Endless R R34 Gtr

[ming spec]

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 !!!!!!!

f**king wild car... Absolute handful!

[hoony]

lol monster... awesome gearbox hehe

[Beer Baron]

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....

So gogo Fuji Speedway then Beer man?

[Beer Baron]

yeah but it would need new diff ratios at least. most likely running 4:4s and it's close ratio box. but yeah, no first gear corners at fuji!

[Roy]

Well there is a GTR with enough power to be entertaining to drive

[DCIEVE]

Will have to get out to see it run if it actually is in norway this year..?

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.

I think OS make their own sequential shifter, for their straight cut gear sets.

[Angus Smart]

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!

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

[BOZ22N]

Thanks Richard, Have you used one of the ikeya shifters? Are they any good?

Still the footage may not do the box justice but the footage for the hi octane R34 looks a little shorter in the throw and s little smoother.

[Beer Baron]

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.

[ming spec]

beer baron do you mind posting up some of the pics of the endless r build you were sent.

cheers

hey richo

whats the price of the it's an OS88 full sequential 6 speed close ratio box?

cheaper than hollinger?

Cheers

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.

[BOZ22N]

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, .

[Rhys9]

I don't know if it's to much power?? Maybe a matter of bigger track and possibly more time in setting the car.

It does look like fun thou!

Does anyone else think that guy is a pretty average driver?
