haha!

$3600. Otomoto want $4,500. Fair deal!4/5 gears work, that's fair :P

But the OS 3 speed kit from RHD is only $2000 & the 5 speed kit is $2400…I don't see the limited edition 4 speed kit like the one you have though. :rofl:

Haha. It's really good. ITs just a REALLY tall 2nd 3rd and 4th. 5 gears are crap, although you really need a torquey engine. :P

Just put an OS88 into the car …you know you want to , there only 14k landed from RHD.

At least its rated to 1500hp unlike the PPG.

Downside=cost , and who the fark wants to service the thing every 5000kms.

Why can't someone manufacture a damn box rated to 1200hp or so , that can drive like the stock box, no ridiculous service intervals, without needing a kidney donation to fund it. :/

14k is getting up there. If u could a second hand stock box for $700, u could go thru 20 of these...what a great option :)

Wouldn't be so bad if only took ten minutes to swap them out.

I couldn't a agree more. There is a HUGE gap in the market. Not everyone wants sequentials but they have the power to warrant a bulldog box.

Let's see how this dog box is. Can't be that bloody hard!

What I am having troubles with is a clutch to accept the larger spline. I rung Jim berry and asked if he could modify one if I sent him a brand new coppermix. He wasn't sure. Took my number down and is going to get back to me.

Suggestions?

Cant be that difficult to have your clutch plate modified to suit the larger spline shaft & reuse your nismo pressure plate.

Have you tried John at Western clutch at St Marys..he might be able to sort you out as well.

Did PPG recommend any particular clutch when using the large input ?

Maybe you can email them a picture of the centre boss of the hub & just say to mod the centre to accept the large spline .

Apparently it is. Something to do with the type of twin they are.

No recommendation. I really don't want to move away from it though. My one has been in the car for 9 years. Don't care if I have to buy a new one, but it works and drives awesome.

I would take the centre boss of the clutch apart and get the splined drive out of it & find a shop who will machine the identical part but with the spline size you require.

This is the problem.

I don't want any downtime. If I buy a new coppermix and can't get it done then I'm rooted.

Time to keep calling around I think.

You don't need to buy a whole new coppermix ..you can buy the new centre boss for $275 & new clutch plates for $228 from RHD .

If someone can't machine a new splined drive with a cnc machine then they need shooting.

Do you know what size & spline count the large shaft is ?..i can't find the info on ppg's site .

I wonder what ppg would charge to make another centre drive to suit their shaft if you supplied the original nismo unit to them ?..it wouldnt hurt to ask if they would or could do it since your willing to drop a bunch of cash on their gear sets.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
