Hello Evan, That sounds quite alarming, like a knocking. From what I have observed helper springs sound more like a solid grouped chiming than a knock. Ride in the second vid looks quite harsh, (maybe exaggerated from one hand video) have you checked the dampening rate of the rear passenger strut? Really nice car though, hope you and JRZ figure it out.

Really? Do they have a bad reputation in Norway?

Eh, what was this thread about again?

Came to check out the car. Strangely intrigued by the laundry. Where can I get some of that gourmet xúc xích pâté? Sullivan's Cove, quite difficult to come by. How is it compared to the French Oak? Looks fancy.

Would you consider a front cut engine swap?

My bad. Is terrible joke, Comrade. I've heard cats can be quite restrictive but it looks like nothing will get past that dog.

What brand of cat converter is that?

Yeoboseyo! Nice one! Welcome to the forums.

Well done, glad you managed to figure it out. Was just about to edit an post this to help.

Hello _scott, I got stuck on this too because it's hard to see how the tabs interlock. It's true, pacel shelf is push towards rear windscreen to disengage from c pillar, push down to dismount. It's a snug fit and parcel shelf may be a bit brittle in its age. Keep us updated on the progress and if you think you need pics for reference I can have a look through my files. Good luck.

More than welcome, David. I used to watch RCR alot when it was new, haven't seen this vid. I see he's got a much more casual style of editing now. Back to topic on hand. I'm no expert and I've never seen a quick shift in action but if I had to guess I would say that is a short shifter. I'm basing this assumption on: 1. Length and comfort of throw, 2. No perceivable transmission noise of vibration, 3. Shaft is black instead of chrome, 4. Passenger stating "Nismo short shift" at 1:19 I could be totally wrong though... Ben may have a more thorough understanding.

Hello David, To address the initial question, the solid shifter a subtle upgrade to the stock shifter. It feels nicer and for the small outlay I think it is definitely worth it. As discussed above, it's not a performance based upgrade, but it makes the experience of driving a bit more refined. In this circumstance not marketing BS, description is pretty accurate.

Great video!

Hello Barker, Welcome to the forums! Great pics of Fujisan, I can't believe the view you had from the base. Man, I miss Japan. Are the APCs for the weekdays and the GTR the weekend? ?

Hello Blakeo, This is probably the most important part of the question. I can't speak for Kaaz equipment but living with a 1.5 way diff is definitely noticeable. Alot of people say that it is impractical for street, personally I don't really mind but it does get embarrassing when you're carting around the inlaws etc. What annoys me about street driving a locking LSD is the wear when you try to compromise for driving compliance. Wear on tyres, wear on clutch, wear on diff. Power delivery, especially through turns become so much more affirmative than a worn out VLSD. Also you may need to factor in cost of installation and maintenance. Mechanical LSDs need alot more attention than the VLSD - periodic oil changes and eventual rebuilds. First 500km wear in period is quite harsh though. Hope this gives some insight and helps you make a well thought out decision.

Love this opening, enjoy.

Hello Joe, I'm really keen to know aswell since HKS GT-RS kit for RB25 have been discontinued. I was seriously considering picking up the Tomei Arms due to it being one of the only bolt on turbo kits still available from a Japanese tuning house but read not so promising feedback on the units. Good link, alot of product info. I don't really understand turbo specs. Can someone help interpret the turbine, compressor wheel figures and trim? What is it comparable with Garret catalogue? Their naming convention seems more straight forward. Billet compressor wheels are a good feature but ball bearings are generally more favourable than journals. Hope it turns out to be a ripper turbo though, please tell us how it goes.

So good!

I don't know why but I can't get enough of these ads! Duriving body des!

This vid has a Nissan spokesperson discussing aspects of Sedan, predominantly driving feel and chassis development. Kind of reminds me of how Best Motoring used to interview owners of tune shops. Youtube close caption translate gives a gist of what's being discussed, not amazing though.

Nice pics, very interesting break. I'm no expert but it looks like metal fatigue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)#/media/File:Tender_fatigued_axle.JPG If the replaced driveshaft was a used part a contributing factor could be that the unit was repeatedly loaded beyond its intended limit during its lifetime aswell. Similar to when you bend a paper clip at the same point until it eventually snaps. Dark, corroded void near surface looks like it may also be a manufacturing defect but that's just assumption, could be just oil stain. As to why coincidently passenger drive shaft failure may be to do with how the differential is transferring load, similar to how an open differential spins one tyre under certain conditions. May only be far fetched and theoretical but hope this contributes to the discussion.
