Hi, i have finnished a RB30/26 build now for my drift car that will se around 800-850whp.

Im currently sitting on a stock gearbox and that wont last long with semi slicks tyres.

So im looking for a uprated gear set for my 25 housing and decided to go for a straight cut.

A company here in Sweden just started importing the PAR gear sets, i did some searching around SAU and found that it was not so much positive information to read about PAR engineering.

But that was from about 08 to -12 then it goes quiet.

Have PAR gotten their shit togeather or did just people stop buying their products?

Here in Sweden it's like half the price for the PAR kit vs a PPG kit so i thought it was worth asking.

So are they still shit and what was the problem back in the days when they failed?

And do you guys know if anyone use them for drifting now days?

I saw the same, they had a run of problems and then have gone quiet. I'm going to try them for my next box, my car doesn't make big power and I'm willing to take a chance to save that much....

Occasionally the top boxes like hollinger come up on here 2nd hand under $20k, but what everyone forgets with them is the cost of the annual rebuild at hollinger prices...

At the top of this page the second "pinned" thread is about the computer controlled LSD in the back of your V-Spec. If you read all of it (its not too much) you will find out how to service your diff so that it works properly. If you can afford it now wold be a good time to put a Quaife LSD in the front of your car (available from Palmside in Christchurch NZ) and if you have the time and inclination there is information in this section on how to beef up your transfer case (with a GTR the spending never ends!)

Word of warning regarding gerrard and PAR gearsets. Stay thafuq away from them. Searching my gearbox threads will explains

Yeah i have seen that you have had your fair share of problems with PAR.

What was your main problem with the kit? braking the gears?

I know of two people using PAR gear sets and they swear by them. One is actually an engineer for BMW and builds some very impressive track cars.

I've heard they have come a long way since 2009-2012.

Apparently some of the quickest 35s in the world are using PAR gears.

I'm in the same boat and was looking at PAR however might just go the PPG or seq route

My pulsar runs a PAR gearset, previous owner went through the whole process so i can only really pass on what he said and other pulsar peoples opinions...

He said they make a good product, but workmanship wasnt consistent (this was prior to 2011). Gearbox was sent back 2-3 times to be re-assembled properly.

Ever since ive had it, the gearbox has been a dream (touch wood). Its the best manual ive driven, i love it. Can treat it like a dirty broad minded person or baby it. I do use their recommended Neo gearbox oil though, which aint too cheap.

800hp RB25/30 drift daily driver whut, crazy Swedes... :P

What's wrong with helical cut gears? Or are you after straight cut whine?

Hehe, yeah it's pretty close to a competition car without a rollcage. But it passed the MOT last year so it's "street legal"

I just think that straight cut vill be stronger. I dont know how many that have killed a OS giken gear set but i know that i would kill my self if i bought one for that amount of money and it went suicide on me..

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
