I worked on a new petrol navara a few days ago., had VQ40DE engine, same family as VQ25 in M series stageas and alike. This thing went like the clappers, heaps of torque. Love to see a race prepped one with some huffers hanging off it. nice and compact too.

Im currently considering a rwd conversion on the GTR.

I found at oran park when the front diff Broke the only thing that suffered was the initial launch from the grid and some power oversteer which I think is caused by the rear springs. The front drive used to pull the rear out of the corner where now it doesnt so softer rears are needed to start with.

When I considered the weight of the transfer, front sump/diff, attessa pump, control unit/loom etc it may be viable to remove it all.

If I was to remove it I could also fabricate a proper dry sump pan, lower the engine another 3 inches into the engine bay and move it further back. As well as be released from a few of the AWD 3D rules. Probably easier to go buy a space frame car to begine with though.

    • 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
    • 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
