Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[fatz]

Giken sq?

[GTRNUR]

Hard to say how strong the getrags are exactly, there is too much talk and not enough actual information. The way you drive you probably wouldn't have any problems.

I've only heard of two that failed. One was in a RIPS drag car that broke the gearbox housing with slicks during a launch. The other was a lubrication failure of 6th gear during a top speed run, most likely due to centrifugal forces throwing oil away.

[Piggaz]

Argh.

See the 34 conversion isn't a cheap one either. Shafts, flywheels, the box itself. I really don't know what way to go.

Gav in WA has busted two OS sets. Maybe they're not that strong after all?

A Synchro, straight cut 1-4 with a helical 5th would be perfect.

[Piggaz]

Giken sq?

Sequential just screams race car. That's the line between "streeter" and not. Bit overboard really. It ain't a time attack car.

[fatz]

Yea there is a line I guess but if your fronting up 10k for a dog box what's a extra 5k for a sq os box

[Nee-san]

Watching, because I have the same dilemma, looking at 34 Getrag in my 32.

Do a cost analysis on all the boxes.

and Fatz, 50% is 50%

The coin aside, I just don't want a sequential. I think it would be a dead set pain in the ass driving around.

[NXTIME]

I priced up a dog box last month that would handle 1000HP+ closer to 15K ready to go.

The OS Giken Seq. looks great in comparison.

Holinger...a few too many breakages compared to the $ outlay.

Hard luck, Paul. Once the reason for the breakage is confirmed, might be best to remedy it if you are happy with the OS box

[Piggaz]

15K? Holy fark.

I

[NYTSKY]

OS88 are 20k+ the tricky shifter.

[fatz]

im sure someone could hook him up trade price

[usmair]

my OS Giken set was built by Award too

and the metal gear knob gets quite warm even just doing high way driving...

is it something to be concerned about??

[jangles]

15K? Holy fark.

I

Gear set alone is near 10k... Add a billet sandwich plate, upgraded input shaft... Assembly.

That's for the biggest though, helical are less

Just get straight cut with ignition cut shifter... Won't wear the clutch out...

[Piggaz]

I have the billet sammich plate, so that's one thing I won't have to buy haha.

Just buy my dog box. You have gearbox, I'll have money. All problems solved

[Piggaz]

Haha

What's yours?

$$

Why are you selling it?

[jangles]

Haha

What's yours?

$$

Why are you selling it?

Everything.

PPG 1-5 straight cut dog

Billet selectors

big input shaft

Sandwich plate

2nd and 3rd main and cluster gears have only done one pass.

Planning on going sequential, because race car.

Pm me if you're interested.

[Marko R1]

Maybe the oil cooler fitted to the Aust delivered r32gtr ain't such a bad thing after all

Paul, buy a bunch of stock gearboxes and throw them out as u break them. Per my calc's, at 1k per item can u break say 10 of them? Light hearted humour...it's the worst when something lets go, we have all been there

[Piggaz]

I know man. ESP when it's a part that "shouldn't" have busted . Grr.

Was speaking to Gav yesterday, he put it in a funny way. He calls it "the gap". OS's don't seem to last, the next option is an expensive one.

I'll buy the boxes and as they die, you install them for me?

[fatz]

yup slap some stockers in it and save up for a rainy day
