It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

So who is good with tuning and problem solving Skylines in Mackay or the surrounding area that will touch a Microtech?

pm mafia as he knows most of the tuners in town and can point you in the right direction.

yea i was there, had a bad night for racing, so not much to say there. i did have a look at your mates car though was it the one with all the carbon fiber stuff? there was two gtr's nur33 i think was one and the other one was the white one though. i think your mate did a best of 12.3 or something like that, but was being nice on the launch from what i had seen. i on the other hand removed all of the wieght i put in the rear and had my rear tyers rotated as they where worn out, stupid idea's as i had no down force on the rear tyers from the water bottles and now even less tyer surface area so all that equaled SLOW! although i did do that green/blue 427 supercharged xr8 ute over in my first run so was happy with that. need slicks big time as it hard to get traction in a gtst. and i have been getting adrenalin to do my tuning so far-so good but when im ready for a more stressing tune ill be speaking to mafia (john) to tune my car again. what cu will you be running?

Ah yeah there is alot to be said for good tyres lol.. yeah thats him purple one

Iam running a power FC-Dejetro.. I gotta go to bris soon so i will prob get mark at godzilla to tune it for me.

yea i have heard of them should be good to see what the result's are, i managed to pick up a new set of mickey thompson et's on the weekend for a great price, this way i can shoot for the high to mid 11's instead of times all over the place. that nur33 is a nice car as well he has spent some money on that machine! will be great to see it on full throttle :blink:

Hey boys.

I've been watching your chat. Good to hear people are still driving these things.

I just dropped a RB25\30DET into mine. Its done 700kms. Cranked the powerfc right up, she's making good power now. Been spending a bit of time tuning it, but getting there, Hard to tune when driving on your own haha.

I'll be keen to race a few of you too.

Good to hear from you all.

      R34 Diff oil

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
