changing gears easier would save you 5k

cost benefit ratio for you being nicer to your car is very high, and would allow you to be quicker at the strip.... as you would get to the end

lol

lol its no fun now is it :P

If you do end up chucking another stocker in, try Redline Light Shockproof. IIRC TO4GTR broke a few stock boxes, but then it survived after he switched to the Redline. Of course the tiny sample size means the evidence is very weak, but since most people dont break gearboxes at your power level, it might be worth a shot if youre not using it already. Or maybe PM him to see if he thinks.

What oil did you use in the broken boxes?

ok I can get a OS Giken 3 gear set for $2,600

i think its a fair price... anyone know if any other place sells it cheaper??

also does one have any experience with their close gear ratios?

is it just going to accelerate quicker... and I'll be able to use 5th for highway driving??

Keep the standard 5th. You don't need it reving it's head off on the freeway. I did that with my box.

$2,600. Who is that through?

Drive mine out at texi. The ratio's are longer. 87 km/h first, 138 km/h in second and 190 km/h at 8000 RPM.

To4 Dave started out with a route 6 box, smashed that and went Ppg :)

Damn - must have been someone else then. Maybe BWRGTR.... pretty sure the handle was six uppercase characters. I cant find the thread tho, so....

No, in this case I do mean Light Shockproof, not MTL.

im getting the input shaft... but i dont see the need for 5th

You will if you break it.

That said, I know people have broken OS gearboxes as well with 380-400rwkw.

Lots of people strip 5th @ trackdays where you get into 5th simply because it's not meant for busting top speed/max power type stuff.

It's all about mechanical sympathy. If you show some, you won't break stock gearboxes.

Mechanical sympathy is great - and it's free!

I have the stock box, with a pretty short short shifter (10mm from in 1st gear to in 2nd gear), redline lightweight (smurfs blood) - been in the car since i bought it in 2005 and no issues. It even has a solid centre triple plate against it, and a 3L making decent power.

When it blows, it will be the 3 speed kit, with input shaft and the centre plate.

haha Deano mate dont worry, it's copped its fair share of launching. Never off the limiter - i like my oil pump intact, but 7500rpm launches no problem

Bought a spare gearbox for it in 2006 and yeah, it's gathered years of dust cause this one just keeps going! Never launched it on semi's in the dry though, i'm pretty confident that will be the end of it

      I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly.

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
