Howdy all,

Good day had by all it seems, few slow people and a few more who had a strange attraction to knocking over the cones!

Nah that was just me ;D

Had a blast though even though I had no clue as to what I was doing... for most of the day I was using the footbrake which as I found out doesn't work so well on a skidpan. Just towards the end the nice bloke in the orange XR6T gave me a tip about using the handbrake (hope the car's ok mate!) and then I was actually starting to have some fun ... sooooo much better with the handbrake!! Wish I'd come more rested and willing to ask for tips but was just too tired and wanted to get out there.

Now I secretly wish the car doesn't sell before november :P Thanks to the organizers and volunteers, twas an awesome day.

WOW, what a day.

HUGE thanks to all for making such an awesome day possible, i know many man (and Lady) house go in behind the scenes to make ti work, as well as lots of people giving up their Sundays!

I was sad to leave early after only 2 battles, but had to see my old man for fathers day! Although he was more interested in seeing some pics from the day than seeing me :P

Thanks again to everyone, great to meet heaps of new people too, and see them all having so much fun!

Cant wait for more pics, some great pics there guys, looking forward to the rest. Cheers!!!

I took a fair few videos too, will sort them out tonight and post them up. :D

To all those that wondered, GD2ILA drove home just fine. Funnily enough, the ride on the M7/M2 was much smoother on the ride home - the front tyres had been flat spotted from the Wakie day. But all those skidz seemed to have re-trued my tyres muhahaha :D

Of course I'm shure I've cut the life of the rest of the drive train in 1/2. :P

Hey to all you that have video of my White 33 GTR. I'll pay you a few bucks for them if you will shoot me a DVD with the raw video file. PM me so we can work out some details. Or maybe we should set up a video swap day somewhere. I've got a few vids I took on the day.

(This especially goes for you Mr A. Moocow - i want that vid of me Drifting the GTR)

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Pay diff/trans workshop to do this.   Nope. Z32 turbo ran R230 with 6 bolt GTR style axles. All other Z32 were R200. Basically same same as other R32 stuff. All were a viscous waste of space.

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
