I start a new job on the 24th, and car is set up for nulon nats drags on the 26th. Wakefield eventually though!

Today I got road tyres fitted, installed a EBC and set it up to run 14psi and 19psi as the scramble boost setting.

Also installed a passenger seat.

good job on the steering previous page

today I put in new door locks, boot lock and will get the new ign barrel put in soon at Johns

decided to cut and use the Nismo key on my gtr32, so it deserved complete set of new locks

I opened up my bonnet and heard what sounds like a exhaust leak..close the bonnet and drove to the shops lol

That makes two of us haha.. Did pretty much the same thing!

  • 2 weeks later...

That is so cool!!

I replaced my exhaust manifold gasket because of a leak, got a new turbo gasket thanks to Shiv. Also discovered a manifold stud snapped in the head thanks to previous owners.. Tapped out and all fixed. Just to put it all back together tomorrow! :)

1.5 way diff installed thank you Canberra Import Spares! Was doing figure 8s out at Harrison playing fields car park breaking in the diff when the cops showed up on reports of a skyline doing donuts.

I had a chat to them for a few minutes and they had a laugh when picked up on what I was doing - no skid marks and tyres in good condition. Told me not to have too much fun and left me to continue. Nice blokes!

Dropped the rear end to swap back to an s13 subframe. Have to get cv boots replaced and the diff looked at, one of the stubs doesn't lock in.

And of course one of the driveshafts is stuck in the hub so the whole lot has to go to Craig Hall to be fixed.

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
