I will post up some with all the sponsors livery next week once it is all made public. Unfortunately it was bit of a rush to build as i only had a fortnights holiday to strip, mock-up 26, strip, paint then re-assemble..... but i am pretty happy with the way it turned out.

looking good. I'm keen to see and hear it with some RB power :)

Needs the T517Z's on my desk fitted then we will be happy..... the Std RB26 is no match for the old worked SR20 that was in it..... we thought we would get away with it in WA (as turbo's were still in transit) but we struggled majorly for power (4th gear track) Mallala should show its full potential.

Yeah, I saw it going around Wanners and it didn't look like it had enough grunt to get the wheels frying. Better luck for Mallala. Cat still seemed to draw a crowd though :)

That old SR was an animal, I only heard it on video but it was awesome.

I can't wait to see some RB26 powered Kuroi style runs from Cat...

I hope there are plans for the new Uras GT aero to go on it after the current aero gets damaged.

I saw it at a car show recently and it looks awesome

haha yeah for sure i love that kit.

the old TRUST SR20 i built for it is now resting in my kitchen :wub: , gonna give it a freshen. Not sure whether to sell or keep for a rainy day same with the $9k PPG box attached to it. SR stuff always comes in handy.

give it to me trent. I will make a home for it and the box in my GTST. i'll give you the old RB20 in it as swap. hell you get two more cylinders for free. can't argue with that kind of value.

edit: yes I love the new GT kit. almost enough to make me buy a 180. :wub:

tell me about it.... they actually joke that there are more 33's in oz than japan nowadays.... and cant justify a new kit. But i will continue to pester them :nyaanyaa:

hows the weight balance with the car with an extra 2 cylinders over the front wheels compared to the SR? Now that the same shell has been drifted with a SR and a RB, would make for an interesting comparison...

SR WINS HANDS DOWN. The setup works well but if was to build a serious track car i would not go down this path unless i moved engine back 15-20cm.

The SR was far nicer to drive in anger around a circuit, as for drift it (RB) works well but we spent a lot of time setting up the suspension.

Once the turbo's are on it will be quick but honestly a few more grand spent on the old SR (maybe a BC stroker kit) and it would match it (RB) fairly easy.

I am toying with completing the conversion the way i had originally planned, by installing the double wishbone front suspenion into the S13. I just ran out of time.

      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

      R34 Diff oil

      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.

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
