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 :)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
