Car will be back out shaking off the cob webs from WTAC 2014 soon.

Replacing gear, engine and brake fluids is the first point on the agenda.

I'm still deciding on the aero department, so the car will be out as is from last year to start with.

Will target changes for May in time to testing before NSW Time Attack in June.

Cage is all painted, might need a bit of a tidy up before WTAC so it looks pretty. Dash is back in, with the cluster. Cleaned up a bit of ugly stereo, turbo timer, alarm system wiring while I was at

Great build thread mate, love the simple DIY work, I can appreciate that more then someone spending tonnes of cash.

I've seen the car in action a few times along the way, will have to say hi next time I see the car around :)

It's been quiet on the car front recently with the mistress spending some time with another man at McQueen Motorsport / Hoppers Stoppers.

With the car faster than 40% of the open class field at World Time Attack Challenge last year and the oldest car in the top 10 of club sprint, the cage was a self imposed requirement.

I'm never going to be happy with the performance and will always want more out of it. The recent track day at Phillip Island highlighted a few major areas to ...work on to get more time out of it. Bigger brakes all round, more aero performance among them. The budget won't stretch as far to solve these areas this year, we are just going to have to find the time elsewhere.

Entry for the big event this year is $1,000 alone plus travel, accom etc. There is a very big question now IF I'm going to sign up at all.

Thanks for everyone's support thus far MOTUL Australia - Cars, Chequered Tuning, Tao Shangguan and everyone else that has helped.

The seat mount has been customised by the guys, so the height of the bar is a little misleading. It's not as easy to get in as before that's for sure.

I have only jumped in and out of mine a few times since its been finished and its not a pretty sight :laugh:

Not sure what is worse, getting in or getting out...

Do those A pillar bars restrict your view in any way?

Like you, I've only sat in it a couple of times. I haven't noticed any restriction to the view yet.

Trimming the dash and re-fitting the window over the next week and at the track on the 4th. So will be a good test.

Awesome mate! Look forward to hearing how you go...

      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.
