The parts (and hence invested dollars) are there...they just don't have the boxes assembled until an order is put through...
-
The Australian distributor is selling them for $16,190.
Some members around here can get trade discounts, too.
-
If I sell off my unneeded parts at the swap meet on Sunday...I am sure I can "self finance" it
-
It's tough enough to pay the $17K upfront for the box, and then wait 2-3 months before you get it....
Financing it....no chance.
I prefer to pay and get what you pay for right away. Unless the distributor can do a payment plan
-
It's all good, Paul. I was sold on the OS88 before. I like the fact that it is helical and quiet.
Does Bobby have the direct shifter kit also?
Let the group buy begin
-
yeah.....missed it on my phone. Yes, confusing with the unnecessary cut and pasting from the OS website.
Hmmmm....very tempting.
-
For the speed calculations, I used the spreadsheet from that UK GTR thread link you posted.
-
I'm liking the Option 2 ratios. Can always go to 4.375 diffs if needed.
Should have come past my place Paul...would have liked to see the OS88 first hand.
-
-
Does this have the standard ratios or optional?
-
So did the managers both deny that the gearbox was repaired or replaced?
-
I might just end up keeping this if no serious buyers take this off my hands in the next few weeks...
-
I assume you would have to push the clutch then shift down 4 times in succession quickly...
-
OS88 incar vids not loading...
-
should be 2876@110 with stock size GTR tyres. 2762 with my huge rubber.

6th on the trust is 2700@110

I hit 210 at eastern creek during Powercruise top of 4th gear
-
Don't have to use the R3C clutch...other options out there.
Good comparison, Paul. (Similar to what I had/have on a spreadsheet).
I also like the option 2 OS88 ratios. However, the "UK-spec" ratios are even better:
2.9966 (92kph)
2.05 0 (114kph)
1.521 (135kph)
1.210 (183kph)
1.000 (229kph)
0.784 (278kph)

Standard ratios are:
1st 2.609
2nd 1.934
3rd 1.521
4th 1.210
5th 1.000
6th 0.852Optional ratios are extra $$ and are:
Option 1: 2.609, 1.934, 1.521, 1.210, 1.000, 0.785
Option 2: 2.890, 1.981, 1.468, 1.174, 1.000, 0.757
Option 3: 2.516, 1.865, 1.468, 1.174, 1.000, 0.822 -
26 spline input (Holinger)
-
Oli, I may have missed it, but how do you know that the gearbox wasn't replaced or repaired?
Dealership could easily have bought a new box and replaced it for under $10K then sold it.
-
lol fatz.
I think the OS88 spline is different also. Can anyone confirm?
-
The price was similar to what Marcus quoted if you take into account addition of freight, taxes etc and then clutch ontop of that. (Approx $16K +/- dependent on forex rates). Good thing is that it is through the Aus distributor
I just don't like the wait time lolForex has improved so should be cheaper now.
I just don't like the wait time lol
