The OSG sequential is meant to be the strongest of the bunch rated at 1500hp, but its a relatively "new" product so theres not many good/bad stories about it yet. The hollinger is a nice box, but a few rumors I hear of having a very low service life and they can and do break on high hp cars. Hollinger also do not make a H pattern box anymore, only sequential.

A friend of mine is running an OSG sequential and it was chosen over all the above mentioned boxes, as it "looked" the strongest and was rated for the highest hp out of all of them (and the workshop that built the car have seen some Hollinger failures and reccomended the OSG... very big workship in Sydney btw :)). The car is very fresh, ill see if he can post in here once he gets some good use out of it.

Why dont you tell us what hp you are running, then im sure some people can make some better suggestions. Youve already said the Hollinger is out of your price bracket (20,000 plus), and buy the time you grab a brand new Trust H pattern with the uprated input shafts and postage etc, youre going to be coming damn close to the price of the OSG box from Otomoto. If youre running 650hp and under, id suggest talk to PPG (Pfitzner) and get one of their dog sets and uprated shafts.

Ok, stupid question 101:  does the OS G gearset simply fit in the existing GT-R gearbox case?

Cheers,

Lucien.

Basically...

But why are these gearboxes braking? Just because you can do clutchless gear changes doenst mean you can do flat changes without an ECu momentarily cuting ignition?????

Does it come down to a certain extent that ppl dont shift correctly...which brings me to the question. :D

Does anyone actually have any 1st hand experience with these boxes and how you are meant to shift with them?

Gentlemen,

i will be running around 850 hp at crank. RB30 bottom end and 26 head with extensive mods to both, Innovative turbo etc etc..

The chap with Purple 32 and a dog box for sale has already contacted me and we are still talking.

Mashrock i contacted you 3 weeks ago about your box but you replied that it was not for sale at the time.

Now you guys will all hate me for this but i am staryting to lean towards some engineering fabriction time and putting a bullet proof tricked up 2 speed behind it and maintain the 4wd aspect.

It appears that it costs alot for gearbox's that still BREAK, i only want for strip not track.

If you still talking to me , any one with experience here?

I saw Mick featured in ZOOM mag with a two speed, any one know how i can get hold of him for advice.

Still not sure exactly what direction to go in. Simply looking for bullet proof performance.

I know this box isn't in the same league but has anyone seen a 6 speed getrag break as was talk to the tuner of markr34gtr cars and his opinion was they were a pretty good box there not running it now in the 9sec drag car but they used and abused it for sometime with no problems. It just i'm considering going this way as my requirement arn't at suggest a high hp level and it seems the getrag is strong than the std 5 speed.

pete

ps anyone wants to unload a getrag let me know cheers

pnblight:  You mean the one that's in the R34 GT-R?  I fairly sure Troy (ylwgtr2) managed to mangle his.

Lucien.

yes i believe they ran the r34 pretty hard for awhile then got to a point where they transferred the motor to the r32 as they didnt want to cut a r34 gtr vspec to go drag racing. And do you know what broke in the getrag etc and at what hp level he was running.

cheers

I can't find the post anywhere, but I distinctly remember a post by Troy with pictures of the busted gears. Maybe PM him.

I have used the ppg dog box in my car for about the last 18 mounths and have had no problems at all.This box has been abused(me learning to drive it and drag raced) as well as a lot of street driving.I lent this box to a friend for a while and they ran a 10.6 second pass in it as well.I run 600rwhp and my friend ran 700rwhp he now also has brought a box and runs 799rwhp,neither of us has broken one or had any problems these boxes are great ,easy to drive on the street the only down side is they are a little loud.Parts are in stock here in Australia and they are very helpfull.Iwould recommend this box to anybody.Hope this helps.

the v161 getrag that the supra and the R34 GTR use is a steaming pile of poo...... 3rd gear especially.....there noisy and notchy...there fine when you get them into gear....but its getting them into gear thats the drama....they like to strip the synchro meshing teeth off the gears....nissan dont sell parts to rebuild these gearbox's but fortunatly toyoya do....ask snowman....he has broken his...twice

The 5 speed getrag in the 32/33 gtr is stronger than the 6 speed in the 34gtr. The best of the bunch is the 33 series 3 due to the larger syncros & hubs. If you're running a 34 its not just a case of throwing in the 32/33 box as the diff ratios are different.

I've heard of a few trust dog boxes destroyed at around 500rwkw but not OS Giken gear sets at this power level, bonus is they are still a heli cut gear set so street driving is more pleasurable.

PPG are rubbish

What is this comment based on? Anything to explain why you said this as i am sure everyone is curious why you are claiming them to be rubbish, i sure am.

I don't know anything about these gearboxes so i am just interested to find out like most other people here.

Also, about the ikeya shifters, i read in hpi i think that they are slower shifting and more awkard then the stock shifter, great idea but just seems they didn't get it 100% right.

Oh and not that it really means anything but I WIN is running a Pfitzner gearbox in his 33 GTR now, might be worth asking him how its handling the power. If you want to pm him his username on here is MR33.

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
