yep still H pattern, same as normal except for a longer 1st gear, which combined with a triple plate solid centre clutch can be a bitch on hill starts and in traffic >_<

another I know with similar figures uses a ppg dogbox but doesn't seem to last long between rebuilds and obviously not ideal for the street..

decisions decisions ?? if you can afford it get the hollinger sequential :worship:.

I have gone through 12 std gearboxes. I now use with Redline gear oil. Haven't broken a box since....

holy shit 12ohmy.gif , if you are running the power in your sig. with antilag, I can't see how oil is saving the box, but I know guys with around 600rwhp and standard boxes, they have broken them too but cheap to get a second hand one compared to OS etc, they do change a bit softer now ..

the OP is looking at 800hp I don't think a standard box with Redline oil is the answer.

nah I'm sure any sequential would be awesome, lightning fast changes , are they all dog engagement? could be quite a bit of up keep-maintenance, on the down side...

i believe they are all dog style gears, just wondering what would rebuilds be worth? and how often will they have to be done?

i really want sequential and i would rather buy one box once and not be breaking boxs.

i do not see red line holding a box together at all.

seems hardly any one is using the os giken 88 box :(

any more info peoples thanks heaps

well.....according to the internet (which is never wrong), the os sequential box is actually a rebagded hollinger one. so you are just paying japan premium and getting less service/ support than buying the local one. hollingers come up on here already in skyline bellhousings fairly regularly

you should expect to perform regular maintenance on any high end gearbox - once a season at a minimum.

lol season? this part street car witch will see some circuit and drag work. what sorta km you rekon you would see out of a box before it needs a rebuild? and when you say rebuild its just bearings isnt it?

one thing that leads me to belive you are right about the rebadgeing thing is they use hollinger output shaft , But one thing that is wrong is about the price.

i can get a os giken 88 6 speed in Australia for 15.5k or a hollinger for 22k + the extras you need and the OS comes with every from shift lights to the control box.

os 88 and os88v2 is a complete os giken design. nothing to do with hollinger.

pros.. bigger than a hollinger. apparently shifts well.

cons. 1 piece lay shaft. ie. cant mix and match ratios, and over seas so parts are abit harder to get. also intergral bellhousing not seperate.

both use the chev 26 spline input shaft. ie os r3c etc clutch or custom setup. both come with a digital display for gear selected.

the os is fairly new on the block so not as well used as hollinger.

      Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
