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??? :(

    • 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.
    • Turbotapin   so I am about to be mounting mine up been waiting for the body to get finish at paint. I had a question. I was told our Speedo sensor it originally in the transmission but the cd009 is in the diff on the z. How did you get around this?
