You can pick faults in any of the gearboxes, and every single option for a GT-R has a myriad of failure stories. I think it all comes down to budget, all of them seem to occupy a price range seperate to the others..

Cheapest to dearest of bolt in solutions:

1/OS Gearset

2/ Pfitzner gearset

3/ Trust H pattern

4/ Pfitzner H pattern

5/ HKS H pattern

6/ Trust sequential

7/ OS sequential

8/ Hollinger seq and H pattern

Somewhere in there is the HKS sequential and air shifted boxes, but due to the nature of them (have to be sent back to Japan to be fixed by HKS) I don't think they are really an option. Same with their H pattern box. All of the other boxes can get parts purchased for repairs or updates.

Cheapest to the dearest , that being the Hollinger the dearest ?

OK forget costs, what about best reliability and best rep for the money.

Last time I priced a Hollinger it was $23k with seq shifter. But I mean, really - that's a whole new car for that price!

$23 k Nah that's to serious for me , makes a 2 speed auto look nicer all the time.

Still concidering the trust box , not sure?

spoke to John Munro a while ago, things about how his street and race GTR going.

I remeber he mention the trust was "shit", pain in the arse to drive in the traffic and not strong enough.

He ditch the Hollinger in his race car and using a OS sequential from Keir Wilson.

Didn't ask why but it might indicate how good the OS is?

and i "think" he is using Pfitzner H pattern in his 4xxawkw street GTR

Possibly if the hollinger is too much look at the new HKS sequential versions. they had some on display at this years tokyo autosalon and they looked pretty serious. again they wont be cheap, but i imagine half the price of a hollinger...

I have heard a few people bitch about the trust boxes.

that ikeya shifter would have to be the biggest waste of money i have every seen. costs over $1500 and is just as slow or slower than just using your hand to shift through and H pattern. can you tell i'm not a fan...lol. seriously though, it's a waste of money.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
