Paul are you all G'd up for sat?

I'll be there but only watching as i know our car would spit a gear box if we push it much harder.

Also whats the Quickest time you have run so far? I'm sure that will get slashed on sat though.

Cheers

gotta instal a tailshaft loop...WTF...these ANDRA tech inspectors are starting to p1ss me off. Not g'd up...absolutely exhausted from prepping car. Quickest time...ive never driven the car so the quickest time will be easy to beat.

The one you told me about at Powercruise

yeah we got dudded...Stace picked up the box yesterday, brought it to the workshop. Guess what we found inside when we split the case.....the most thrashed STANDARD R32 GTR box ive ever seen (besides the one i smashed at the creek)...third gear had nearly every second tooth chipped and second wasnt too crash hot either. NOT HAPPY JAN!

So in true "team twoogle" DIRTgarage style we built ourselves a semi-decent..(if there is such a thing) std box out of the parts we had available. Hell we even have a reverse gear now.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
