When did OS Giken start making parts for the KA? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SimpleS14 · 05-18-2005, 11:35 PM

Someone linked me to this site: http://www.jtuned.com/content/templa...d=262&zoneid=1 and I was surprised to see that OS Giken makes KA internals and an exhaust manifold (am also thinking a FMIC kit). I'm guessing this might have been out for awhile....but since when? and does anyone else have more info about this?

I wonder what the manifold design looks like and how much $$$$$ that setup runs.

IGSDann · 05-18-2005, 11:42 PM

That is the pimpest looking KAT I have ever seen... I want those parts but I'm sure they cost a loooottt... Still wicked hawt though....

SilviaDriver · 05-18-2005, 11:47 PM

when? when Non decided to build this car

yes its a KA-T

that180guy · 05-18-2005, 11:53 PM

Non Fujita is THE OG

!!!!!!

boost infested · 05-18-2005, 11:59 PM

i saw that a few days ago and i was like wtf!?!

***S14DB*** · 05-19-2005, 12:06 AM

That engine has been at TAS and SEMA. I think it made the rounds in 2002.

Brian · 05-19-2005, 12:37 AM

yeah talk to Non. he does all the OS stuff here.
I think i might end up getting a clutch from him.

Buffalo Daughter · 05-19-2005, 01:02 AM

i am soooo getting those piston, rods and head gasket!! I'm gonna port an extra head and do a 5 angle valve job to it too soon so it'll be ready to boost!!! My motivation on a KA-T has been rejuvinated!!!!

infinitexsound · 05-19-2005, 01:48 AM

sweet, motor is a bad ass.........

usdms14 · 05-19-2005, 02:07 AM

valve cover looks like carbon fiber

sideview_180sx · 05-19-2005, 09:56 AM

OS Giken more then likely has it's parts made by other manufacturers and puts its stamp on it. BuffaloDaughter- why spend so much on OS Giken internals when already enough companies support it here stateside. Altho Like how BH wanted that clutch, only a matter of time until we see similar products like the exedy hyper single clutch for KAs. Im drooling over the OS Giken gear set. omg I want that so badly. Shit, i'd end the life of Thao's thieves in a heartbeat if it meant getting the clutch, and gear set haha

Brian · 05-19-2005, 09:59 AM

^^^^
i was talking about clutch for SR
you think i'm going to waste money on my KA?
not bloody likely!

drew935 · 05-19-2005, 11:17 AM

Non was developing that kit in 03. I saw it at SEMA 03. He had his booth across from ours but he wasn't done with the kit when I saw it. Yeah, that kit is pretty awesome. Hope that it gets a carb# licensed for it (DAMN, Cali strict smog laws and swap laws). That'll be a good alternative to boost on our truck engine...yee haw...hehehe lol j/k

oh yeah, he was in development at the time when I saw it: a clutch, turbo, tranny or close ratio gears

raen419 · 05-19-2005, 04:54 PM

that kit is chargespeed according to jtuned.

What do you mean why spend my moneyon OS giken? Cause OS Giken is the shit thats why. They make bad ass clutches and other parts in japan its great to have a major japanese company making quality parts for the KA. It's like have HKS internals or Trust internals but for KA's. I know they have internals here, I have known from the start but thats not what im looking for.

On another not Non's current set-up is pretty cool. I think iread somethingabout it trying to be carb legal??? Thats tight if it is. My eyes are definetly on this.

dannyboi · 05-19-2005, 05:35 PM

I've come to the conclusion: Non Fujita is the shit.

When I saw that engine...

literally.

SimpleS14 · 05-19-2005, 05:40 PM

I wonder when it will be readily available to the public (or if it currently is)?

