Flick Tom a email at PPG. He owns the ex PPG demo GTR and says the box has been in the car for 7 years, 40,000 kms and no issues/freshen ups. That's the helical 1-4 dog set.

How much do you value lightening fast shifts? Don't forget, that particular gear set, the ratios are substantially taller than factory (1-3).

Do you mean the helical or straight cut has tall ratios? If anything the GTR needs shorter ratios

They both have taller ratios.

Assuming a 265/35x18 tyre and stock ratios and a rev limit of 8000 RPM the speeds are as follow

Stock

1st - 75

2nd - 120

3rd - 180

PPG Helical and straight cut dog

1st - 89

2nd - 143

3rd - 189

OS GIKEN

1st - 87

2nd - 138

3rd - 190

Quaife only make the first series bushed shifter, but that isn't any good in my opinion. You cannot really use the stock shifter as it breaks the plastic bush after selecting reverse a few times.

I am investigating weather or not the OS88 direct shifter will work, but I have my reservations as it is made for the forward-back two-way selection of the sequential and is probably too short for the 6 speed H-pattern.

Best bet would be to have one custom-made. I am getting one for mine custom-made soon...I can get two made if you like.

Alternatively, you could buy an Ikeya sequential shifter conversion...but they aren't cheap

Charlie, why not just buy the os88 shifter. There are two to choose from. A straight one or a bent one.

The OS88 shifter won't have enough leverage to go across when selecting reverse (needs to be slightly longer).

I have an OS88 shifter that I will try to confirm this, but looking at it, it won't work. Selcting 1 - 6 is fine, it's the extra few mm needed to go across and up into reverse that is the issue. And the narrow reverse idler gear of the Trust box is prone to wearing out due to this (I just replaced mine due to this issue).

Plus, I would rather the rest of the OS88, not just the shifter :D

I just missed out on a slightly used complete option 2 kit at a top price the other week...pity the Yen is so much stronger these days.

Plus, OSG say 2 month wait but it is usually 4 months....and $$$ upfront

However, if there are a few together, it will apparently be quicker....

We know that, can't do anything about it.

I need to know if you're in with us or not that way I have a firm number to try and bargain with.

    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
    • Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
