OS Giken helical gearset in your existing case.
The only thing to consider is if you want a 1 to 3 set or a 1 to 5, the aftermarket option for 5th is less tall than the standard, so you pull about 3200 @ 100 k instead of 3000 @ 100 k.
In reatlity all that means is with the different 5th gear you cant do 300kph anymore and it revs slightly harder at cruising speed.
Unless you can pull 9600 in top ....
I cant.
I paid 3400 NZD for my 1 to 5th kit including massive input shaft.
Including new bearings etc: and fitting to the car was about 5000 NZD
A cheap bullet proof quiet gearbox that will take 700hp all day and has nice ratio's.
