Then got to work making a battery box for the rear shelf. the idea is that i want it removeable so i can get to fuel tank. but also nice and solid. will have a hinged lid on the front to allow access to the battery, it isnt finished yet but you get the idea.

i know you have said no already but a forward facing plenum is going to make your engine bay look soooo much cleaner. just put a cheap ebay job on for now.

better response.

better looking.

but it all comes down to cost

top work anyway i love the fabrication work.

Saw this up close the other day when i was pickin up my car from AM and oo thats a bigass wing! :)

Cant wait to see it down on the track! its going to be awesome! take me for lap when its done, pwease?

Lol

More work done... cooler piping has been done but i didnt get pics of it all on as i need some joiners. Heres a pic of what the top pipe will look like.

Got gauges in, the pivots that were in the car either didnt work or were missing senders, only one remains and thats the oil temp one. the others are various miss matched guage... in fact every guage is a different brand. im gonna start a trend here!

yeah i get what your saying mate, however i much rather save for a propper one instead of just going a ebay copy, those things tend to be iffy at best of times.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
