  1. Hey guys. I'm looking for essentially a steering wheel spacer that would retain the factory steering wheel opposed to aftermarket as it's for a street car that I like to keep unassuming and am also quite tall that I need the wheel further toward me. This is basically what I'm looking for but quite exxy https://www.spacershop.com/en/product-category/steering-wheel-spacers/nissan-steering-wheel-spacer/ Has anyone seen any others? I was considering making an adapter using a boss kit and centre bolt section on top of that but would rather something produced properly. Thanks.
  2. Also, did swap to t56 spigot bearing as it did have one for TR6060 which causes problems if running a T56. Spigot may have been slightly scored though.
  3. Hey guys. Looking for some suggestions on a problem I have and things to check that I may not have thought of. Diagnosing a fault in my R32 which is running a LSA and t56 and was its first drive when this occurred. The motor was a brand new crate motor and the t56 was used and in unknown condition. I initially ran the motor in on a dyno under varying loads with no worries. Whilst further running the motor in at a track test and tune day also under varying loads and only revving to 4500rpm, after a few sessions in, on a straight in a high gear (still low rpm) I developed what sounded like knock. I slowed to pull off and when reaching a low speed, the car cut shut off completely. I towed into the pits and went to load up onto the trailer but the driveline had seemed to have locked and wouldn't roll on the trailer. Eventually loaded up and went home. Upon arriving home I for some reason decided to check if the car would move and crank, as it did not whilst trying to load it. Now it started and drove so I quickly drove it into the garage but it had a high pitched squeal whilst driving in 1st gear. When I stopped, clutched and popped back into neutral, the noise stopped so I ran the car in neutral and revved a little to see if I could hear any knock but there was zero that I could hear but did not check with a stethoscope or extension or driver, etc. The clutch is a NPC single plate (brand new) with supplied slave however I don't think the tolerances/ shimming were right within specification. The master is a 3/4 random or ebay possibly even. I have a brand new wilwood to replace. The t56 had a Ripshifter in it which may have been problematic. I have started to pull the car down so am unable to put the car on stands and test for noises under load and with clutch in/out, etc unfortunately. It's a bit of a puzzling one to narrow down completely but what I can think of is; - Worst case, engine bearings (rod/ crank/ thrust) Would this still make noise whilst revving but not under load? Would any engine problem lock up the driveline but free up later? - Clutch issue either loose bolts, contaminants in the bellhousing causing lock up and squeal, wear of clutch (manufacturing problem), Slave shimming caused failure. - Gearbox issue, possibly lunched gearbox which locked up driveline or ripshifter engaging multiple gears have too much throw? Additional information: I didn't have any data logging capabilities, however I did have GoPro helmet footage which I have checked thoroughly to see if the oil pressure gauge ever noted low pressure, which it did not. Also, upon shifting, the revs always stayed quite high and didn't drop off which may indicate that the clutch wasn't fully disengaging and may have caused premature wear and failure? Any other suggestions or thoughts/ opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.
  4. Thanks mate! Standard they run 9psi. Can up them safely to about 15 but introduces a lot of heat. Eventually with boost, injectors, e85 and a cam it should see around 530rwkw
  5. Link to a video of it at the track. https://www.facebook.com/SmashBoxSliders/videos/834068450032693/
  6. The initial tune net 350kw at 4600rpm and 700nm from 2500rpm onwards. As the crate motor is still being run in, we couldn't take it past that 4500. The car is yet to be painted so mind the primer.

  8. Selling CAMS spec full cage. $3k worth of cage. Note: must take shell and cut cage yourself. $450 Vic
  9. Chasing factory rear pods for R32 Vic
  10. Looking for a r32 rear bar and pods in Vic No broken mounts please.
  11. Legend! Thanks heaps. I used to have them but went with my old tail shaft. Allen key is cap head, yea?
  12. Hey guys just got my new tail shaft and wondering if anyone knows the bolt specs? (The 6 bolts that mate tail shaft to diff flange) Thanks.
  13. Yea i did that and this, factory gtr and nismo are the same
  14. Hey guys. Just picked up this GTR diff I was told was a Vspec also. Opened it up to weld and is much different to what I'm used to. Some say clutch pack and pull apart to weld but some say it's an aftermarket centre. 1.5 or 2 way. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.
  15. haha yea man! Wish they were as cheap as yours was
  16. Just quickly knocked out the crossmember notch today. The side bits do go through to the back for support.
  17. Oh snap. SmashBoxx if I could then please. Thank you
  18. Crossmember notch. Rack has been moved forward and is much stronger than standard. I'll be filling the gap with L bracket about 5mm so should hold up well. With these mounts, the sump sits about 3mm under the crossmember so I'll be having to make up a decent bash plate.
  19. So had some spare time to dummy up the motor and it really fits in well. Swapped the factory rear sump and just opted for a GM front sump with internal baffling and trapdoors to help prevent oil starvation. I'll be accompanying this with an accusump setup and will likely go drysump later on if the bearing have any sign of wear. Grabbed a front sump which I was told was a vz one which I needed but turns out it wasn't and won't allow my trapdoors in so I grabbed another off a mate. Gave it a good clean because I hate working on filthy cars and it would have looked well out of place with the shiny motor and bay. I also fitted up my oil cooler inlet/outlet block with autometer senders to check clearance and no dramas. The motor sits in surprisingly well with the brackets meeting the crossmember holes perfectly. It did require notching the crossmember as standard but it clears the clutch master, steering shaft, swaybar by mines and everything! Now to plate up the crossmember and mounts and fab a gearbox mount and everything can start going in.
