yes all true, but. unforntunatly with a dog box you do need to crack test the parts. its just a fact of life. you smash something with a hammer for a year or soo it will crack. just when is the gamble.

Dave what sort of km's has your box done since you built it? Do you use the clutch for upshifting?

I had my PPG straight cut dog pulled down and inspected after about 6000kms of use Street (85%) Hard driving 15%, it had a very small amounts of wear on the dogs maybe due to the fact i always use the clutch for shifting i find it way to rough otherwise..

well i bought it secondhand. so id say its got a few.

that and me having to trial and error the best way of "street" driving it.. my guess is at least new dogs for 2nd and 3rd. (so all the dogs lol..) and depending how worn the gears are, them to. (2nd,3rd)

i use the clutch. just shifting fast and firm with a pause going up gears and rev matching down. (down is way more easier than going up....)

waht sort of shifter is recomended. a quick shifter or stock???? i was thinking of making a super quick shifter but im to scared of missing a gear.

i almost got reverse on the freeway once going from 5th to 4th :s (full monty box)

I still run the standard shifter but have been wondering whether or not to upgrade to a short/quick shifter for quite awhile.

The ultimate shifter would be the stillway 0-400 with the lockout but its no good for circuit..

These boxes can be fatal if you mess up, 5th to reverse would have been real nasty goodbye engine clutch gearbox and possibly your feet/legs.

2nd to 1st on the upshift to 3rd is what worries me its easily done alot of people have found out the hard way myself included...

Driving a GTR with a Dog box is no joke it makes you appreciate a driver like Mark Berry that goes lap after lap without a problem...

People need to take this into account before installing a dog box one mistake and you can turn 20 grand+ into scrap...

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!

      Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p

      Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
