Justin does yours have synchros?

Nope... dog box baby-

It's so easy to drive my GF drives it to the shops... It's only the R3C she has a little truble with... ha ha ha Hell she drives it harder on the street than I do!

Best box.... hollinger/OS 88

Good box for the money- PPG Helical set... I have one, it's brilliant.

A fellow member on here has possibly offered me there PPG staight cut gearbox. Im seriously considering it!!!

hay mate

do u have the street spec gear set or the drag spec gear set??

the drag one should definately hold that sort of power.

(i hope so anyways coz i wanna get one )

What is the differences in spec?? I know mine is 1-5 gearset os giken!

Got Car up on stands today and removed drain plug and dohh a gear tooth, cant wait to see inside!! :D

never ever heard of drag spec os boxes. from everything ive ever read they only make 1-3 or 1-5 gear sets that are meant to be rated to 800hp

800hp my ass my car at the time would have only been putting out 580rwhp.

sweet set up mate, did u ever quater it??

Nope not yet. I wanted to get the boost controller setup properly first and run some good boost with e85 and do a quarter in it. It just didn't quite get there.

I'm hoping for a good time. would be good to dip into the nines. Would be really happy with that.

Is the box new, who assembled it and how did it break?

I broke my PPG and a couple of axles but have failed yet to break the OS.

The box was second hand, i dunno who assembled it but it was nice and quite no noise and shift smoothly between gears.

I just clutch it in second launch it pretty hard while rolling and then just up shifted to third and then just heaps of rattling and banging noise.

I dropped the oil the other day and abit of helical tooth came out and the mag plug.

Justa quick question for all the gearbox gurus.

How often does a straight cut gearbox require inspections/overhauls?? :)

Also which do you guys think is stronger HKS 6 Speed dog box or a PPG 5 Speed Dog box??? :(

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
