sure did.............

you guys would have pissed yourselves at me on the friday at powercruise.... after arriving at the camp site i popped the bonnet to check fluids etc, and realised the starter motor was hanging by 2 or so threads of one bolt (because the thread pitch on the gearbox i changed on the wednesday night at the gate was different)..... so i tied the starter down with some rope so i could do the first cruise session,,,,,,, funny as fuck...... gotta see if some one got a pic of it. then i went and got a heli kit and fixed it up.

i looked into getting a brand new genuine nissan gear set (one that i know hasent been flogged by 17 yo P platers over the past 25 years), but there are none in existance any more...... only thing you can by NOS is the input shaft and cluster shaft, which total over $1400.

i heard the N13 option isnt real good for drag use coz of the ratios? spose it wont hurt to give it a go aye..........

took my diff to diff lappers today to get locked up too, should get that back by friday..........

any one else got opinions on the N13 internals idea. my main concern is the 300hp its gonna be trying to put to the ground in a few months time

Don't bother with new N12 gear, go straight for the N13, they are stronger! N13's weigh a good 150kg more than the N12 and had a LSD as an option, they would have had to be stronger.

As for the ratio's, you'll be crossing the line near on 6k in 4th, all good.

Mines taken near on 300 engine hp for a fair while and NEVER had a prob. Mind you, thats without a locker!

yeah thats gonna be my next thing to do, i got one more good N12 gear set left, im gonna wack them in with the locker and see how it goes.....

also i heard you can not use the N13 lsd as it is physicaly larger in size and will not fit in the housing......

Yea, the N13 LSD won't fit! BUGGER.

Video looks pretty cool, from the look there might have been a couple of disappointed holdens there.

I dred to think how much a brand new genuine gearset would cost if you went that way.

I think the biggest difference between the gearsets is probably the final drive. 4.17 or 18 from memory it will take a bit of load off.
