i did try one on our car, it broke within ten minutes ( the dog engagement was to harsh for it) snapped the ratcheting pegsoff.

cheers russ

p.s i have been told the ones for evo's, cable shift ones work heaps better , very different in design.

According to Ikeya, it won't work with a dog box.

The Redline/Speedtech VR4 in NZ uses one with a dogbox i think i remember him telling me it was a PPG. He also had a microswitch mounted on it to momentarily cut the ign so he could flat shift it...he said it was an awesome set-up and was the pivotal change that saw him run 9's.

Yes ours is a ppg box, it may very well have been just dodgy shifter that we recieved but looking at how the pegs were manufactured it didnt look like they would last very long ( i do believe they could be replaced with a billet setup for extra strength)

i asked ppg when we purchased our works box if we could use the Ikeya shifter with it and they said that due to their dog engagement design it would destroy the box or shifter in no time. I am waiting to hear back which dog boxes the d1 boys use with thier ikeya shifters.

Just purchased one of the new Gen Ikeya sequential shifters and they actually work far smoother than the old Generation ... much less effort is required now to change gears.

in ur opinion trent, would one of these shifters add extra strain to the '3rd gear synchro issue' in a gtr box? do u believe theyd help? (by taking away driver error with normal h pattern shifting)

keen to hear ur opinion and response >_<

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
