and even more motivation!

im aiming for three weeks be running again, still need to fix diff and the rack and some other things i forgot, hopefully soon,

  • 2 weeks later...

yea, so im sick of paying the diff place to re do the diff, and since they wouldnt help me out with price even after ive been there more than 10 times with the thing (end rant) i did a small bit of research, spoke to tim wilkins and he was more than happy to help me out, so im doing it myself!! ahh feel better now!!

shits apart

2i06eiq.jpg

so when i pulled it apart found there attempt at making a shim!

all 4 of the phillips heads that held the hemi where all munted so changing them to allen key cap screws

yea so there piece of tin was .3mm

spoke to brae and we figured out .6mm should be the go! thanks again !

so from what i found if u use a .5mm shim your preload would be around 75/80fpds, i want 95/100 so hopefully itl obviuosly lock hard but as it wears will take longer to start opening up.

im still not finishined so this is in experiment mode, tim reckons i wont need them, but ill wait and see when i get the new plates from him,

also to help me with my memory /others out later

(( 1|1|1 centre 1|1|1))

yea so 14 plates total.

doing it your self = knowing exactly whats been done to it :)

i'm not too sure how these diff's work although be sure to take the back lash into account, so once you shim it up test the backlash and see if it needs adjusting.

after shimming my r200 into a locker the backlash is crap and low rpms are annoying, i just cant be stuffed changing the backlash shims just yet lol

thats it! and if i f**k it up i only have myself to blame! hahah but yea backlash should be fine since i only pulled out centre??

Nice choice of fuel system, same as mine. I made a under car surge tank to keep it all nice and neat.

haha steve ! looks like im heading the right way! man ive dummy fitted the carter pump, sux that it has to be mounted upright, kinda limits positions

yea ok so im no diff expert, but after talking to someone who is, i found out that these type of lsds shouldnt be shimmed! it basicallly just makes it a locker and completley stuffs up how the lsd plates work/lock up.

so the only way to get preload is to add another spring plate so, it will have 6 spring plates instaed of four.

((( |1|1 centre 1|1|)))

ive done mine like this with the best springs i had, so trail and error at moment, basically i should have just got a kaaz years ago

so when i was torqueing up the crown bolts, i snapped one, im blamming the amount of use they have had, so upgraded to 11.1 allen key. much better than stock, and look pretty.

also when trying to find main cap specs, this came up on search engine, haha

thats it! and if i f**k it up i only have myself to blame! hahah but yea backlash should be fine since i only pulled out centre??

so true!

i ment short nose r200 r33 diff, the back lash shims are just behind the crown wheel and you unbolt the center into two bits and install the shims with in, so safe bet is its completely different diff from what your describing

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
