What are you guys planning a group buy for exactly?

[Piggaz]

Os88's.

Looks like there is only two of us ready to buy ATM. Order will be placed this week.

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

[NXTIME]

$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

[Piggaz]

No problem, Charlie.

Looks like it's just Micky and myself.

What did you find? Something off yahoo?

[NXTIME]

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.

[Jimhoo1334]

Will the os crossmember fit on a bnr34?

[NXTIME]

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.

[NXTIME]

Yes, the OS88 cross member is for all 32-34 GTR's.

[Jimhoo1334]

Cheers mate. I will be getting one soon then

[Piggaz]

What are you doing for a clutch, Charlie?

[NXTIME]

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.

[Piggaz]

That's fair.

Did you get the OS fork?

[NXTIME]

They don't make them anymore...have to use a stock one.

[Jimhoo1334]

Yeah mate I want one. I will pm you

[Piggaz]

It's still listed on the OS site as an optional extra.

[Jimhoo1334]

I got one, that was about a year ago but

[NXTIME]

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
