Jerico Gearboxes

[Simon-S14]

Hey guys... looking into a stronger alternative gearbox for my drift car and someone mentioned jerico boxes. I did a bit of searching on them and it seems they fit the bill.. strong, light, dog engagement and best of all cost effective. Has anyone done the swap and if so whats involved? i realise a lot of custom work will be required but i can do all that.

Well they are just a fancy dogbox toploader mate, so whatever that takes, i had one for a street rotary,

i thought about putting it in my R31, but it would smash borgys and tailshafts drag racing

, so sold it and went powerglide

cheers

yeah i know they are basically a toploader box. but at the same time it fits the bill... dog engagement, strong and light.

i'll be drifting not drag racing

Jericos aren't a bad thing.

The 4 speed is the controlled box for the new Zealand touring car category & for the v8 Dubai series as well. In the dubai series they run an external sequential shifter that is similar to the ikea shifters, Aussie designed and built too.

They have Massive ratio range and their service is rather good.

[Simon-S14]

Sounds good. Those sequential shifters are only 880 bucks too

Next question is how do I get my hands on one

[Risking]

Are you after a 4 or 5 speed.

I've got a couple of the nz touring car 4 speeds that were removed for hollinger upgrades.

5 speed best to buy from jerico USA. They are extremely helpful and can be contacted by phone

Any chance these can be made to work on a GTR, Brad? And would they be worth it?

If someone has some good pictures of the back of one of their 5-speeds would be worth a look.

Say if you blew up a R34 gtt gb and had to do a clutch change at the time would it be safe to assume that one of these would be a good thing to swap into it? Ie would it be cheaper to convert to one of these box's with a normal style clutch?

[Simon-S14]

i just priced one up... about 4K

looking pretty cost effective. track only option tho you wouldnt put one in a street car

[1400r]

4k wow time for ppg sponsorship Simon

[Simon-S14]

ppg box is about 8-9 k

i rather walk then use a PPG box

Renegade don't do a shifter for the r33.

They don't do one for the 5 speed Jerico either last time I spoke with them about converting one of the touring cars over

They were working on a 6 speed tremec shifter though.

[Risking]

You won't get one behind a GTR. You've got to remember they are essentially an old top loader box with straight cut dog engagement arrangement. They use a pissy extension housing and external selector linkages.

These are in no way comparable to a top shelf PPG or hollinger H pattern box.
