What weight is a 4wd box ?
Going to phone round some couriers to get a delivery price later today.

Paisley freight deliver a gearbox anywhere for £36 I think mate, there is even a gearbox buy it now delivery price. Google them and after a lot of searching you won't get cheaper. That's also overnight delivery from one end of country to other if need be

A Skyline gearbox is 40kg heavier, so an mt75 is`t so bad in weight

Yes, Martin Hadland (Reyland) make coversion whit this. A mate of mine bought one used skyline box, but when we checked the weight, then he post it for sale the day after.

Dam paisley freight has a 40kg limit for boxes, will just chance it as im sure i have sent a box with them before. Looks like I will have another new part to fit soon

my ffd box weighs 70kilos

[WENNY]

ye whats 9.5 kilos lol

[neil a]

Totaly Wenny there delivery driver need to man up, I mind carrying my old R&D box up the 2 flights of stairs to my mums house.

[Sunnysidebb]

So what sort of power will the Skyline box take and why isn't it used more often in the big power ESCOS. Must be quieter than a SC box as well
Back in the day that would have been the ultimate box for the road had it been possible.

I think the standard box will take around 500 bhp safely and the kit that Martin runs is rated to 1000 bhp. I think the reason it isnt used more is the work needed to fit the box as the floor/tunnel needs mods aswell as a custom cast or cut and shut bell housing.

I've sent a few gearboxes and rough price was £70-£90 depending what mood my courier was in that's UKMail who are complete shit but I know the drop off driver round my way and he looks after my stuff and if I'm not home will drop them to my Mrs' or work address with no problem

All other delivery drivers round my way drop parcels and kick them, which I've seen done with boxes at work so don't trust them with personal items
