Yeah kgf = kilograms of force.

1 kgf = 10Newtons.

It is the plate pre-load.

I set my Nismo diff to the middle setting & there are more clunks than a clunk convention - although clunkage is dependent on the clutch plate size, number and to a lesser degree the diff ramp angle.

lol, the ol sneaky edit while I was posting trick! not sure if they are right but they should be if you found it in one of my other posts. the difference i believe is the preload.

haha sorry mate. I found the pt# for the R200 in the Nismo online catalogue. I don't want the thing clunking around sharp corners as it's still used on the street more than the track, so i'll go for the 8kgf version.

Cheers Guys

Hey guys, just an update on my Nismo GT Pro 1.5way...

been in the car a few weeks now and I just changed the oil over to Redline 80-140W Gear oil... has reaaaally smoothed the diff up. Before it used to really clunk and bang and feel like the arse end of the car was going to fall out.. I was going to start dosing the diff with separate friction modifier just to see but instead changed the oil out altogether. Unfortunately I can't say what was in there to begin with - the guy who fitted and setup my diff did not use the Nismo oil it came with and put in 'what he recommended'. But the point is that the choice of oil can and does affect how 'streetable' the diff is. Mine now still skips the outside tyre on the pavement on tight turns, but without all the other crash/bang/fkin-thump from the back.. I reckon if I put a little friction modifier in there now, I could further smooth it up - but as mine is more for track than street - I'm happy where it is. Just enough to show me its still locking, and smooth enough not to piss me off on the street.

So just a heads up. If you do get a harsh diff - try oil or friction modifier to smooth it up a bit - it does help.

What do you guys think about the Carbonetic/ATS (same company) Carbon LSD? They are really popular with the 350z(Fairlady Z) and now starting to catch on with the Supras and Silvias. Anyone test one on any year GTR?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
