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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
