Quaife has realigned its market leading in-line high performance transmissions, collating complimentary products from its range to create a portfolio of car specific sequential gearbox packages for several popular Japanese applications including the Honda S2000, Mazda MX-5 (NA/NB,) Nissan Silvia SR20DE T and the Toyota 1JZ / 2JZ Supra. A complete drop-in package for the Nissan 350Z is also available ex-stock.
Quaife’s in-line sequential gearbox packages include the QBE60G or QBE69G transmission itself, plus the car specific bellhousing, input shaft and gearlever, enabling easy installation into these popular Japanese machines with the minimum level of modifications required.
Rated to 375 bhp and 750 bhp respectively, both the QBE60G and QBE69G units have been well proven in Time Attack (HEL Performance S2000,) and drifting (numerous Japspeed cars including Shane Lynch’s) and are ideally suited to the demands of fast road, track day and circuit racing use, transforming performance with ultra-rapid gearshifts and excellent reliability.
The Quaife QBE60G heavy duty in-line 6-speed RWD sequential gearbox has become a market leader in this sector since its launch in 2008, with nearly 1000 units being sold to date, while the ‘extra heavy duty’ QBE69G is a success globally, being used as the control transmission in the New Zealand V8 Super Tourer championship.
QBE60G and QBE69G feature modular gear clusters, allowing easier interchangeability of gear ratios and fewer moving parts, while a drum type sequential gearchange system is allied to an open face dog design on both gear and drive disc. This produces a positive, ultra-fast gearshift on both the ‘60G’ and the ‘69G’ – a Quaife approved ‘intelligent’ semi-automatic paddle shift is also available as is an optional LED digital gear position indicator.
Free running gears are supported by needle roller bearings to ensure a robust geartrain, while a wide choice of ratios, direct drive and overdrive options and numerous gear lever mounting positions allow customers a wide scope for optimising both the ‘60G’ and the ‘69G’ to suit their individual requirements.
Both helical and straight-cut (spur) gears are available on the QBE60G and the QBE69G transmissions. The former enables the QBE60G to appeal to ‘fast road’ customers where gear noise is a critical issue, allowing their use in daily drivers if required.
