It certainly does. 

Quaife - Holy Sh*t what a experience !!! 

So as above I bit the bullet and ordered all the parts I needed - this was late Jan/early Feb. Couple minor items were on the shelf - but gears, selectors, new input shaft (they said they had a updated better version so I ordered that as well) would need to be made - as its not a production box anymore - I would have to wait for them to do between regular production.

Here we are 10 months later - still nothing!  Been told for last couple months my stuff was ready - but I've seen nothing!  Not sure its if Quaife or there agent we're dealing with in NZ who arranged it all - or a combination of both!

Im just really now starting to want to drive the car again - so its really starting to get to me.........

Once the box is back together (hopefully ;) ) - I will order all new gears 1 - 6 , some selectors, another input shaft and put them away - that way I have a rebuild kit for later / spares on hand.

Eventually one day - Holinger...   but for now I'm sticking to the Quaife (Greddy) - if they ever come through ....

For those interested in an OS88, here is the oiling issue that needs to be rectified before you put it in the car. 
The little slot where the light is coming through is the breather for the box. There is no cover for it and the gear acts like a paddle wheel and pumps oil up the hole and through the hose. So a cover will be made to stop this.
The oil breather fitting also needs to be drilled and tapped. My fitting popped out once it got in the car. OS must use clag glue to secure the fitting... it doesn't last.
I am also changing the sensor that lives in the bell housing.

so now that I got my os88, can you share how you went about modifying this breather?

Just finished an Albins install in a R32 GTR

Lots of work needs to be done in the tunnel, plus remote mounting the oil filter, shifter etc.

It is for a track only car.

The holinger is lighter and an easier fitment but the downside is that they have helical cut gears, no oil pump system and the sequential system doesn't use a barrel for shifting

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
