Dropped her down and rolled her out onto the driveway for a much needed wash.  Jacked her back up this morning and managed to get another 1L of oil into the trans and bolted the tailshaft back in

Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down

Last pieces to the puzzle :D Brothers car broke down last week so I have been dailying the skyline, so couldn't pull it apart. Hopefully this weekend I'll get some time and have a good crack at the rear end and then send her in for an alignment.

Finally some progress! Decided I wanted my diff in for Roll Racing this Saturday at Queensland Raceway, so I got cracking this arv and whipped her out with a little bit of swearing.... Off to the diff shop tomorrow arvo and then I'll get back under her and pull the subframe out and go to town changing the new bushes over!

Got this bad boy in last week ready for roll racing on saturday night.. She still skates a bit through second but still a big improvement, definitely need to get the rest of the rear end in and get an alignment.. Heading out to Circuit & Coffee in the morning so will see how she does there.

Depending if I have holidays or not over easter, I might pull the head off and get it reco'd and drop the new gear in and try track down a Link G4+ and get it Tuned!

Nice progress! I think im gonna follow the same path as you and eventually get a good LSD whilst doing the rear end bushes at the same time.

Hows does the nismo feel with day to day driving?

Yeah definitely worth it! 

It's good, only thing is in carparks it wants to shudder and hop but if you ride the clutch in and out its ok.

Went down to the drags last night for a spin to see what difference the diff makes! The consistency is there now! Still a little bit of wheel spin and lots of axle tramp. So starting to put the rest of the rear end in today and get it aligned asap and I'll head back down and hopefully crack the 11s.. Still hit my PB last night with a 12.10

Will upload slips when my phone starts working....

Here's some from Circuit & Coffee the other week.

Here's my drag slips from the other night!

Little bit of progress on the rear end! Got the subframe out sweet, shittest part was doing the handbrake lines... Will be fun putting my brakes back together...

IMG_20170421_2947_zpsyrle1roo.jpg

 

Had a closer look at it and the new poly bushes I put in have already shit themselves and one top completely missing.. Have another set ready to put in, hopefully they don't f**k out...

Hicas Eliminator was surprisingly not too bad, would have been a lot easier doing it on the car cause the subframe was moving around when I was pressing the old joints out.

Decided I cbf with the bushes so pulled it apart and took my subframe down to fulcrum and let them deal with it :D Will have it back on Monday ready to shove back under the beast!

So Superpro were really good and sent me out new bushes! Hopefully these ones will be ok. Also bought a camber lockout kit for the rear, thought I may as well do everything while I'm in there. 

IMG_20170428_5121_zps5droqbke.jpg

 

Subframe all installed with new bushes and Hicas Eliminator Kit installed yesterday, also installed diff and put it all back together :D

IMG_20170428_56613_zpsju1oa6fa.jpg

 

Had these tie rod ends sitting here for ages and never got around to changing them.... Could say the old ones were a little bit worn out :P Goes in for a wheel alignment in the morning, super keen to see how she drives after it!

I'm heaps envious of your subframe bushes. What ones did you decide to go with?

I went with whiteline ones as they were the cheapest I could find. Well known brand as well. 

I think the next upgrade in that department will be sway bars I think. But I wanna do my head first.

So wheel alignment is fantastic (thanks to dose pipe)! Hooks up well and corners a lot better. Took her out to the strip again last night to try crack 11s... Was maybe 10 cars running all night so had a good amount of runs. Was playing around with the suspension and tyre pressures but only to run 12.199-12.4. Then tried a little less throttle off launch and less clutch slip and cracked an 11.994! My mates time to beat was 11.920. Did another run and missed 3rd so canned it. Next run after that pulled an 11.926! So close to beating him.. Did another run and missed 3rd again. Last run of the night and managed to pull this out!

Super happy with how it went. Still has more to go if i throw some drag radials on and get the launch down pat! Dunno if I wanna go drag radials now or do my head work!?!?!

Well done, congrats on the 11emoji106.png. I vote drag radials, see how quick it will go with current powers, then add cams and maybe a shot of nos emoji43.png

Cheers man! Yeah I think I'm leaning toward that. I needa find a second set of wheels first.. Thinking maybe a set of 33 GTR wheels with 245/45r17s or another set that will fit 275s on them. Dunno if I need 275 drag radials though...

Congrats on getting into the 11s, I really really really struggle to get a good 60ft normally in the 2s which isn't that great. Do you have any recommendations to get the times down?

Mine was always in the 2s before Wednesday night! Then with new alignment and bushes did my first 1.9 and 1.8.

I actually was slipping the clutch too long and it was just hitting full boost and spinning the tyres. So I slip it quick to get off the line and then it kinda bogs and then off we go. I can only go about 3/4 throttle off the line otherwise it still axle tramps like a mofo. I will upload the video after work today. 

I ran my RS3's at 16psi aswell. I also did that on coilovers set almost fully soft.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
