    Hey Guys Thought I'd share a update - car is now parked up in garage as I await my items from Quaife to arrive. Few little updates to car as per pics. Also wanted to give kudos to Elvis on SAU - who sells the C/F copy items. They are of surprising excellent quality. My car currently has the genuine Garage Defend C/F Cooling Panel and the last pic is of Elvis's China copy - its as good as the genuine item - see for yourself (PS - I bought it as a spare Thanks for reading. Dan

    Thanks for your suggestion Ewan. I was only looking for a solution to speed up the repair process - but I think it will be best to just wait it out and get the manufacturer to make the parts. List of items needed to be re-made sent today. Thanks again to all those who offered advice.

    Well WA GEARS was a bust. Wont even waste my time explaining my experience with them - just don't bother. Well that's forced my hand - will order the parts I need from Quaiffe and wait. Car will be off the road for a while. Thanks guys

    Thanks Bob - much appreciated. I took my gears to WA GEARS today - spoke with them - left it with them - they will let me know by Friday if they can do it. If they can't - I will drop you kiwi brothers a email. If I have no luck - Ill order just order parts I need from Quaiffe and put that box aside and look at buying a OS88 - probably second hand. There's one on Gum Tree at the moment for 13k - Hoxton Park area. Fingers crossed WA GEARS know their sh*t and can do it. Thanks again Bob. Dan

    Hey Thanks for your reply. To explain; I have a 6 speed sequential Trust/Greddy box. When I collected the car after it arrived from Japan - there was always a issue with reverse. It just wouldn't hold - as you start to reverse it would pop out. The in Sept 16 - driving along casually - go to change gears - jams - stuck in second - no gears. Pull the box out - 1 to 6 all good. Reverse (all 3 parts), 2 shifter arms and selector rod all stuffed. Now the fun begins - dealing with Quaife. After waiting for a response and getting nothing - we have gone through one of their agents in NZ. Finally some correspondence. Selector Rod they have - all other parts to be made - when - they can't say. I am required to put in a order - and they will do it as a batch some time later - 3 months, 6 months, etc - no time frame given, So basically if I wait for them to make me 3 reverse gears - the car is off the road for a year - or I buy another box!! Regards Dan

    Cutting Gears Hey Does anyone know of a business in Aust that cut gears? I rang a number of engineering places in Perth today - but had no luck. Quick search on Google - i found these guys.......http://www.wagears.com.au/ After some back and forth they asked me to come in with the gears I want cut - which I'll do in the next day or so. Anyone have any experience in this / know of any shops that can do gear cutting? Thanks guys Dan
  13. IMACUL8
    Yes - as soon as Corey gives me my car back .......

    So the OS88 - are they all helical cut gears? I love the noise of my dog gears - will I lose that with a OS88? Where are OS88 made - japan? Having issues replacing the reverse gears in my Quaiffe/Trust 6 speed sequential - so may have to look at a replacement. Quaiffe have the reverse idler gear and cam selector operating arm - BUT - No selectors or reverse gears. Will have to be made I'm told - and that could be many months away i'm told. Quaiffe haven't been the quickest in responding / helping either. I'm shattered - I love this box - would love to fix it - but proving difficult it appears. Been busted up over it for the last day .....

    Happy New Year UPDATE The gearbox has been removed and inspected - verdict: requires 2 internal selector shafts, reverse gear and bearing and seals kit. Awaiting response from Quaife currently. Good news is 1 - 5 all OK. Some wear but in good condition. TRUST (Quaife) 6 Speed Sequential Dogbox, Farked Reverse, Broken Selector
