Ledge Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hello people, After the weekend of motorsport it has come apparent to me that my stock standard RB25 turbo Gearbox is not going to take the 700hp i keep throwing at it. So what i am after is options for the future. Must be 6 sped sequential, dog , 1 overdrive. Now i have sent emails of to: Holinger : 22k sequential dog box, 6 speed, NEW : Will cost around 2K to convert ex supercar box to fit behind RB Albins : 26k sequential transaxle is all they can offer apparently. Modena : 18k MV8S 6 speed, not a bad looking thing, remote shifter, bolt on. NEW PPG : Brushed me aside, said there Helical set should be fine. Quaife : QBE69G around 14K landed OS giken : 14k they have the OS 88, gtr box and have been told with mods to rear housing it can work 2wd no probs. Anyone confirm this ? Tractive RD90 : Around 17G landed TTI : 13G landed Japan : Can get OS etc for same costs as us here, Can get quaife for 9000 If you guys can think of any others please let me know Cheers in advance lads Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledge Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi Benny ppg one is for gtr and to pricey for what it is Holingers is sold already Cheers Lurchy, good to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvemfast Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've heard nothing but bad things about Albins gearboxes. Apparently V8 Supercar teams are bashing down the doors at Holinger, begging them to make a box for them. But they are not approved to supply........... Yet!

Agno Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The problem with the Albins transaxles in the V8 Supercars is that they are running lockers, something the transmission wasn't designed to do. When they switch to proper LSDs midway through the season the transmissions will supposedly improve in reliability. Also the Albins transaxle is a brand new unit, with low cost and low mass in mind. It was never going to be as stout as a Hollinger 6 speed with 10+ years development behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZeder Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I have asked on the ZClub NZ site see http://zclub.org.nz/viewtopic.php?p=26254 I will also ask on a motorbike site for feedback on the bike boxes as that might give us a bit if clue too.

NZeder Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Right the bike forum I am on here in NZ - nothing but good things to say about their boxes. They have been around for a long time making bike boxes for TT racers. Nothing from the z forum yet - as I was expecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nat0_240_chevZ Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 might know where one of kias old boxes is living now....... ill ask about, i do remember one holing'r available recently, but had no reason to ask, as the price tag is beyond my requirement. nat0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The TTI (TT Industries) 6 speed sequential units are fitted as a control transmission to the NZV8 - it gets a bit complex here in NZ as we have the NZV8 and the NZ SuperTourers which is a break away group from the NZV8 the cars are different, the rules are different and they are a mix between the Oz V8 Supercars Both are using a "car of the future" type design where just about any panel can be changed to make a Ford or Holden or Nissan etc. However the NZST (supertourers) have a control engine/gearbox - well the whole car really so a Ford is powered by the same Chev engine as the Holden etc. The NZV8 are different as they have a Ford 4 valve engine at 5.0l all alloy and the Holden has a GM engine 6.7l all alloy but 2 valve both making around the same HP 480 that is. So maybe track down one of the NZV8 team (only 5 or 8 cars I think - most moved to the NZST as the NZV8 cars were not getting built quick enough or whatever it got all political and who really cares all just taxi's racing anyway - I like to see all kinds of Marques racing in real cars that you can purchase not kit cars that will never been sold the public..but that is just me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
