After a Painful and Pleasurable couple of hours reading the build, I'd have to say this is a work of art with craftmanship and care i haven't seen before.

Hope the best for your next stage :)
and keep me posted

Rightio. I had the pleasure of going for a little squirt yesterday in the absolutely epic car. It wasn't a long drive, it was enough to get the feel for the OS88 in it. Absolutely sold. Definitely not as "agricultural" as what I would have imagined.

The first thing that struck me was how quiet and tame it is while idling. No "grump grump, lots of overlap, big cam crap" going on, just a smooth as factory idle. The noise that was coming out of the exhaust wasn't that much louder than a factory car also. Pulls well from down low but you can tell its just screaming to be wound up. 15 psi, its not even trying.

The level of detail is second to none, anyone that has looked over this car would attest to that.

Thanks again for your time Bob, you didn't have to do that. You have just spent $16,000 or so of my money. :P

Good too see you liked the car.

Well i built it so its an example for people to copy and experience 8)

Ill see you on the road with your new Box

How do you feel spending $17,000 of my own money. Jerk : P.

Hi Bobby, enjoying the thread, tech goes over my head but all good.

Have you had the final tune yet, love to see the results and hope you get what you were after. Looks great :wub:

I am going for response and would be pissed if my build takes 3 months, buy the parts and have someone stuff it under the bonnet and hope for the best :yes: But nothing like the effort you have put into this car :woot:

You can sell it now and start all over again,haha :action-smiley-069:

Finally made the time to read every page of this thread thanks to G20 long weekend.

Bobby I am probably not alone in saying it would be really appreciated if you could close this build thread out with an update on how everything turned out.

Thats way it is available outside of your Facebook page and easier for people to search/find.

Thanks in advance

    • Way more than 1cm. Appreciate the advice maybe I try changing the bushing first
    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • 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.
