Hi All quick intro been kick around on and off this forum for close to 5yrs. 

Car in its previous iteration was as follows. 

Basic built 26, drop in cams, head studs etc, oil pump etc. 

Os88 sequential (now removed and moved on)

Emtron kv8 controlled with a plethora of sensors. 

Now for the fun bit, I am currently working through a 8HP conversion with a kit from HPR. 

I'll throw some photos up of everything but I have created a IG just to make it easier to upload photos.

Noice. I've got the 8HP70 in my SQ5 and I thoroughly love it. The programmability of the gearbox has me wanting to do the 8HP75 conversion one day. Been following the stuff 8Speed AU have been doing, including the e-clutch. So cool!

Would definitely go an 8HP over a sequential if I get to the point where the power needs it.

Yea that was my reasoning in going to the 8hp from the sequential. The sequential was fun to drive hard but when cruising was a bit clunky.

Having had a self-built 6hp in my falcon(800hp) before the gtr was mint, cruise around none the wiser but plant it and hang on... bit of Jekyll and Hyde.

Are you going to use the Turbo Lamik TCU? That’s what I’ve been eyeing off.

You might want to have a read through this if you haven't paid for the HTG yet.

Thanks, I've seen quite a few mixed reports on HTG. He seems to be working through the issues raised and from what I can see he probably should have worked through the beta a bit more before releasing. 

I've just been shown these which I'll definitely be keeping any eye on considering it's Australian made and supported if my gearbox doesn't turn up before they're released.

Near 12mths since the last update apologies. 

Car is back running and driving. 

Have had a few runs at the drag strip also with a bit of success. 

Managed to run tje cars PB with a 10.88 @139mph with a 2.0 60ft. 

I have a stock 8hp converter and it's definitely too tight for my setup. But it drives on the street phenomenal. So happy to have converted from the sequential. Has made the car enjoyable to drive vs a what felt like a chore with the sequential. 

Looking a at few different options for converters waiting for some feedback from SDE if he can do one for me. 

Still a few minor things to work out regarding finalising torque reduction, I have it working but needs to refining.

      R34 Diff oil

      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.
