Not sure if this has been posted before but found it the other day.....

question is..... is this to much power. would less power result in a faster lap time. this thing looks rather hard to control even on this larger track... OR do you think with a top driver (eg - Tsuchiya) this thing would be unbeatable.

let the footage and thoughts roll !!!!!!!

the problem is the track and the driving style. of course it's going to be a bit of a handful when you are taking most corners in first or second gear! that is a pretty dinky little circuit, not really suitable for the car, and even a mild track GTR will light the tyres in first and second gear coming out of a corner....

I know its sequential box, but it still sounds like a stocker 34 box on idle, but then again the dog box i had sounded similar to the stock 34 box on idle too..

big cams and titanium exhaust by the looks on that car, hopefully the result i end up with too! sounds awesome!

Do OS Giken make a sequential box or is a OS Giken gear set in a std hsg with one of those ikea formula sequential shifters bolted on?

Does not look anywhere near as smooth as the holinger.

it's an OS88 full sequential 6 speed close ratio box. nothing like a conventional box with ikeya shifter.

OS88 box is a good thing. some people i speak to in japan rate the hollinger, some rate the OS88 or HKS sequential. almost none use the trust/quaife box.

yeah i've used an ikeya shifter. it's ok. not sure it's the best money spent and not sure it really imrpoves lap time. it does mean you wont miss gears i guess. it's also only as good as the box you sit it on top of. don't expect it to turn a standard nissan box into anything like that OS88 above... it also takes a little getting used to at first! their paddle shift set-up for standard boxes looks quite cool too. but again, not sure it's worth the dough.

the one above probably looks savage next to marks hollinger as mark is using a strain sensitve gearknob which activates the ignition cut for smooth gear shifts. not sure that the endless car has that, from the look of the vid i'd say not. they just bash it into gear.

edit: I should mention a friend in japan sent me pics of that car when it was getting built and when it was finished a year or so ago when we were just building the hi-octane R34. It was one of our benchmarks in look, and quality of finish etc. and I think we did even better. :whistling:

Hey Michael I believe from memory that the os88 sequential box is around the 12 000 000 yen mark wich is substantially cheaper than a holinger and it is also rated to 1500hp where as the holinger is only rated at 800hp. But in saying that i do believe that the os88 is more suited to drag racing rather than track use. And there is no choice of ratio's used you get the ratio that they supply and that is it. Hence Richard saying that the diff hears would need a change.

Thanks for the info Richard, i enjoy building transmissions i used assist in running a transmission section a few years ago but we mainly built power shift and some counter shaft transmissions, have done a few road rangers and alike but my experience is minimal on these smaller boxes. I have been considering attempting to build my own but i might have to try something cheaper and simpler first to see how i go.

Sorry to hi jack the thread the car is not to bad for a drag car, :whistling: .

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
