Albins have moved into the defence industry sector and since this move there customer service regarding their sequentials has gone to poo.

Imagine the lead time in the event you need replacement parts

best of going with a samsonas mate! They are used in all the TRP shop cars and their after sales service is pretty spot on 

Im looking into it now mate.. waiting to hear back from my workshop.

+1 for Samsonas. Can't fault the box nor the customer service.

Only downside is if parts aren't in stock they need to come from Lithuania but even that is faster than Albins at the moment...

Case on its way for Anodizing and things are moving.

At end of the day - do I really need a Albins, Samsonas, Hollinger etc?  No. 

Car has never seen a track day, drags, etc.  Occasional street driving, cruzin, etc - and back in the garage.

Its way over kill for what I will ever need - but - hoping I will never have box issues again (at least not for a very long time).

I am setting up the internal oiling system on the Albins to run to a rear diff cooler (Z Tune style)....  again huge overkill for me - but fark it ;) will be functional and look amazing.  I have also slightly tweaked the shifter /strain gauge setup/look to what's offered standard.

Adding a new Motec ecu and c1212 dash etc. when the box goes in.  (thanks to Moray).

Ill just chill and wait - I'm sure this box will be more than I ever expected or needed!

Its a investment (that's what I tell myself so I don't cry) ;)

Is the case the issue, because that's not made by Albins, I figured Albins is the hold up?

Albins makes the case - they send to Platinum - they anodize and send back for gear set to be installed.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
