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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
