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? ;)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
