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.

  • Like 1

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.

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
