ok hang on so the $2802 is what i pay per year and the "excess" which is $1600 is what i pay in an event of an accident etc? 3046 much safer than 3047 :P

what do yous pay then for your premiums?

If one's ecr33 diff has gone from a twin spinner to a single spinner akin to that of a VN commodore, what should one do?

options are:

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

replace with real diff

all of these better than standard diff

options are:

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

replace with real diff

all of these better than standard diff

Replace with GTR diff you say?

What benefit would this have over say, a train... which i can also afford.

shim

weld

Shim = what i will be doing

Weld = f**k that

GTR diff = will need to replace both half shafts as GTR is 6 bolt and GTST is 5 bolt

Replace with real diff = expensive and if u buy a shit one like i did it will explode nicely LOL

$10/month X 12 months = $120

is this your r33 or? why so cheap you must have a spotless license or something..

u think thats bad i remember being quoted somewhere round 5-6k full comp back in 2003 as a p plater r34 gtt think just cars or shannons.....

now $290 third party just cars.....

not surprised for a p plater i dont know what p plater would be able to afford that just for insurance anyway

thats not too bad for 3 cars but why do you need 3 cars for :/ i can understand 2 if you had 1 daily in which case i'd get a shitter thats not even worth insuring so i'd still only pay for 1

On a scale of 1 to Miley Cyrus, how illegal is shimming a diff?

you can shim a diff as tightly as you want, you can shim it for minimum lock or shim it so that it skips like a 2 way. Up to you.

With legality, its like anything if cops see it skipping they might say something, i have never had a prob with cops with the 2 way, they saw it skipping along the ground and didnt say anything

options are:

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

replace with real diff

just went out for a drive to prac my heel and toe technique.......master :whistling: i notice that my diff feels a bit sad maybe its these f@#%in ku36's dnt like em time to get a real

diff nismo 1.5 or 2 way? yea boiii...

3 litre is probably cheaper

f**k welding the diff or GTR diff

either shim your current one or new kazz centre or nismo centre

do it once and do it properly

stuff changing in / out 2nd hand parts etc

kaaz 1.5

do it and you can thank me later.

shimming's good fun if you own a beat up 32, but if you want it to last, do it properly. Put it this way... ALL the power you make has to go through it. If you wanna wager that on a $1.50 shim go nuts.

shimming just increases the bite point of your viscous, which means there's still slip, as time goes on it'll wear down and cark your diff. Guaranteed. Unless you're prepared to pull down and flush pumpkins after every track day or major fang session.

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!
