Ok guys i have my car recently built to 600AWHP spec, but i dont think the stock gearbox will hold up so im rebuiliding my gearbox completly with the OS Giken Crossmission gearset, plus evry cam in the box is going to be raplaced with new ones and all fluids will be changed using castrol synthetic fluids. and i want to change all the diffs on the car, for the rear i got the NISMO GT diff and for the front im thinking of getting a cusco 1 way. i would like your input on my setup regarding the OS giken crossmission gearset, and to what extend i can abuse this gearset (read: how much power can this gearset take)

Leewah's GTR had 604awkw's (800AWHP) and used the OS gearset and it never broke.

Just about everything else broke - but the gearset is still good.

Ben from Racepace also use one in his 500awkw track car. Previously I believe he did bust a Trust 6 speed dog box but hasn't had any issues with the OS.

I PM'd leewah regarding his set-up and he said this

I've got the whole 5 speed kit which includes the billet main shaft, billet output shaft, and billet sandwhich plate.

So he purchased the optional billet parts which is why he hasn't broken it yet.

    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
    • That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.
    • Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
