Wow.

Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread.

It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovations and getting married. The 32 went on the back burner.

After Campbell crashed it in June 2013 the only event it did was SAU Nationals in SA. I actually won the motorsport side of the event which I was pretty happy with.

Only change to the car was a new front bar and diffuser. I also fitted an Accusump oil accumulator under the dash to fix oil surge problems. Despite having a winged and baffled sump it still needed it.

After that event, my mate grabbed the diff for his car and it's not moved at all since. Currently the rear subframe is out of it ready for an R33 subframe and GTR diff and shafts. Hoping to get it ready for SAU nats this year and I need to get back to PI coz I haven't had a decent crack at it in it's current form.

I've attached some pics from 2013 SAU nats at Mallala and Collingrove hill climb.

Quite proud of the time I did at Mallala considering it was my first time. 1:14.63. Don't know of any other 2wd skylines that have done a time faster than that.

Haha we'll see, I'll be happy with a Deca and 1 x track day this year! Not sure about WTAC 2017, my times in 2012 would still get me 20th in Open class haha. Might be able to get it down to the 1:36's without too much work but I think Vic time attack and some SAU rounds would be good enough of a comeback.

Gee it's been a long time since I've logged in to SAU forums. Basically I did a motorkhana in Nov 2016 and blew 3rd gear. Wheeled it back into the shed and I haven't touched it since! I have all the bits to fix it but not time, I'll get to it....

Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox!

With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at Forced Motorworx, I have a gearbox again... It'll go back into the car soon and work on hitting the track again. Can't believe it's been another 2 years since I've driven it! Time flies!

I've also moved house and have my own shed, because of this I don't have a hoist anymore. Back to changing gearboxes on the floor...IMG_5551.thumb.JPG.f46d10f37b57fcfa7ecaa83a54e2c978.JPG

    • 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.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
