A few of my mates (that decided not to be a tight arse) installed Nismo 1.5 ways into their S15s (3x of them in total) and I can tell you they all drive so nice. Gentle engagement, locks and unlocks when you need it. U-Turns (at low speeds) don't end in violent wheel chatter or hopping. Meanwhile, me being a tight arse, opted for a KAAZ 2-way. It feels like I have a welded diff half the time lol... eventually got the shits, and took the diff to Smithfield Diff & Gearbox and asked them dumb it down a bit and rebuild the stupid thing. It's much better now lol.

NZ R33 Long Term Build
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to R3N3's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
That's fantastic, when my OEM fan/clutch dies again, the lot is going into the bin and I'll get the same kit as yours! I'll probably however adapt a Volvo or similar OEM SSR and PWM the fan. Would be super porno as it ramps it and out vs. coolant temp and/or vehicle speed. Pure sex. -

I totally get this, with the MK2 Tiguan. Get into the R33 and it feels like a croc of shit. -

Congrats! How does it feel on the street? -
Jesus, someone forgot to use loctite and torque down the bolts properly? (I'm assuming the diff shop did it)

Billet Blocks - Oiling ?
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Butters's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Nitto brought out a wide journal bearing crank (apparently you just use 2JZ bearings) to "fix" the issue. You get a RB26 crank, get it to come on super earning with V-Cam or VCT, modern turbo, ram in heaps of boost/timing and it will thrash bearings and bin a motor. Even Jim from CRD back in the early days said he always ran soft timing in the mid range to stop bearings chewing themselves up. -
MCA vs. Broscience Dose. We now have 13kg/mm on the driver side, will do the passenger side soon. Also decided to raise it a tiny bit, might raise it a bit more after a quick lap around the block when I finish the passenger side.

@Kinkstaah I'm by all means no Max Verstappen or Checo Perez, I'm just an Asian that drives better than most Asians 😂 T1 I'm ok at SMSP, it's T2 and T8 I'm feeling the effects of the pitch and have actually bounced off the bump stops (smashing the brakes doesn't help either lol). @Piggaz I've actually shifted my entire subframe closer to the body, the LCAs now point downwards (closer to OEM geometry) and the entire HICAS junk, including the ball joints have been all deleted. I used to run total 4mm toe in to combat the toe out on squat, however now I don't need to, so it only has 2mm toe in. @Duncan I've extended the traction rods by 15mm, which has reduced the car kicking out when power is put down around a turn. Somewhat I don't have an issue with traction or the car kicking out sideways like 95% of the RWD Nissans you see. It just hooks and takes off, even with street tyres and 437kW at the back. The main "issue", if you even want to call it an issue, is the pitching due to the weight shift. At Wakefield it didn't seem to be much of a problem, but at SMSP you really notice it as you're going into turns at greater speeds @ActionDan been waiting for more development on your car! Yeah I've been following that Track Racer Australia group, good learnings from them too.

Yeah, Whiteline are great at marketing things you don't need. I fell for the whole get the front and rear anti roll bar package bullshit (incorrectly called sway bars) theory, just made the car twitchy as shit! Especially when you're going hard into a corner and there's not enough spring rate and you bounce off the bump stops then you're off the track!
-
Sure thing! So throwing around ideas with MCA's tech support and @34GeeTeeTee and we all agreed that I needed to bump up the spring rate at the front of the car, especially with it now predominantly being used at SMSP. Handling wise, it is somewhat quite neutral and does what I command, however on hard braking it does tend to pitch forward quite a bit and cause the rear end to unsettle. Not what you want on a fast track like SMSP. So yeah, going from 10kg/mm now to 13kg/mm. Will then set the front anti roll bar onto the softest setting (should have just kept the stock one to be honest. Whiteline and their marketing team are great at what they do, market things.) (My personal opinion) it's better to adjust body roll with spring rate & dampers and only use anti roll bars to fine tune how the car rotates. They shouldn't be the primary device to improve handling. Anyhow, turns out Matt had a set of 13kg/mm he didn't need so I took them off his hands (thanks brah). They have been sitting at the same spot for the past 2 weeks lol. I have another track night booked 11th of July, better get off my arse lol.

Run very soft timing in the mid range to reduce bearings getting thrashed. Once you make peak torque, then ram it in like you're pounding a .... -
OR go full out: RB30DET Samsonas BBK Mechanical LSD Full re-wire, traction setup, the works Or just buy a fast modern RWD turbo like a M2 Comp.

And shit beer, shit beef, shit people lol.
