Liberty make transmissions for RB 25/26. basic unit is rated for 1500hp and next one up is 3000hp. Come in 3,4,5 speed and unlimited ratios. Clutchless. Prices are in USD but still seem way cheaper then any sequential. These things seem to be just about unbearable. Why isn’t any one using one in a GTR?

Supposedly those are drag-only and can only be shifted up. To go back down a gear requires going into neutral to reset the shifter then trying to rev-match your way into the desired gear.

Well I’ve sent them a message asking if the transmissions in question are streetable and what’s involved in fitting one. We will se what happens. I’m still surprised that none of the dedicated drag cars run them if they are a proven product in much much faster cars.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, they pop out of gear if you let go of the shifter. So yeah, hand off the shifter and your back in neutral. 

So no, not a streetable gearbox for this reason and all the other reasons listed above. 

With the way people have to fight the steering wheel in these cars to keep them straight, I’d hate to be having to do that with one hand because of not wanting to end up in neutral if I use both 

also if you miss a shift, it’s a rebuild and you need to cut a big portion of the floor out to get everything to fit

It's totally streetable. It's just that the streets are pretty short and have lots of concrete barriers, lights and a return road.

So applicable... if you live life [drive?] a quarter mile at a time.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
