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.

800bhp is what i've speced everything else to, but prolly be lucky to make 750bhp. i know theres some pretty decent hp cars usin the os kits, but then theres just as many people who have broken os kits. Also from what i've seen you only strip down a dog box after a year of racing, just to check it then.

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.

periodic maintenance far outweighs the need for a complete replacement if u do smash an os set, @~5k for a ready to go os 5speed

plus theres the likelyhood of this gtr becoming a track only car, i can see it happening

From a back yard car to a track only car. Thats quite a contrast :domokun:

there's a more recent article on the ppg dog boxes....

yeah i read that, and i aint goin ppg lol, i've seen 1 ppg break, and whitnessed issues with another on the weekend (the later bein a 2 weekend old box, the other a 2 yr old box)

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

i'll be the first to say it...youll be waitin a while lol. the engine's nearing finish time and startup, but theres the suspension side and braking side i gotta take care of before i go spastic with driving it in anger

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 :P

that and coupled with a super light twin setup :P

Im looking foward to racing it :)

it'll be interesting to see indeed!

i would say u'd have me from down low, but seeing a result with a built 26/30 coupled with a TO4z from UK, 1bar by 3200rpm on the run in tune, i reckon i'll be on song very early! :domokun:
