I've got the PSC with that on the front cover, insane piece of machinery.. TWO of the turbos that I've only got one of ;) oh and it's manual :(

But yes, that car is me to a T!

Not a Nissan. Alrighty

Mazda RX7 FC. Tuned to between 300-350rwkw. Stock exterior except for some gunmetal lightweight rims and ride height. Fresh coat of white paint with maybe a hint of pearl. Racing seats and Roll Cage.

Ok. the Following pics arnt exact to my mod selection. But gives the idea my thinking.

Hsv Coupe 4 (awd v8 coupe :P )

Although they rare and still expensive.

So I would opt for a monaro or regular hsv coupe (around the $20-$30k)

But thats because Ive stuffed around with turbo cars already and would want to try a v8 now. So if I never had the nissan, id prob look at a cheap xr6 turbo or a aw11 mr2 supercharged cause they look like a fun car to throw around haha

You know if i couldn't drive a Nissan then that pretty much rules out most of my favourite cars... And if im keeping it in the same price range, i hate to say it but i would probably buy a brand new Honda Civic Hybrid :)

Possibly one of the most gutless, understeering pigs on the road... But something about averaging 4.3L/100km is just appealing lol. And they aren't bad looking cars, at least it isn't a hatch back. And the engine turns itself completely off when you come to a stop, and on again when you take your foot off the brake, that is f**kin cool!

Thats probably what i would buy, considering the idea was we have to keep it in the same price range... Half the cars people mentioned here are 5 times as expensive as any Nissan!

*EDIT* Knowing how to beat the pig sensor FTW!!

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • 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.
