    Love it! Dash is porn!

    Yeah - and they anodize the box any colour you want - I'm thinking leaving it as is and having it clear coated. Thoughts?
  4. IMACUL8
    You having issues?

    Just went through all of this myself .. I bought the Albins today! The updated Albins is the ST6-LP (Low Profile) - it comes in a new custom billet casing that direct fits (no tunnel mods like previously). It is offered with a custom HyperTune shifter. I priced up the Albins, Samsonas, Holinger and PPG. Albins is the most expensive, Holinger and Samsonas about the same and the PPG was the cheapest. Dan

    Hey Been awhile since an update..... car hasn't moved in awhile.... After much - and I do mean much research & questioning .... I have finally taken the jump...... new box has been decided & ordered! I went with the Albins ST6-LP(Low Profile billet casing - direct fitment) with the HyperTune Shifter kit and associated accessories (cross member, etc) and bits. ??? New ECU and other items coming as well! Watch this space! Dan

    Thanks alot for your feedback Umair PPG being a Australian product makes me lean more that way. Has anyone on here actually installed a Samsonas - whats the ball park cost the box?

    I am currently looking to change my box in my R33 GTR . I currently have a Quaife (Trust) 6 Speed Sequential Gearbox (dog engagements / straight cut gears). It was in the car when I bought it in Japan. What I can tell you from personal experience - don't get one. I had it rebuilt with new parts from Quaife and its still not great. So instead of wasting more money on it - I'm looking for a replacement. Car is not tracked - rarely driven - but when it is it's street driven only - making about 510kw at the wheels. I'm looking for another 6 speed sequential - straight cut / dog engagement box - as I just love the noise and its not daily driven. From the few conversations I've had - I'm being told the PPG is the way to go over the Hollinger. I'm told that the more expensive Hollinger is still the same design it was many moons ago and PPG taken great lengths to improve their design and box. My budget is around the 20k mark - so that make PPG more attractive from that perspective. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys Dan

    Yeah I love it - cars done 1173km in 5 years - so its not daily driven - but I'm with you - would be tough on a daily.

    Of course - haven't been around much lately - got some work stuff I'm dealing with - but I'm subscribed to your thread as I love the car..... I'll be posting soon - have a potential project in the garage (car that I imported when I got mine for a guy that has come back to me) Can't keep both ... so we'll see what happens....

    Hey The car went on the dyno Monday - to test AFR to ensure injectors and fuel pumps we're all ok after the long sit with E85. Discovered one of the O44's at the surge take was dead - so decided to replace both of them with brand new items. The new fuel pumps arrived yesterday morning - were fitted and back on the dyno. On the dyno again - now with the fuel flowing strong - hit another small snag - the boost dropping off up high. Some investigation found that the boost was going to high (hitting 29/30psi) and the controller was engaging safe mode. It was originally tuned at a safe 27psi. Some adjustments were made and back at 27psi she sat. Boo-ya - the monster is alive again!!!!! Apparently, the new ARC 4" titanium sounds awesome ! The tune is too rich up top - I'm told that there's quite a bit more in it with some tuning. So I've decided to upgrade to the Haltech Elite! The car is still at the shop - still waiting on some fittings which seem to be taking forever to arrive - but hoping to pick it up late today or tomorrow. Dan

    Awesome job mate - love the colour of your intake plenum
  22. IMACUL8
    Thanks mate Got a call late yesterday arvo - everything has gone very smoothly so far - all that's left to do is fill it with fresh E85, get it started and put it on the dyno to check the fuel pumps and injectors - this will happen first thing Monday morning. Fingers crossed all goes well - and if so - will have it back and on the road some time later Monday. Here she is nearly ready....

    Love it Damian - any more pics - any engine bay? Still has the Holinger?
  24. IMACUL8
    Hey Damian Feel free to PM me if you want some feedback. I went to C-Red, Galvsport, Garage 101 and a couple of other places in search of a workshop. So excited at the thought of having my car back on the road after so long........

    Hey Damian Well regarding which shop - this was an interesting experience. I went and met with four prominent workshops here in Perth - was set to go to your shop of choice (as mentioned in your build thread - I won't name it) but after being dicked around - went with C-Red. Mark was by far the best shop owner that I dealt with - he was very open and honest, very approachable and was quick in getting back to me to answer my questions etc. In the end - it was a simple choice. I have given C-Red the opportunity - if they do a great job on the car - and continue with their great customer service and reliability as provided to date - C-Red will be my workshop going forward. Have already begun discussing next stage - new ecu, etc. So time will tell. Dan
