Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Ants]

^^ it's almost like a whore thread haha.

Wheel count is up to 3.

I really struggle to understand your priorities sometimes Paulie...........

[Ants]

So, although I need a gearbox, I bought a set of TE37's in 18 x 10.5 + 15.

Excuse the bad head haha

but do admit that those ^^^ wheels look hawt

It did, till I broke my built box.

Give me time. Most of the important stuff is custom or one off, won't stop now!

Where's ya beer gut ??

[Marko R1]

He has a beer gut but his massive guns disguise it well. Kinda has chopper read proportions and even talks like him.

So about the gearbox, though I'm sure this is propaganda and maybe even doctored or false (lol) but this video helped me choose a PPG helical dog box.

All-in the thing ran $12k usd

PPG 1-5 hel-dogs

Billet forks

Billet OS giken center plate

Billet large spline input shaft

New bearings

Labour for shepherd transmissions to install.

Shipping from USA to Canada including customs

I have give or take the same power (2.8L also) and tall gears. I have yet to drive it (machining engine) but should be ok...

Hope I don't need to rebuild it too often, I took a huge paycut and have 2 kids now lol.

I am currently looking for gearbox cooling options and expansion tank (leading cause for PPG fails is supposedly oil starvation which is surprisingly not warranted, word is oil gets slung into the breather and spit out until the level is low enough to cause problems.... I dunno.

I got tired of swapping stock gearboxes...

I have flatshift and launch control. So we'll see how to goes.

[NYTSKY]

At that price I think we should start ordering gear sets from the US.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Paul, looks like your arms have gotten smaller.. been working the beers more? lol

[fatz]

At that price I think we should start ordering gear sets from the US.

its a well know fact that a aussi product when shipped to the usa then shipped back are cheaper than buying loacally

lol

And this is why no one supports local manufacturers.

It also disproves the nonsense that local products are priced as competitively as claimed.

[Miguelone]

I support local manufacturers... I buy their products from the US or the UK .

[Marko R1]

Look at some of the products we've developed for the gtr such as motec and ppg

Oh and don't forget the mighty victa mower
