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 ....

To make it harder, PPG have a sequential soon and Albins seems to be gaining popularity.

Having purchased and installed an OS88 last year, it really isn't that crazy out on the street. I chose the 88 for a few reasons. Helical cut gears. It's no noiser in gear than a stock box. It bolt

Yeh I know that's the only issue, how long did they really last. Even a Hollinger will do 8's easy but won't take too many launches before issues. I'm starting to think the TH400 is the way to go, app

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

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...

      Rear hub bolt torque r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
