Just a question and please don't take offence, but I get the feeling it more of a Fashion thing than a Quick gear-change....

The hole point of a Seq Shifting gearbox is to have Dog engagement so it's faster, Seq on Syncro's is kind of missing the point is it not ??

and I bet by the time you have bought a good Porsche gearbox and then the Seq ster you could have bought one of these.....

With Clive on this......a very nice Gizmo but only really for very quick gear selection, once moving should work without much clutch!

Hey Grasser

You just don't get it do you ???

I am sick of your blatant advertising on the forum.

Get it over to the Classifieds.

Moderator - when are you going to do something about this guy ???

To be honest I'm glad he posts some of the stuff and in fairness it is a relevant post.
Sure it's close to the accepted norm and probably transcends what's technically allowed but hey, we're a small group of people who do have an interest in this sort of stuff.
Personally I've put that grasser gearbox in the back of my mind for when I win lotto....

I'd also have to say some of the most interesting and relevant things I've learnt recently have been on threads that Grasser has participated and added a lot of valuable opinion. He is out there racing the GTR and as such probably has more real life experience than most, so I'm all ears.

I'm seriously looking at a sequential to 'H' shifter option as I'm tired of my current manual shifter not cutting it and as a central shifter (LHD car) it's too far a reach anyway. If someone puts up a link to a manufacturer or a direct sale what's the difference at the end of the day? They both draw attention to viable (well within $$ limitations) options for me, so I'm cool with it.

The thread on aerodynamics and diffussers was another one where I learnt a lot, keep the conversation flowing.....

Hey - I don't want to make this into any big thing - and maybe I was a bit strong with my previous comment, but I thought we weren't allowed to advertise in the forum...if we are, that's great, because it's much quicker and easier than the Classifieds , and you can wait for the thread to be relevant to the stuff you are looking to sell, and then BANG ,you whack it right in there

I too find his comments interesting and informative - as I said a while ago when there was some blatant advertising, not-too-subtly inserted into a thread, and I remarked on it at the time.

What I said then, and I will repeat it, was that it was a pity he had not found any time to post ONE comment in the almost 4 years he had been a member of the forum BEFORE he started to advertise his services.

Hey - I've got nothing against Grasser - I don't know the guy - but let's just have some clarification about what constitutes advertising shall we ?

Making reference to the fact that you have placed an advertisement in the Classifieds is not advertising IMO - whereas describing something in full detail with explicit pricing information within a thread, surely is (again, IMO)

Is there is one rule for people who are posting "interesting and informative" information, and one rule for the rest ?

Soap Box mode OFF

Moderator - please can you give some guidance ?

Thanks you very much

Bit of a grey area, if the factory posted a video link to their latest record, is that not advertising too?

Yes - maybe it is ...

That's why I am asking for clarification.

I agree but in this case and when the factory annonces that kind of news on the Ultima forum, it should be seen as information, public relations not advertising IMO.

Hasnt canam Dave fitted a sequential shifter onto his car???

Dom

He has indeed!

This is the system I have fitted to my car.

http://www.sqsracing.com/produkt/277:363:sqs-seque...

It is fully fitted and has been tested on the drive but due to lack of MOT and twelve points on my licence I have yet to test it on the road.

I will have the MOT done in March and begin the road testing then.

As for the transmission that Clive has mentioned by Elite it will not work with a SBC or LS in an Ultima chassis. It may fit in your chassis Clive but I was going down that route until I did all the measurements and realised it would not fit. It has been used with the Audi V8 by Tecnocars.

The sequential changer listed by Oakley is the same as mine and is made by SQS racing.

I believe it is the same system installed by UltimaCZ in his LS7 powered GTR.
