Hi Everyone,

deciding to sell this box to free up some $$$$$. This gearbox

came with my r33 Gtr that i imported last year. Unfortunately the 5th

gear cluster sheered itself as it wasn't designed for top speed 5th gear action

at eastern creek :)

I quickly put in a os gearset as remaking the cluster needed 6-8weeks by the engineer,

I noticed the Os gearset was lazier as the ratios were not as close and the gearshifts were

certainly not as smooth as the yokohama box as it uses the double cone syncros.

Box is completely overhauled and cluster remade by AWARD diff and gear. Can arrange to contact them

if genuinley interested as gearbox is there and ready for dispatch.

my intial problem

Have got alot of questions about the box - did a quick search and a couple of comments from some hardcore Sauer's popped up

This is the non standard option with closer ratio's

I'm looking at new OS 5spd with uprated input or possibly going the Auto Gallery Yokohama box..HKS boys here reckon the AG Yokohana is slightky better and smoother box

the AGY 690 box is very nice. they are two kind of different things though. you can have OSG gearset with the AGY synchros. the AGY SS690 is a stock gearset but with new dual cone synchros where as the OSG set does not replace any synchros, it's just gears that are different ratio and have a different tooth profile (still helical though) on the gears. AGY can build you one using OSG gearset and their own dual cone synchros that has the best of both. :P they also do rebuilt/modded transfer cases which are worth doing as they do get a bit tired after 10 years+ of use. plus they have the 690R versions which have different ratios too. I haven't tried their extreme one which has a first gear that would take you to about 130kph! but I'm sure they are good too. get pretty exxy though. their hardcore one is super close ratio. would be great for drag and probably good circuit box too s you could use first on slow corners.

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
