Hey Gary, Peter Williamson said to say "Hello" to you. He owns the local Cab Co. in Forster. He leant me some of his old racing tapes and you are mentioned and on video. LOL...he said you are a "bit of a blacksmith"..LOL. I think he said that affectionately.

Be careful Ken, there are a couple of us in motorsport, the one with 2 R's and an E is more familiar with PW than me. We did think of doing Bathurst together once just to confuse the commentators, particualrly the round man of sound. The Parsons, David and David, ended up doing it a few years afer we talked about it. But they had different nick names, made it too easy.

:P cheers :D

Agggg...that might be...I'll have to watch the video again and get the car number. I'm not sure if it was at Bathurst or a touring car or even an open wheeler, cause i watched heaps of Willow's tapes and he was driving all types of cars albeit Toyotas and the name G.C. was mentioned. I'll ask Willow to spell the name....lol and when Willow said G.C. was a "bit of a blacksmith"...lol I thought hmmm sounds like the one I know. Hey Gary...I have to say "Willow" brought the "In Car Commentary" way earlier than Dick Johnson....

Willow is a mad keen tennis player nowadays. If he loses he cuts out the strings and wants to know what made him hit so many bad shots....lol

    • But it's much better to use a freedom unit that has four different possible meanings...
    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
