With the strong winds I noticed shit loads of branches & all kinds of loose shit all over a lot of roads, I'm more worried about the potholes that are going to be popping up all over the place over the next few weeks/months

Yeah my car was being a bit tail happy but not much more than normal.

Nothing you can't compensate for.

True that, my Ling Longs do not help the situation but if you drive carefully you can sompensate for it.

But it's not the rain you must watch out for, it's the d*ckheads that don't secure their loads, thats right I'm off to a panel shop tomorrow! :D

Just concentrate out there guys and girls,

I saw an ambo and 2 cop cars at the scene of an accident at the big round about in Ellenbrook. Plus I had some hero in a 180sx sliding all over the place in front of me, he obviously had no control while going through the gears.

Back in the day...

When I still had a pair of balls...

However, now I am a law abiding, upright citizen. A pillar of society and a corner-stone of the establishment! :D

Curse my laggy 4wd! lol wheelspin? what's that?!

Haha, I hear that! Was driving my parent's Subaru Liberty with Michelin's in the rain, no comparison to me Skyline with cheapo rubber!

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
