Who are you guys going through? I got my os88 through Jesse streeter. Cost me a little over 15k delivered to my door that's option 3 ratio, angled shifter and adjustable clutch fork. That's with no tax paid but. Say if I valued the gearbox under $1000. I did have to wait 5 months for the box to get made( out if stock apparently) and the 4 days shipping for japan. If that's any help

$15K sounds about right for an option OS88 box. Did you also get the OS88 cross member?

I would try Ben from Otomoto, he is awesome when ordering from OSG as he is the Aussie Distributor. If I reall , Fatz got a great deal for us earlier on in this thread. It all depends on the AUD-YEN rate.

I am out as I am already sorted, Paul ;)

Yeah...I just missed out on a complete bolt in kit with option two box that had a very low kms on it. But got my hands on another one through Jesse Streeter.

I couldn't wait 4 or 5 months.

It gives 40mm better ground clearance. Will confirm if it fits BNR34 as I have seen conflicting information about that: RHD says it's for all 3 models; OSGiken's website doesn't speciify; and Otomoto says it's for R32 and R33.

Let me know if you need one, Jim.

Paul, I already have a Direct Clutch billet twin plate, so just changing the plates to suit the 26 spline Holinger shaft of the OS88.

None of those sites have it in stock...it's all ex-OSG Japan.

Apparently, one of the companies that makes some of the smaller bits (such as the forks) for OSG went under so they can no longer supply it.

Try some other sites and you never know your luck :)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
