I'm from Brisbane Qld, sorry for the question as I haven't read my os giken booklet. But once you engage reverse by pulling the lever up do you have to put the lever up again to go back to neutral or do you just push the lever down as you would when engage the next gears?

From reverse you still have to hold up to neutral. From neutral you just pull back for first.

It definitely changes the car from the tall geared OS 5 speed that I had in it. "Woke it up" as such.

You don't need to run the OS clutches, but it takes out one less headache when putting it all together. I looked into trying to salvage the coppermix as they really are THE clutch to have in a road going GTR. (Mine was in there since 2005 with no service/rebuild at all). It was all too hard. For starters the coppermix was a pull type, this box only has the bosses for a push type, then there was the bigger input shaft issue. The R3C is awesome, much better than expected and NOT how I remember the R3C in other cars I've driven. The pickup/friction point is quite low compared to the Coppermix which takes a bit of time to get used to. Apparently this is the new type. What they have changed, I'm not sure.

You will need to supply your own transfer case.

There are 4 gear options available. I went option 2. Assuming a 265/35x18 tyre and spinning to 8000 rpm each gear will go to

82

118

160

200

234 (same as stock as its 1:1)

310 (same as a factory 5 speed as its 0.757)

You're basically slotting an extra gear in before the 4th gear in a factory 5 speed box. If that makes sense.

With the box, I bought;

Box itself

Modified cross member

Bent shifter

Clutch

Release bearing

Clutch aligning tool

There is a bit of crashing and banging at low rpm, but that's just me not getting the timing 100%. I've only driven 60 kms or so with it so still very much a noob. Up high and drive it like its stolen, smooth as silk. Just slides into the next gear, you don't feel anything through the shifter. As quickly as you can pull back on the gear stick its in. I've found preloading the stick before you lift seems to work well too. I'm still clutching in ATM but as time goes on I'm sure I'll be able to do the no clutch/ lift throttle technique. I'm obviously not tuning a strain gauge - yet. I wouldn't like to daily drive it but for a weekend car it's great!

Thanks a ton. This post will help a lot of other crazy people like us!

Marcus!

It will happen, just a case of when.

Have you changed your number? I rang you a few weeks ago.

Got a gold mine lease so away a lot digging holes, blowing crap up.

Give us a tingle when you get the chance, boss.

Will do champ..bit crazy at the mo but asap.

Lol that's awesome Marcus! Just gotta try stay sober now

Why ?? Alcohol and explosives.. what more can you ask for ..cracker night on steroids !! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Have been a little quiet here lately. This fuel gunk issue has really given me the shits. The baskets in the injectors kept filling up so in the end I decided to rip them out for the journey to Richmond where the next round of goodies are going on.

EFR 8374 1.05 ass end. See you later -5's, you have served well.

6 boost twin scroll manifold. 38 mm Tial gates will be used. Still waiting on those guys.

In light of this fuel issue, I've gone mega overkill. Ordered three of these Fuelab filters. A single 75 micron filter pre surge tank with twin 6 micron filters post pump. I'm going to "Y" it and run the filters in parallel seeing that the filtration is so fine. A set of stainless steel internal 1700's will be going in instead of the 2000's.

EFR speed sensor. It will be Intersting to see what speeds the snail is spinning.

1B01DFC0-5BF8-4716-838B-89DBA1D985BA_zps

Display for the sensor.

Holley Dominator 1800 fuel pump has been purchased and getting rid of these 044's. A new stainless surge tank will be made and will live in the boot.

All intake, exhaust, surge tank fabrication will be done by Mick_O.

Some Nismo diff bushes have been bought also. I have solid alloy ones in there ATM and they're bloody horrible.

A catch can has to be made for the OS88. It just spews oil out of the breather when giving it some on left hand corners. Poor form OS!!!

The secrets out the bag now big dawg EFR FTW!!! Really can't wait to finish that EFR setup on that shitbox evo of mine and get into this thing :)

So you are having issues with corn juice and file system, so you decide to change turbo package. Don't you like driving this thing?

How long does a turbo swap take? It's not the end of the world.

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
