looks like you have a fun weekend ahead - I hope they let you get enough track time, they have a habit of happily cuttting support class time to allow more important things like grid walks and 1 car at a time qualifying. probably not such an issue over there because I guess there are less categories than usual

nar Ducan its not to bad we will have over 3.5 hours for the weekend which is more than enough. No FF or mini's etc just the radicals and us as support. And i do believe we will be quicker than the V8!

Roy not much into rubbing carbon firbe panels i can tell you...might not happen yet as uber dollar diff wont be here until wednesday. Anyone ever heard of a riccardo GT1 diff?

just got back from the v8 supertaxi's. The track looks mad and the facilities are pretty awesome. They didn't use the full F1 track though.

Working hard I see mate,LOL.

That track is pure horn.

wish Australia had facilities like this track!!

:drool:

I have been dropping hints to the mrs to get me a drive day at the Dubai autodrome for my bday in March when Im there! :)

    • 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
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
