Anyone got an old 2nd hand Samwage plate out of a GTR gearbox for sale????

Don't do it man!

I don't understand this mentality. The one thing that is holding it all together is made out of this thin bit of alloy. May aswell put a dinner plate with holes in there.

Mine cost me about $900 delivered to my door through greenline.

If it saves you another box out and in its worth it!!!

Looks like PPG are going to sponsor me and give me parts at a discounted price, which is better than paying full price, got the results from the crack testing and all the other gears and dog rings are fine.. just waiting to hear back from the engineering shop that are trying to straighten my lower lay shaft. fingers crossed haha

What about the stronger 3rd gear? Any word on that?

Third is completely destroyed, im up for 2 new gears there, The funny thing is when the box broke I was 100% into the gear and it was just Horse power that sheared those teeth off the gears.

Great to share a tent with you guys @ Jambo.. Pity about the box issues.

Good to hear PPG is helping you get the gearbox sorted, can't wait to see how far you can take it with your current setup.

Only time will tell if HKS GTR makes an appearance to keep you on your toes.. till then good luck with the car.

Noy

Could have been fatigue from the action of shifting; full power in third could have been the straw that broke the camels back.

Could have definately well been that reason too, flat shifting at 1000HP doesnt really do any gearbox justice, but thats why I got ignition cut and certain parameters that reduce the amount of shock loading on the teeth.

After the $$$ spent worth considering a Holinger? Or sequential of sorts.

definately not a holinger, or a sequential, cost way to much money. They are weaker than Straight cut dog box, because they are helical cut dog engagment,

but yes the next option would be a liberty, but at the moment I want to keep it like a streeter for a bit longer haha

    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
    • Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
