My car ownership list consist of;

1, 1990 Nissan Patrol with RB30ET (bought it when I was 17).

2, 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GTST sedan.

3, 1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTST 40th anniversary (just sold that today).

I'm buying 4th car soon (most likely another turbocharged Nissan hopefully a R33 GT-R).

In nutshell, I've sampled 3x RB powered Nissan so far and 26 is next on list and I'm only 22!

Cheers

1st car was 1979 celica coupe. written off as in rolled 2 times resulting in sub box 50 meters away on road.

2nd car was a VH commodore 3.3 auto. worse on fuel than the Skyline.

3rd was a 5 litre 5 spd VR ex interceptor. Nice on long trips.

4th was a 1979 corolla. (I know down grade, but bought first house)

5th and current 1993 R33 GTST 5 spd running 290 rwkw and had this now for 6 years and just keep on loving it more and more. :)

    • Way more than 1cm. Appreciate the advice maybe I try changing the bushing first
    • 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.
