AdamB Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Keith does them for around 2k as I've had words about them with him a while back Those ones are custom made by the same place that do their dogboxes. Imo it's a hefty price to pay just for a gimmick tbh, they are only really useful on a dogbox where you can bang them into gear without the fear of destroying the synchro's.

Hunty Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Here's the ikeya one from rossport http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=121222151594 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan walker Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 East coast customs can modify them to fit a starlet you will need to send them the ikeya unit and it will cost £1000 for 2 days labour.So if it takes them 2 days to do it i imagine its not as easy as first thought :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan walker Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Also by the time you buy the shifter and then pay for the modification your looking at 2k aanway so it seems thats the going rate for one unfortunately Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 cant be to hard mate the evo uses a h type like us its probly just the trow that need adjusting and 1000£ for 2 days work ???? jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez well pricey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan walker Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I thought the same like i wouldnt mind been on 500 a day ;) And found the shifters for 600 notes so i suppose that takes the price down a bit still 1600 though lol could do with finding a second hand one cheap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ECC will price it like that because its not a "usual" mode that everyone has done. If we were all rolling round with modified Ikeya shifters they wouldn't be able to charge such a price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan walker Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 So what are you suggestijg have a go at midifying one myself?Im thinking that surely the only reason for one not to work would be the throw i cant think of anything else that would be a hassle :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The problem is can you outlay the cost of one and possibly having butchered one? I believe they fit the floor close enough, maybe one of the bolt holes just needs elongating slightly. I guess there would be some modification to fit the cables but I can't say 100% as I've never seen one in a Starlet to know what exactly needs doing.If you can get hold of one cheap enough you can always try lay it up in the car and that will give you a better idea of what needs modifying, then if its too much or can't find someone to do it then sell it back on.

5e colin Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 if some1 sends me 1 i WILL get it to work for them :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'd start by just taking some measurements for the throw and movement between each gear in a stock evo and stock starlet and see how off they are. You can also get them For skylines and S body's so find out which is the closest to ours and order it. I Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'd certainly want to double check before paying out almost a Grand for the unit. No ones giving up the answer on how to make it work let alone the reasons why the evo unit was picked it could come down to availability or price per unit. EEC have a drag evo so its possible they choose that because they had one sitting around.I'd much rather research something that just assume because someone had done it one way that's the easiest/best way todo it.

AdamB Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's not just ECC that have used them before, guys over in Malta have used them and a couple other people that were over on TGTT many years ago, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan walker Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If one pops up cheap i recon ill be investing like. Its just finding one second hand though lol havenet seen any as of yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Whatever about the sequential shifter..Are Zisco the only guys who manufacture a dog box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zisco don't manufacture them, it's Rogers Garage/ The real tuners in Malta that manufacture them. You'll find them on facebook but they aren't really any cheaper than going through Zisco.

Faiyaz.123 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I don't know if my question has anything to do with a sequential shifter.But main thing want to ask is has anyone tried a dog box engagment which they use on roads instead of just track use? Beside the people who want to try it , I want to know does any one have it and what they experiences are bout it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beside the people who want to try it , I want to know does any one have it and what they experiences are bout it.They have been used but mainly in drag cars only. They have been used on the road but they are quite harsh. Certainly not recommended for a daily car and not needed unless your pushing 350 ft/lbs of torque plus.

Faiyaz.123 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thank you for the replies!So for the people who are and want to push from 300 to 400bhp on a street driven car have no option? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thank you for the replies!So for the people who are and want to push from 300 to 400bhp on a street driven car have no option? Only to become better at using the gearbox. Closer to 400bhp and above will be a problem though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
