2011 Time Attack Series major sponsor, Autosport, stamp their domineering intentions late in the chase for a starting grid position in this Sunday's event. The announcement of 2009 Tuner Series Champion, Brad Trenwith, taking the lead steer in his FD3S RX7 for South Australia's premier motorsport accessories outlet has upped the ante for outright.

Brad Trenwith has formed a close working relationship with S2 Performance in the offseason, and together have addressed a lot of the reliability issues the car faced last year. Sonic Performance have helped in turbo selection, Exhaust Technology have the car breathing better and REVS have built a motor to take advantage of all the new additions. With further efforts with S2 Performance, Brad is hoping to continue development of the car and provide some challenge to the AWD cars in the PRO class.

An awesome but very hot day at the track. Was great to get out in the vintage car and cut some more laps - been over 18 months since I went round and round as fast as I can without breaking something. The day was won by Steve Knight in his wicked Evo 6. My wrap up:

Canards and Splitter - win

Downforce - win

Structural integrity of said splitter and canards - FAIL.

Brake water spray - win

Flammable brake ducting - FAIL

It was like I was on fire as the car started to behave itself more, and then it was on FIRE!!! Anyways, it'll be back again, stronger and kickin' it to the front runners. A big thanks to Sponsor Willall racing for helping me out with a far older GTR than they are used to (albeit not RH9), Infinity Signs for at the 11th hour sorting me out with my crazy car design and stickers, and Autosport for the awesome effort with brake pads on Friday and tow equipment required to make the day.

Cheers,

Andrew

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
