  1. There's some data on Aki's blog from MotorFan:

    http://www.r33gt-r.com/2013/04/r33-gt-r-aerodynamics-part-2.html

    Rear Spoiler Angle and Aerodynamics:

    Spoiler Angle/ CD / CLF / CLR
    0 degrees / 0.35 / 0.09 / -0.03
    6 degrees / 0.36 / 0.10 / -0.07
    12 degrees/ 0.37 / 0.10 / -0.10
    18 degrees/ 0.39 / 0.10 / -0.14
    CD = Coefficient of Drag; CLF = Coefficient of Lift, Front; CLR = Coefficient of Lift; Rear

  2. Hi All.

    I'm looking at a BNR32 and the VIN/build plate has been removed by the importer. He reinstalled it but lost one of the little rivet-like things and has ordered a new one from Nissan.

    He says he removed it because when he degreases the engine bays the degreaser strips the blue paint/coating from the VIN plate.

    Does anyone see any truth in this?

  3. Selling a used BNR32/BCNR33/BNR34 GT-R ATS&ACROSS Carbon 1.5-way LSD.

    I bought this with the intention to use it in my Silvia but I ran out of time and never got round to buying a matching set of GTR driveshafts and hubs to go with it. Hence it has been sitting in my garage in an oiled bag unused since.

    For those who don't know, these are the absolute best LSDs available in the Japanese market. They are used on many top-level time-attack cars such as the Revolution, R-Magic and RE Amemiya RX-7s, Tomei S15, Amuse/Autobacs/ASM S2000s, etc. They don't chatter like metal LSDs, last way longer, are more predictable and provide faster times.

    Some info from ATS:

    Principal characteristics of the Carbon LSD

    - More than twice the differential lock strength of metal LSDs
    - Quiet operation without chattering noise
    - More than twice the differential lock strength of metal LSDs
    - Low initial drag resistance and durability that is more than 5 times greaterthan metal
    - Acceleration control range more than 10 times that of metal LSDs
    - More than 30 times the thermal decomposition resistance of metal LSDs
    - More than 70 times the service life of metal LSDs
    - Gentle transitional characteristics that yield ease of handling from free to lock
    - Small degree of slipping which provide a greater flexibility
    - Super durable
    - Stable differential lock performance which is unaffected by oil temperature changes
    - The performance of carbon LSD is not influenced by a choice of LSD oil
    - Very high adaptability to many LSD oils from different manufacturers

    Carbon LSD is recommended for those who suffer from the following problems.

    - I can not pass through the clipping point ideal corner entry.
    - I want to quickly open the accelerator at the rising edge of the corner.
    - Control of under-over is difficult at the rising edge of the corner.
    - oil temperature rises there is no durable for use at low initial.
    - Time-up can not be time is not stable.
    - How do I get rid of noise of LSD
    - You want to keep as natural as possible handling

    Reliability

    ATS ran their demo S15 for 65,000km around the clock around mountain roads over six months. When they pulled down the LSD the plates still had near-new thickness and the torque of the LSD was still near-new.

    "The ATS demo R34 GT-R has 140,000km on the current LSD, but the LSD is working beautifully with only oil changes. We think it can go for 200,000 to 300,000 km since there is no detectable deterioration in performance."

    Someone please buy this and put it to good use as it's useless sitting my garage.

    Located in Glen Waverley, VIC.

    Asking $900ono delivered anywhere in Australia.

  4. Pretty interested, need a 1.5way mech lsd for my daily S15. So I would need to source GTR driveshafts and hubs as well? And they'll slot into an S15 fine? Sorry just trying to work out the total stuff I need.

    Spot on. It'll be incredibly strong once you source those components and bolt it all into a Silvia. No need for the rest of the GTR bits as the S15 has the better subframe and the diff gears/casing are similar.

    Please note that this is an LSD centre only and the half shafts pictured are for information purposes only. If you need them for your application we can work something out.

  6. Brand new S13/S14/S15/R33/R34 5-Stud adjustable length front LCAs with roll centre adjustment and USA-made rod ends.

    Adjustable in length up to +30mm or so for extra track, camber or to facilitate extra lock. Relocate the pivot point of the LCA by ~15mm to bring your roll centre back up and help with handling dramatically (especially for drifting).

    Come with spare American-made Midwest Control Rod-Ends for longevity.

    Asking $300.

    Located in Glen Waverley, VIC but will ship anywhere in Australia via courier at buyer's expense.

    PM me or SMS 0423 eight hundred 325.
