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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
