Syncro Mode Facts From The English Handbook
AlexCim replied to emanuelt's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Ska, what driveline parts have been changed in your car, doing the conversion myself right now, i will be swapping the diff with a NISMO item later when i can afford it... -
thats pretty cool! i use that little dip as well to store stuff, better then it flapping around in the back..

Yeh my windscreen looks pretty bad, no big stone chips, but even after a wash there are white specs everywhere... When im driving along and hear a stone hit it and make a *ching* noise, i say in my brain "CRAP!" BTW, probably a lot easier to get stagea windscreens in QLD then the rest of Aus as stags a been around there a lot longer, and surly some company (as is apparent) saw there was some money to be made.

Manual conversion -> PowerFc -> No piggy backs needed Hence, i am also trying to offload my DFA if someone wants it, i want the 79.95 that the kit cost, its already built and calibrated ready to go into the car, just never got around to installing it.... As always, will post Auswide -

If anyone is interested in a used SITC I can supply it for $200+postage to you... -
Ok, well as everyone would know, i am going for the manual conversion. I have decided to go with the r33 GTR gearbox, as Stagezilla, as its supposed to be the correct length to not require a new driveshaft Sooo, one thing i am doing differently to Stagezilla is that i am going for just a GTST master. At the same time as buying the master, i bought a GTST slave, GTST pedal set (clutch/brake/accel). Now, i know that the r33 gtst is a PUSH style clutch system, but someone explain to me what i am talking about below. First, here a picture of a R33 GTR slave on yahoo JP. And the clutch setup with mock attachment to master Now, here is what i am experiancing. With this clutch/master (which is pretty generic inc same as GTR) when the clutch is pressed, pressure is built up in the master, therefore causing pressure in the line, and eventually makes the piston at the slave PUSH out. Now, considering i dont know the main difference between PUSH/PULL, the only way that i can see that it could "pull"(as a gtr should/need to go for gearbox) the clutch would be a) for the little rod to be welded to the piston inside, and then the fluid from the lines to enter the "forward" chamber to "push" the piston back, causing it to pull the clutch B) the pivot point on the clutch to be BELOW where the master attaches to the clutch, therefore making the master "pull" the pressure into it, casuing the welded little rod to be pulled back. Now, i reckon there would be a lot of strain if it was actually pulling... soooo... option c is that it just mounts on the other side of the clutch, meaning all i would need is new lines between the master and the slave, which i wanted to get from Maltech anyway.... Sooo, anyone got any ideas... PS, if you cant tell, im new to this PUSH/PULL thing At the moment, the only thing holding me going ahead is waiting on my gearbox to arrive, powerFC and also sorting out this push/pull thing, otherwise, ill be finished within 1-2 months.

Well, ive bought off Martin twice, great bloke, we talk for about 30-40 minutes both times about stuff when i was picking up First, i bought a catback...easy transaction Second, wanter clutch master/slave brake/clutch pedal. Gave me the accel pedal too just to make a set Good prices for the stuff too, so its great deal for me. BTW, if my call doesnt get answered, i call back and normally 2-3 time gets picked up? Also, you guys may want to try and organize your own shipping, as not everyone is a mega cool crazy shipping guru, specially for shit like doors or other big things.

I clocked on 18 in april, Last year or so I started and run a business with help from my parents and sell over the internet, on eBay actually. My postal runs are quite large ($300 each few days) and therefore i carry a lot of sheit. Also, i always need to just carry stuff around in general, i am one of those garage sale/auction lovers, soo -> hence, wagon Plus, i want to be different. I dont want a skyline, 180, silvia etc just because, its so attractive to the police and also EVERYone has one (well not really, but get the idea) I understand the disadvantages of starting with my base platform as a wagon, but i cant wait until i get it handling a bit better, bit more power, bit better braking and a bit sexier. On the up side, depending how long i keep this car, i wont ever get the "honey, sell your car, its too small" later in life. So if i sink $50k into the car, at least i can enjoy it for many years to come without fear of spousal resistance Oh, funnly enough, my girlfriend didnt like the stagea at first "It looks like a herse!" Now, we wash to together and she is the one saying "Damn it looks sexy"

Syncro Mode Facts From The English Handbook

Ok, to clear this stuff up The sync buton makes an orange/yellow light on the dash come one that looks like this Snow button: Doesnt use first gear Sync button: 50:50 split front/rear My questions, Why doesnt Ians manual stagea have the 50:50 split? Its more for traction etc, and sure the system is fast enough anyway, but...why? -

Syncro Mode Facts From The English Handbook
AlexCim replied to emanuelt's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
When i put mine in snow mode (on the trans), it just starts me in 2nd gear. Like, i get bogged down launches and so forth. The sync button is tottally different to snow, it makes certain its full time 50:50, and not variable as normal driving, therefore making it like its got a central transfer case which is permanently geared to run X split -
Well, i wanted them in plastic but freddy said thats no good because they dint (as in, get chuncks taken out of them on impacts) Sooo...will get them made out of flexible FRP (fibre reinforced plastic, aka, fibreglass).

Syncro Mode Facts From The English Handbook
AlexCim replied to emanuelt's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Snow mode doesnt adjust power, snow mode just doesnt use first gear. Snow mode is on the transmission, syncronise is on the dash (S in middle of 4 wheels) Oddly, Ians manual stagea didnt have teh S button feature, but Ska's manually converted one does...?? Odd ey? -
Syncro Mode Facts From The English Handbook
AlexCim replied to emanuelt's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
I drove with teh S mode on to uni and back today. For some reason i even notice more midrange in the car, compared to just normal driving. I find it also goes around roundabouts and uturns/courts a lot quicker with less understeer.. -
Fuel economy, what you can do about it.
AlexCim replied to AlexCim's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
NRGIZD, like i said, i have a DFA here and built which i wont be needing anymore due to getting a power FC, they RRP at 79 in kit form, and i dont mind giving mine to you at that price built. You will need the hand controller with it too, but they are pretty easy to build as well (i need to keep my controller for my EBC) The DFA is also pretty easy to install, and i can also just send you right to the person that was going to tune mine with me Dr Drift.
