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

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
