Have an OS Giken 1 - 5 box i bought off mayhem last year, just before Powercruise (October 2011). It was in the car approx 3 weeks before i busted it at Powercruise, driving like a numpty.

It's been sitting in my shed since as i went back to a standard box for the interim while i repaired the OS box, but the standard one has held up fine for 12 months & i have no incling to fix the one in my shed... So it's up for sale now. Suspected broken Lay Shaft, but i will confirm tonight once i crack it in half. If my suspitions are correct, it is an easy fix & the gears are all still good... It just doesn't currently have reverse or forward gears 1, 2, 3 & 5... Which is why i beleive it to be the shaft.

Wanting $1200 as is or $3k repaired. Open to offers though as i need some cash, so don't be scared to lowball.

Email/text/phonecall preferred as i wont be on here a whole lot in the near future.

Thought i'd update in here to save being asked the same questions over & over again...

I am in Perth, WA. Freight is not an issue provided you pay for it.

I got the box open to a point where i could see a few of the cogs & all seemed sweet. Couldn't pull the bellhousing any further forward that approx 1.5 inches due to something holding it back & my peanut sized brain not being able to work out exactly what. When i spin the input shaft it will spin freely for say 2 revolutions, then bind up & turn the gears slightly before spinning freely again. This confirms in my mind that it is a shaft that has sheered & when the pieces re-connect, it turns everything slightly before 'letting go' again.

I have 6 people all saying they definitely want it pending what i find when i finally manage to get it open fully. 3 of them are willing to pay my asking price (which is extremely generous), so i recant my statement above about "lowballers welcome" for now.

I will do my best to crack it completely early this week, but i have quite a lot on & can't commit to anything at this stage.

Soooooo, anyone care to share some info on how exactly to seperate the bellhousing completely? I have taken off the nosecone piece that houses the bearings & slides over the input shaft, taken off 3 x circlips (2 from around bearing case that sits on input shaft, 1 from the little shaft that pertrudes through bellhousing on top left), i have undone all bolts that connect bellhousing to box body (12 in total from memory) & i am now stuck with a 1.5" gap between bellhousing/box. Is there more than 3 circlips & i am missing one? Is there a secret nut/locking mechanism somewhere i am failing to recognise?? Am i not using a big enough hammer??? Haha

Cheers all.

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.

      What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      By PranK · Posted

      I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?

      RB26dett R33 gtst swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
