Hey Guys,

Would you be able to recommend any workshops that specialise in the R32 GTR / RB26 in the USA? For engine building, maintenance and dyno tuning

Location does not matter.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

I can't really say there's a shop known to "specialize" in RBs here in the US. They're pretty rare over here since Skylines weren't legal until recently. RB swaps are more common but still few and far between.

I know of a few shops with RB experience on the West Coast and a couple on the East. It would be easier to answer your question if you specified a region of the States since as I said there really isn't a particular shop renowned for RB tuning. R35 GT-Rs I can rattle off good shops till you die of boredom, R32s not so much.

You guys don't have good sr tuners around? I'm sure someone that has dabbled in imports or the 240sx that you have over there would be able to find their way around a 32.

Imagine if someone went over and made a dedicated skyline workshop. Probably make a killing with the influx of rb's coming in.

The SR20 was never offered here from the factory either so any cars with them are swaps. The 240SX here came with the KA24 which is basically a truck engine lol. There are lots of shops that can suss out both the SR and RB but very few that can really be said to specialize in them. There's plenty of SR and RB swapped cars here but compared to the huge number of cars with factory powerplants - VG, VQ, VR, etc - they're a very small fraction so most shops specialize in the more common ones and do the oddball imports on the side.

      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.
