How time flies

I stopped updating these forums a long time ago as it just takes too much time.
Every other year is not so bad though. The above turbo, meh, was ok, just did not produce the boost I wanted. Sorted that out with a Holset. Still restricted, Peaks at 3.4b absolute now. Makes around 580nm on pump fuel.

After running the Skyline box for many years I felt that the car was so much better than its gearbox, with such a short power band (restrictor chokes flow at 5500rpm) I really need a sequential. Same plan, its not a period car, I don't need period bits, I don't want to buy a £15k+ gearbox that I cannot get bits for (FFD).
After some research and a plan...

New gearbox project arrived. When is an auto not an auto?



Just got to make it fit



Little bit of CAD (Can't be arsed showing the Ford side)













All good fun. 7 Speed Sequential gearbox. 30-50ms gear changes with factory life.
