Nah man. Was ordered two months ago. I'm betting late February if delivery in Japan works well with the container it's being put in.

They both have taller ratios.

Assuming a 265/35x18 tyre and stock ratios and a rev limit of 8000 RPM the speeds are as follow

Stock

1st - 75

2nd - 120

3rd - 180

PPG Helical and straight cut dog

1st - 89

2nd - 143

3rd - 189

OS GIKEN

1st - 87

2nd - 138

3rd - 190

Is the os giken speeds that you have showed are they the correct speeds even with the close ratio gear set? I would have thought that the closer gear set would shorten at least gears 2,3,4 and 5? Ow btw are those figures for a 34 ? Or 32 gtr?

The OS GIKEN 5 speed is most definately taller than factory gearing. That is assuming 4.11's in the diffs. Gts4 ratios will shorten that by 7% iirc.

What's the setup?

It would make the gearing awfully short with the 4.11's. You'd be changing gears like an Evo. It isn't the cheapest conversion to do.

Like he said what's the set up?

Set up is an r34 gtr getrag 6spd gearbox fitted to a 32 gtr .. it's the whole box including everything needed to do the conversation

By setup I meant what's the engine/turbo combination.

Boobee. The reason I was asking turbo/engine combo is that (and this is my opinion only) the taller gears in the OS set make a lethargic bottom end of a 2.6 L engine and make it even more pronounced.

For example, a mate on here on a pretty decent R33 GTR put one in and ended pulling it out and going back to stock ratios. That was predominately a track car too. 2.6 with -9's and -5's at different points.

Just something to think about.

Bakemono. Cheers man :D. Be good to drive it again lol.

Oh the lols

only do the Getrag if you do the 3.545 diffs as well, 1st gear in my 34 is now and always was useless even when it was a 2.6 with -7s, so add 4.11s to that and you may as well stay with the 5 speed as you won't use first with the Getrag

I can't wait to see the difference between 4.11s and 3.545s with the two identical OS88s once put side by side :D

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
