i had a moment when drifting last weekend, handbrake got jammed up when doing the new link section at the creek, scared the shit out me! so im going hydro so itl never happen again.

this is what i got. hopefully have it all mounted by the weekend

[ydr030]

havent had a chance to fit the hydro up yet, diff needed to be re done again...

thought while its out may as well go solid diff mount and raise the diff to hopefully put less stress on the cvs.

Brae worked his magic again and made up these set for me, stoked will how good they turned out!

I was trying to get a before and after shot but forgot. still kind of gives you and idea

not much of a update but im chasing a noise in the rear end, i think its the diff again, but i need to rule a few things out before i can go back to the diff shop with a solid arguement. really pissed off about the whole thing.

anyway enough winging, im doing all bearings and thought if im going to go that far i may aswell do the brakes.

so typical DR30 u cannot get parts, ive ended up using a z31 disc with 5mm caliper spacers. and s15 pads.

funny thing is always bugs me these are 290mm dia. fronts are 280mm lol

will be upgrading fronts in the future

I'm not sure how bad yours is but putting a solid diff mount in mine took me from not hearing any diff noise to being all I can hear!

[ydr030]

yea cheers man, i no the mount will make it louder this noise isnt good. i basically got the diff done drove it up the road and came home and parked it. ive drained the diff oil and its all shiny ( if that makes sense) so thats why i think the diff shop stuffed up with the bearings. gotta go throu all the bs before i can do anything about it. like i said im pissed off.

Knew I'd seen the car before.

Farking horn car brah.

[ydr030]

^ cheers mate, yea my life is complete now lol

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

Fark!

[N1GTR]

"fu(ked" is the technical term

[Tai1or Made]

That'll buff out for sure.

[ydr030]

^ haha yea was pretty f*ked ! Diff shop came to the party and hooked me up with free labour. All the 4.11 s I could find were to expensive so have gone to z31 with 3.7 s. Haven't done any real drifting but lower ratio seems to be the goods. Hanging to do skids

[ydr030]

finally fitted up hydro! still needs some fine tuning but so far so good, thing is so good! hanging to propally try it out

also moved oil cooler down to right hand front of the bar, its only temporary now until i make up a proper bash bar

[ydr030]

went out to the skid pan last saturday, just to try everything out, hydro is amazing! diff ratio seems o.k, just hanging for dry skids to propally see how she goes

hit a witches hat, munted the bar

took the oppertunity to fix up the rest of the bar, first time that ive done any fibreglassing, turned out ok

[Tai1or Made]

Give me your car.

[ydr030]

Large double cheeseburger meal and its yours lol

[Tai1or Made]

[ydr030]
