Oh the lols

only do the Getrag if you do the 3.545 diffs as well, 1st gear in my 34 is now and always was useless even when it was a 2.6 with -7s, so add 4.11s to that and you may as well stay with the 5 speed as you won't use first with the Getrag

I can't wait to see the difference between 4.11s and 3.545s with the two identical OS88s once put side by side :D

I plan on being there for that event! :D

actually the Getrag is heavier then the 5 speeder so the advantage is on my side there by a couple of kgs

I'm hoping the longer first will get me off the line better and with the shift cut setup my ET should improve but doubtful my MPH will increase much, car is just to heavy :(

Needs more powahs

Ok well I've decided on the box I want and it's a ppg helical dog as like you piggaz highway driving with a 5th straight cut would do my head in. But would I have the same problem as with the os box regarding the taller gears that the ppg comes with? Sorry my set up is a an unopened rb26 which I'm about to put hks gtss turbos in..

If you are only going to run GT-SSs and no more, source a Getrag and 3.545 diff gears, much nicer to drive and plenty strong enough for the power a 2.6 with GT-SSs can put out

I will stroke the engine eventually and put bigger turbo's so will the getrag still be they way to go will be looking at 400+ at the wheels. but for know I will be driving it with the gtss and definitely need to do something about the gearbox as I have a few gears crunching

You know you can rebuild the box with new syncros for 1100-1200 bucks inc labour

Yeh but if I pull it out I would like to make it stronger. . The car does get used a lot for motorsport especially hillclimbs some 1/4 runs and the occasional track day ..

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
