Well when we showed you loyal readers the photographs of the PPG (Pfitzner Performance Gearbox) first gear set for the Nissan R35 GT-R’s GR6 dual-clutch transmission back in December 2008 we began holding our breath and waiting for them to reach the hands of customers and workshops. Today we can breath again as the first deliveries are made.

PPG has delivered their first sets to some big names in the GT-R world. The set here belongs to Titan Motorsports but we know of at least one other set that is in the hands of an end user right now too.

This set here is ending up in John from Samurai Speed’s gearbox, you’ll remember John from previous posts when he ran the fastest 1/4 mile time seen in a GT-R so far then famously lunched his first gear on video.

These first gear sets not only offer a viable replacement option for any first gear “issues” some owners may have but and also wider than standard to offer more strength and surface area on the teeth.

This is great news and we’re eagerly awaiting some results after seeing them fit up.

Thanks to Chuck @ NAGTROC for the heads up.
