I have had the 3.0 in my 34 making 400kw+ for near a year now with two trips to the drags and a trackday at EC with no issues, but I am very mechanically sympathetic

This is a debate I had with Paully for ages when he was going to go the PPG, by the time you pay for the PPG set and have it fitted and you really need to have the Billet mid plate, you are better off saving a bit more and getting the sequential, unless there is a class restriction that requires a H pattern in which case the PPG box is the one to have

The problem with the aftermarket gearsets is they still go into a casing that wasn't designed to take that much power and flexes and due to size can't run bigger diameter gears, where the OS88 has 88mm centers and is purpose built to take upto 1500hp plus you get much faster gear changes, especially with shift cut setup :D

As for legalities, There is some crap about the shifter knob has to show the shift pattern I'm sure they could get you on of they wanted to.

Piggaz that's a fair wait for the box how does it work as in how much of a deposit you have to put down to get the ball rolling for one? If you don't mind me asking how much did one cost you?

The whole lot was the deposit, have to pay up front then wait 4 months or more for it to get here :(

It's ok for me my car is still running, but poor Paully has to sit and wait :(

Hopefully not to much longer now mate, if Paully wants to post the price he can

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
