tell me about it, i sold brakes for $500 and have to spend $3500 to replace them.

haha. you planning on getting rid of it already? or just for the right price ay..

i was looking into doing this as a project but i think i'd get bored from how long it would take with available funds atm.

Purchased a GTR style front bar ages ago, there is a pick of it somwhere earlier in the thread.

Some Vielside side skirts, and a GTR bonett to go on very soon i hope. Also bought a glass bootlid but it does not seem to be much lighter than the metal one. have to weigh it.

can you say 'race spec!'

What front bar are you using.. decent sized oil cooler too!

basically the same car, i cant see it being to much different. Spoke to SK today about a suspension package. You would be amazed on what i learned in 20mins on the phone. want to get the car running in the next few weeks and then sort suspension and then brakes. Might have to sell go-kart.

Can't weit to see this in action.. been waiting for an ls1 powered 32 for ages! So many ls1 s13's now though.

yea i was wondering what suspension you're going to be using seeing that you're using it as an all rounder.

Car has been at panel shop for last week getting fitted up. Had the boot sprayed also. Bonnet pins fitted etc and then a final buff, came up mad. cant believe it is the same car i picked up from Qld 18 months ago. this is the first time the car has had all the panels fitted.

Got the lifters today and should have the heads next week.

Pulling box back out tomorro to play around with release bearing clearance.

Cpmputer arrived during the week. Going to purchase some guages, finish the dash and get the car wired so i can fire it.

A few before and after shots.

      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

      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
