First off back in 2003/2004 I imported my first Gts-t... Was a great little fun car with a RB20 and Apexi turbo making 220 odd rwkw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp2QUSzZFa0?fs=1&amp http://www

where did you get the turbo beanie?

hows it holding up? the ones i have seen don't last too long and have a habit of smoking really bad after a while.

Ebay, it's branded autobahn88...

So far so good, between it and the heat wrap on the dump it smoked for a while but now has cleared up and is fine :)

Failed to make it down to the drags this week because I tried to reinstall the rear stock suspension to get a bit of squat in the rear end and because of all the alignment changes the bottom seat of the spring hits against the upper camber arm!

So I had a bit of a hissy fit and went f**k it I'm not going down at all and left the rear end in bits and on jack stands...

Going to get my shit together tonight and put the coilovers back in and then probably just raise the rear end a inch or 2 and run it like that down the drags with some MT ET streets, probably won't be a good time due to getting kicked out as soon as you run a 11.99 or better but will be good to see how high the mph will be.

Fingers crossed for at least a low 11 at 130+mph

Well drags went ok, didn't get the best launch in the world but went for it anyway, ended up getting kicked out so only 1 pass on power.

Ran a 11.03 @ 132.5mph and the ANDRA official kicked me out and said to not come back without 10.99 or better regulations.

So close but no 10, at least the mph was healthy :)

Fck yeah mate, thats awesome. what tread did you use? with the coilovers or stock?

Coilovers, stock suspension hits on camber arms now. MT ET streets 255/50/16

thats moving. I think my t67 with 10 cm housing is goung on with rhe cams and e85. will see what abuse it can take and whether the lil 20 can keep on the boil down the qtr. god knows it will ne a shitty track setup

Mine was set up for track really, all I did was would the rears up 15mm and bolted on tyres. Those ET streets are surprisingly grippy haha

I always thought it was a 10.99 you needed before getting the boot, either way a very good time

11.99 you need a harness, tailshaft loop and andra licence etc... Because I was so close to a ten and mph was high he said I had to sort the 10.99 or quicker requirements as well, so cage plus lots more

      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.

      R34 Diff oil

      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.
