WTB: Broken 6 speed gearbox

[craig8585]

Internal condition is not a big worry as long as the casing is good. Looking for a complete and assembled box as I want to learn a bit while dismantling and rebuild with an aftermarket gearset.

Craig - can you build me one with uprated gearset once you've done this lol... CJ Tuning haha

Cheers for the PM Saqi, just replying now.

Haha, I like it mate! Well I've got enough parts at home to open a shop I think! The gearset is going to cost about £2500 but it looks immense. I've been e-mailing the company in Australia and he has been giving me details. I'm tempted to go for a straight cut setup as it is mere efficient and virtually eliminates axial loads on the shafts. The Helical setup runs reduced angle helix's which reduces axial shaft loads too, but i love the noise of straight cut gears. Obviously it would get a bit tiresome in a daily driver but with the amount I use the S15 it really wouldn't bother me at all.

PPG gearset ?...awesome

Want to arrange a swap Craig? Lol

Jez I was thinking same thing too I think I was quoted much more for PPG entry dog gearset £3k plus IIRC but maybe this is Apex Performance charging a markup rather than dealing direct like yourself.

So basically it's a 6 speed gearset that fits in the S15 box? Or a 5 speed set that re-uses the stock 6th gear??


Once you've done this I'd happily source another S15 box, buy the same gearset and pay you to help me build up this box. Even though mines a daily driver I'd love the straight cut (cos I'm mad like that haha) and I gotta get the least amount of transmission loss otherwise won't see this as a worthy exercise

No, not PPG. I was thinking of one of these but have not fully decided yet but have lots of time to choose.

They are rated to 650bhp and come with a 12-month warranty.

Not just yet mate unfortunatly. I've not messed about with gearboxes much before so this will be a learning process that may go wrong! If all goes to plan I'll hav 2 standard boxes for sale though, but not for a while yet.

No need to pay me, I'll do mates rates!

The 6th gear is stated as optional on the website so I assume it is at extra cost. I'll definatly get it though and shorten the ratio slightly so it isnt such a big drop from 5th to 6th.

this gear box will end up costing in the region of £4-5K as you would need to pay the GST which is vat equivalant and pay the uk VAT And duty and also the shipping cost.... correct me if am wrong..

cheers

 

[craig8585]

I don't think you have to pay GST if the item is being purchased internationally..?

But yeah, there will be shipping and UK tax to pay on top. I'll try to reduce this as much as possible though.

 

[craig8585]

Still looking for a box if anybody has one

 

[meddler]

pay me the shipping and I will deliver it

 

[craig8585]

Haha, sounds like a deal

Do you know anything about the GST rules in Aus? Would I have to pay it as I'd be having them sent outside the country?

 

[meddler]

I don't believe you pay the GST

 

[craig8585]

Phew, that good news then!
