I'll be buying one from PSI parts soon... Definitely need a vented bonnet, things are getting very warm.

Well car is now back on the road - in it's run-in tune

Here are some updates of the engine bay and run-in tune.

Engine bay looks tidy. Great power figures for a run in tune. Let us know what it makes when its run in.

just got my coilovers installed by Anth & Alex @ Dahtone Racing :P

exhaust sits 3.5cm off the ground (1/3 of a V can - in this case its a PimpJuice can :lol: ). I will raise the rear end when i take the car out again lol

but that aside..... it looks hot :)

edit**

McDrifto - love it!

seriously i'd just leave it like that and not ruin it with any bullshit kits or rims

:D

sif leave the stockies on for looks. get some deepdish 16' or 17' if u wanna leave the car at that height. agree bout the kit tho

fark man your rear camber tyre were that low will be awesome... :thumbsup:

heres my nugget yesterday.

got my standard 33 rims back on as they have my semi's (r32 gtst rims painted black for normal driving)

ive decided to save up for some new rims so it sits higher and also i want a CF hood - no crazy body kits here :)

i adjusted the coilovers to the highest possible safe point (left 2cm of tread in the purches/cups) and measured all 4 so they were even lol

the coils themselves are all the way up and cant go any higher... that means it wasnt on the lowest setting yesterday LOL

heres a pic of the car at its highest setting

:)

what coilovers are they? are they bottoming out at that height?

HSD coilovers with soft spring rate. They dont bottom out and it wasnt on the lowest setting in the previous pics, the ride is smooth!!!

In the previous pics the bottom purches/cups were wound all the way down, the coils themselves were all the way up. The coilovers could of been wound down a lot, which if it was you wouldnt be worrying about bottoming out because your car would be dragging on the floor

    • Way more than 1cm. Appreciate the advice maybe I try changing the bushing first
    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
