul, buy a bunch of stock gearboxes and throw them out as u break them. Per my calc's, at 1k per item can u break say 10 of them? Light hearted humour...it's the worst when something lets go, we have all been there

I know man. ESP when it's a part that "shouldn't" have busted :(. Grr.

Was speaking to Gav yesterday, he put it in a funny way. He calls it "the gap". OS's don't seem to last, the next option is an expensive one.

I'll buy the boxes and as they die, you install them for me? ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
