To make it harder, PPG have a sequential soon and Albins seems to be gaining popularity.

Having purchased and installed an OS88 last year, it really isn't that crazy out on the street. I chose the 88 for a few reasons. Helical cut gears. It's no noiser in gear than a stock box. It bolt

Yeh I know that's the only issue, how long did they really last. Even a Hollinger will do 8's easy but won't take too many launches before issues. I'm starting to think the TH400 is the way to go, app

Okay he's decided to go with a Samsonas Sequential, they're proven in GTR's at a reasonable price and parts and support is awesome. We'll see how it all goes, car is far from finished

Hmmmmm they've had it for a while now I believe!! Few of the guys ran them last year at the GTR drag battle as far as I know. I'm pretty sure they're all holding up well and no breakages etc. they have at least in Evos and big power rotaries down here in Melbourne . My friend mentioned also that when it comes to servicing and parts etc they have a very quick turnaround and availability of parts.

Iv personally looked into the ppg and there has been a few breakages and still improving on the reliability.

I've never heard of a Samsonas in a GTR and I've never heard of a PPG 6 speed sequential breaking so I have no idea where you are getting your info... Any references?

Well they were due to be released in April but running a little behind. My friend ordered one through them, apparently they took a number of orders that they'll be doing before releasing to public. That's his situation I'm only going by what he's told me and if seen email they sent him. I think they took something like 10 orders!! Maybe for r&d to see how they work and hold up before releasing publicly.

Piggaz yes I spoke to Adam and PPG rep at wtac and JEM has smashed a few actually as have a few others. You can say they're ironing out weaknesses and problems. So they made it sound like that, and the newest one he has in his car is the improved one and holding up fine.

I have an OS ordered too, hopefully it holds up. Paul where did you get your centre plate from?? Seems like it's an important piece I'm missing

I got mine from Greenline I'm pretty sure.

Drove the car today first time with the holinger sequential - all I can say is I'm in love. 

Drove it very easily - amazing how fast the shifts are. Box is a little clunky when cruising it very slow so would definitely not recommend for a daily. 

My car is a 700hp plus street car that is driven once a week if that, it's taken out for a spirited drive then gets locked back in the garage. 

So to all those tossers that said "good luck driving that box" these are little jealous fcks that can't afford a decent box or car, have never driven a sequential box and definitely live a very sad life.

From my initial drive I'd definitely recommend for any serious car. Dyor

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