I guess my $600 pauter rods are crap then huh? since they aren't jdm cool?
just cause its not made by some jdm company doesn't mean stuff's not crap. Personally the os giken stuff isn't tried and true, its the new kid on the block. people haven't put 600+hp to the wheels with it. I'd rather use something thats been time tested than something brand new thats more expensive...

raen419 · 05-20-2005, 12:37 AM

simples14, i figured as much after i posted that...oh well.
where'd you buy you n1 dual from? i'm trying to find it cheap...or have meineke make something similar...i have an exhaust leak (warped flange on cat), and it's a great excuse for new exhaust.

back on topic:
well, i guess this explains what Non's been doing since his historic s14 went up on ebay.

I never said that and are you accusing me of being "JDM COOL"? HA, Just because i don't like home grown stuff doesnt mean im super jdm tyte yo. I could care less about putting down 600+hp and blah blah. If you want to use something thats been done, do it then. Good for you. Sorry im not on your bandwagon but i have my own ideas and if not buying shit thats from the good ole' ussss rrr aaa makes me want to be JDM SUPER TYTE YO cool then you obviously want everyone to follow the leader now dont you?

nismo2491 · 05-20-2005, 02:11 AM

I never said anything about buy american or shit like that. and I quote your exact words

since when were hks or trust internals any better than pauter or anything like that, its just as good quality. So what if they make great stuff in japan? and why is it great to have a major japanese company making parts for a ka, sorry but the ka isn't the most common motor in japan, not by any means of a long shot. Personally I'd trust a company that developped parts in the same country that the motor was mainly available in, not halfway around the world.

how is that not saying you want jdm cool?? that says exactly that you don't want the USDM stuff because its produced in the USA and not japan.
Go ahead and spend your money for that special JDM name though. I'll spend my money better elsewhere, don't worry though, you're setup will still be good for something, you can always let me know if my tailights are clean or not.

You know how many other companies in Japan have motor internals made here, then rebadge and sold as japanese made. Kinda like Tomei LSD=Kaaz LSD, hmmm.....Tomei cams, similiar to AEBS products....but nah it could never happen because its from japan. that is the same type of BS like mangaflow saying the exhaust made from titanium is made in japan, bullshit....its made here in america like the rest of there shit. hks and trust doesn't mean best for that application. ever wonder why most serious supra guys go with all HKS shit, maybe because its best for application. obviously more research into how a motor works and who produces those parts will enlighten you further.

atom · 05-20-2005, 02:54 AM

What's funny is he mentioned HKS and Trust/Greddy, two companies that are well known for outsourcing manufacturing work to US companies. Those HKS pistons you like? Most likely JE. Greddy connecting rods? Carrillo.

But have fun paying the JDM markup.

SimpleS14 · 05-20-2005, 09:08 AM

STOP RUINING THE THREAD!!!!

I simply wanted to know when OS Giken started making parts for the KA. Maybe they did outsource to a US company...but then again maybe not. Didn't Yashio Factory makes some parts for the KA way back? (yes..random question).

Welp, since I have a rough idea when this all started....I want to know when such parts will be readily available and what prices we are looking at.

raen419 - I bought my exhaust used way back in 2002.

I'm with ya on this one. When and how much and carb legal (Cali)? hehe

oh yea guys relax. We all have our own prefs for our own cars. Judging should be done in competitions only...

420sx · 05-20-2005, 10:30 AM

who gives a fuck? OS is overprised. so is everything JdMMm. waste of money

MakotoS13 · 05-20-2005, 11:21 AM

like all these stupid women paying thousands of dollars for some kind of designer purse when it looks the exact same as a mexican ripoff... the same reason people who dont even care about sports cars buy corvettes or ferraris. the same reasons idiots buy houses in neighborhoods they can barely afford which then keeps their house barren.

for the opposite reason i live in my small town with a few good friends, quaint house, and have two cars fully paid for.

some people are show and some people are go and some people just do what works best despite what anybody else thinks.

BlackS14 · 05-20-2005, 12:46 PM

OK...everyone take a moment and dig all the sand out of thier respective vaginas and answer the question.....does anyone have any leads on where abouts to find more info on the OS stuff.....regardless of how much it costs.

Sheesh.....why folks worry so God damned much in regards to what other folks choose to spend there cash on..amazes me. Anyone heard the phrase..."to each his own"??
