rofl

GOOOO QQUUEEENNNSSSLLLLAAANNNDDDD!!!!!!!!!

Stewart what are your cars specs?

all good things take time....or lots of money.

you know you can drive when you can drive with a dog box too....good bragging rights

all I can say is I can't wait to see and go for a ride in your car once it's finished Shane!!

yeah nengun are good and so are the c's short shifters.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=159419&hl there's a more recent article on the ppg dog boxes....

why not go all out and get something sequential or does the budget not like this idea?

Hey Bryn

I dont know, from what I researched when I was looking at boxes, dog boxes are very high maintenece, especially if driven on the street as they don't select gears well. Also unless you opt for billet selectors they have an even shorter life span. I am pretty sure SydneyKid was saying they strip their boxs after almost every race meet as it's necessary to check for problem components...and iirc he was talking about how they had to replace items rather regulary as they started to wear down. I think they are perfect for track only cars, but a bit of a problem for street driven cars.

So what box are you going to go...how much power are you intending to make? The os giken and ppg gearsets have been used in some pretty high hp cars that do regular track days. You aren't going to go with something dog engagement are you, talk about spending your weekends stripping down your box to check everything out after a day at the track....no thanks.

os giken or ppg gearset ftw...dog engagement boxes are a biatch though, i'd hate to have one in a regular street car....way way to much effort. Some form of Syncros really are your friend.

more so refering to situations that require rev matching than suggesting a gearbox setup

werd...had a short shifter in the 33...no probs. Indeed I do mean that....more so rev match with a cross cut gear set (dog box) as its a biatch with no syncros. No real point rev matching on a car with syncros other than high rev downshifting to prevent compression lock ups or to challenge yourself if your clutch ever goes lol.

Get a written quote price and ask them to stick to it is my advice. If there are any problems or complications that are going to cost ANYTHING additional tell them you want to know about it BEFORE they go ahead. Having said that his increase wasn't all that substatial and i'd probably accept it as the "usual mechanic" behaviour of under quoting. Anyway, so all your issues are fixed now?

tool.

I'm kind of a big deal....people...know me. I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.... (ok thats enough) btw hai.

i'm bored.

siff have standard syncros....dog box and learn to rev match, its the only way.

nengun ftw....provided you don't get screwed with something out of stock and it takes a while. I've bought things from them in the past though and they've been fantastic!
