The Trust box is good. It is built in the U.K!

You can pick faults in any of the gearboxes, and every single option for a GT-R has a myriad of failure stories. I think it all comes down to budget, all of them seem to occupy a price range seperate to the others..

Cheapest to dearest of bolt in solutions:

1/OS Gearset

2/ Pfitzner gearset

3/ Trust H pattern

4/ Pfitzner H pattern

5/ HKS H pattern

6/ Trust sequential

7/ OS sequential

8/ Hollinger seq and H pattern

Somewhere in there is the HKS sequential and air shifted boxes, but due to the nature of them (have to be sent back to Japan to be fixed by HKS) I don't think they are really an option. Same with their H pattern box. All of the other boxes can get parts purchased for repairs or updates.

Hollinger are fantastic

My mate is running a full Holinger dog box in his 600hp rex and this handling it nicely. No dramas at all.

No cheap - but quality.

Cheapest to the dearest , that being the Hollinger the dearest ?

OK forget costs, what about best reliability and best rep for the money.

best rep for the money would have to be hollinger. especially as they are made in aus you have their tech guys here, in Aus.

Last time I priced a Hollinger it was $23k with seq shifter. But I mean, really - that's a whole new car for that price!

$23 k Nah that's to serious for me , makes a 2 speed auto look nicer all the time.

Still concidering the trust box , not sure?

There's guys cruising around in the land of the rising sun running 9's with the trust box!

I suppose u just gotta be smart about the way u use it, they're tuff, like all the box's listed, but treat any with maximum aggresion and you'll be towing ur ride home, crying....

[Guest Mashrock]

my trust box broke. but saying this i dont know how it was treated in japan..

i would definatley get one again but. its being a bit of a pain tracking down parts at the moment. as its built by quaife in the uk..

mind you my version is very out of date..

spoke to John Munro a while ago, things about how his street and race GTR going.

I remeber he mention the trust was "shit", pain in the arse to drive in the traffic and not strong enough.

He ditch the Hollinger in his race car and using a OS sequential from Keir Wilson.

Didn't ask why but it might indicate how good the OS is?

and i "think" he is using Pfitzner H pattern in his 4xxawkw street GTR

[R31Nismoid]

how much power are you making?

or intending to?

setup etc etc?

[Cefiro_PWA]

The purple genuin 9 sec GT-R in japan from the HPI V5 DVD runs the trust box .. genuine 9 sec car all day all night :boohoo:

[Beer Baron]

Possibly if the hollinger is too much look at the new HKS sequential versions. they had some on display at this years tokyo autosalon and they looked pretty serious. again they wont be cheap, but i imagine half the price of a hollinger...

I have heard a few people bitch about the trust boxes.

Is that your mates car?

[Ryan1200]

go the ppg dog box then use a sequential shifter made by www.ikeya-f.co.jp. U can really take advantage of cluthless gear changes then.

[Beer Baron]

that ikeya shifter would have to be the biggest waste of money i have every seen. costs over $1500 and is just as slow or slower than just using your hand to shift through and H pattern. can you tell i'm not a fan...lol. seriously though, it's a waste of money.

[Roy]

That sequential thing is a waste of time...and it doesnt allow clutchless changes by itself, thats more the box the the shifter...

[Ryan1200]

ppg dog boxes allow cluthless gear changes according to ppg. the good thing about the seq shifters if setup correctly no missed gear changes which can be costly.
