Josh can't make it, something about working tomorrow... I think he mentioned something about how he was a fag now but I stopped listening :banana:

Note:the gay thing is purely joking....

Well that was really good :) good meeting some of yas. Can't complain with a free wheel alignment :) Next tech session should be learning about dyno tuning with free tunes :) .....just an idea.

I'll get the few photos I took up in a bit.

Hey Guys,

I had a great morning! Thanks to those that joined in and A HUGE thanks to Graham, Nick and the team at Fulcrum Capalaba.

For those that didn't attend, here's a quick summary;

** We were welcomed by the Nick and his Team, the BBQ was in full swing - Sausage Sizzle and cold drinks, what more could you ask for!!

** Graham then started his session - Not your boring 'class room' style presentation.

He got a number of OUR cars up on the hoist and then went to town!

We were all in, around and under the cars... look at this... check out that... etc. Full explanations, loads of free advice, etc.

With his 30+ years of experience, there wasn't a question that he couldn't answer!

Unfortunately I had to leave early :D but I think there were 6+ skylines up on the hoist. Every car had a diagnosis - with some more embarrassing than others (damn it, those cheep tyres!!)

another HUGE THANKS to the Fulcrum guys.

I didn't find the session to be a big 'sales pitch'. Please support them when and where you can!

I know Nick will do a great deal if anyone needs parts or service! - 07 3390 3900

** Keep a look out for the next Tech Session - well hope to have another one in approx 4 to 6 weeks.

Cheers

well done to the event execs and dan for setting it up. chris has summarised it all quite nicely and i won't say much more on it.

it was good to catch up with everyone and put a few names to faces.

ToMMah, never realised who you were :blush:

sorry i had to leave early, had to go to work.

how'd his head bruise turn out by the end of the session?!

i spoke with nick also and they will honour discounts for club members across any fulcrum outlet (just make sure you call nick first so he can organise it at the relevant outlet). just let him know you are a club member and show your card.

      Differential Recommendations for HPDE Built R32 GTST

      I have S15 helical too. It is a bit worn. I think the drive behaviour you describe is related to this wear. Wear of helicals is something that no-one seems to have paid a lot of attention to, but now that they (as in original Nissan ones) are all a bit old - we're starting to  see the consequences. The ends of the helical spurs wear into the casing. That's where they perform the braking that diverts torque. Some of the more modern helical designs have proper wear surfaces introduced there, but the Nissan ones are just steel on steel (or iron).

      I've had a range of rear diff centres - open, viscous, helical, mechanical, welded, etc.   I can't go past a refreshed factory 32 gtr centre for consistent lock and street driving. The next step up for me would be the nismo 1.5 way , which likely suits you better as track sounds like the focus. Will chatter in carparks but its not the worst.   I have never tried a quaife rear diff, an option I've looked at before and might be one for you .....   Currently playing with an S15 centre at the moment and I hate it.  The transition from single wheel spin either side is just weird.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      Honestly, I did think the PDM could do it and thought Haltech told me the pump didn’t like it. But after re-reading the emails and comments above, I clearly misunderstood lol.

      I also run a CD009. I'm currently on a 4.08 and it's not great. I originally intended to run a 3.3 but had issues, more on that later. I'd stick to anywhere between a 3.3-3.7 as found in the 350z.  As for brands of ring and pinions, absolutely stay away from Speedtek. They are absolute garbage. See my build thread for more information on that. I went through two of there 3.3's and both had bad runout. They were paperweights and they have still yet to refund me.  I ended up putting in a Nissan 4.08, which was better then the original 4.36 but is far from ideal. I'm going to pop a 3.5 in this winter. I'd stick Nissan. I've also heard of a company "Neat Gearboxes" that makes them. Haven't tried them, but they can't be worst then Speedtek...

      You should Nistune the ECU, so you have freedom to use modern injectors instead of replacing with the same old shit. This is also required if you want to boost it up above ~200rwkW, where the stock injectors will be running out of capacity. Having said that, it is unlikely that the injectors need replacing just 'coz. If you imported it from Japan, the fuel should have been pretty good quality for the whole life of the car.
