no nick, i am genuinley interested to see this case.
Hi guys.
I know that everybody have been waited a long time for this pictures.
Please excuse the quality of the pictures....they are not made by me.
Also I want to make a correction of a huge mistake..........the gearcase is not cast iron it's CAST STAINLESS STEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like it's going to need a lot of cleaning up before it can be used, And what makes cast stainless stronger than the alloy version then. I'd of thought it would be more brittle.
Either way you can't solve the real problem which is you're trying to shunt all that power sideways instead of backwards in a straight line and is the reason you'll never compete with a skyline or a proper rear wheel drive car.
But fair play for trying to solve the problem and actually making a casing rather than just talking about it.
I hope it works I really do.

They never said,
Have to contact them and get prices etc.
The price for the above product is ''The price will be around 2100 EUROS (not pounds) without paypal fees and postage''
And by the way......the gear case which PPG is selling is the same gear case as this one, because the guy which owns the Sunny sedan from the below vid made the gear case and spoke with the guys from PPG so that they can sell a complete gearbox.
I don't want to make negative adverstising I am just talkig facts.
I think that it's very strong since it's holding on approx. 1000 BHP from this car:

good work sunny :_)
cast steel is better than cast iron, and steel better than alu.
just for general fyi (though there are other factors!)
Steel generally has yield strengths ranging from 30,000 - 150,000 psi, and ultimate strengths ranging from 50,000 - 200,000 psi.
Aluminum generally has yield strengths ranging from 15,000 - 70,000 psi, and ultimate strengths ranging from 30,000 - 90,000 psi.
So, there is some overlap, but in general, steel is stronger.
Aluminum in general is a third as light and half as strong as steel, or the inverse, steel is twice as strong but three times as heavy. It is also softer and more prone to fail over less deflection.

There's a whole shed load of alloys that fill the gap between iron and alluminium; plus there's the working you can do on them to change the structure of the final material. - If you select the right one, it can be both stronger and lighter.
Anyway, before everyone gets carried away I'm going to repeat what I said on the first page; no group buys without admin aproval, and no selling by non-members. I'm not suggesting that there's any issue in this case, but those are the rules you agreed to when you signed-up.

No offence. - Equally I don't want it to seem like the club is being difficult for no reason; I can't see any reason why you wouldn't get the green light, but there's more than just me.

interested
So, does it get your rubber stamp or can you spot some problems? - I appreciate that you might be a little cagey about giving away all your secrets for nothing, but usually you're pretty quick to point-out when something definitely isn't going to work.
