Federal Tyres Splitting!
Duncan replied to grygtr's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
I've used these for a couple of years on my stagea (circuit and road), and 350z (circuit, motorkhana skids and road) without any problems. might be a bad batch, might be bad luck...either way I would not accept anything but replacement or refund. -
no idea about the "vipec momentary inputs"....try searching for "link momentary inputs"
-
yeah if its just centre there are lots of options. I run standard diff with shims in my race car for about $500. who the hell breaks an r200 (except Mark, at Targa Tas, yesterday)
-
you have way too much rear camber for any use, let alone a road car. use the adjustable arms to get it back to about 1.5o your existing rear toe arms are already adjustable, they are used from factory to manage toe. no need for adjustable "traction" arm, it is only used to adjust bump steer for track use, even then most people buy them and then don't set them up properly

Duncan replied to dirtyRS4's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
I liked that so much I bought it. literally. it now plays tv on my dash. if anyone ever comes across an epson ej1 computer I will buy it. will happily sell my youngest son if required to fund it. he's a little bastard. -

Transfer Case / Front Diff Knock
Duncan replied to CeJay's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Hey Chris drop the front driveshaft out and see if that quietens it down. 4 bolts out she comes -
no the opposite unfortunately. Ayresy in his immaculate 400R stopped to help and Wwilfred cleaned him up in the borrowed Rx-8. Good to see all the R35s staying on the track including domonic from here. Hope I didn't just put the mocker on anyone. My guys have had mixed luck, Kel is going great in the R32 (or ATTKD special if you prefer) in 9th in Early Modern. Mark is running a wide body gtst since he had to pull the front drive shaft after a diff blow up - nowhere on the board but still having fun.

R33 Race Car Spring Rates.
Duncan replied to tarmac's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
sounds way too stiff to me. what tracks or do you mean for tarmac rally? -
is he really going to pull the sump off? that's a shitload of work, just pull the motor out.

lol did you sleep with the cheif scruit's daughter daughter or something harry? Smity42, just so you are aware when all of these rules talk about original car they mean something more like "model". So for R32 skylines for example you can log book the car as anything based off the R32 chasis like gtst, gts, gts4, gtr, n1 whatever. my car started life as a povo gtr and is now officially a Vspec II N1 according to cams . Not sure if that works for your alfa...but if possible you should stick to improved prod - categories everywhere for sprints/hillclimbs/racing and not as hard to get near the front as sports sedan. That advice only holds for non-turbo cars - to protect the old rust buckets, IPRA have made any turbo car as uncompetitive as possible by enforcing 38mm restrictors.

we had the exact same prblem and just rivetted the ally sheet to the floor.
-
as long as a manfacturer made 10 of a car it can run. mazda made 10x turbo rx8s. Same story with the ATTKD Select R SP that Kel is in. yes, and its now a very good replica of a cube. snowcone managed to lose no time at all with that off...the stage was downgraded to non-competitive after they crashed! I want to go in a lotto syndicate with him, I've never met anyone so lucky! Hope Chris is OK since it was his side

I had the bonnet and boot struts regassed on my C34 years ago and they are still going strong, under $200 for the lot. I did check with nissan first, they had no more boot struts and bonnet ones were about 600 a pair. Also be careful with aftermarket replacements, nissan use unusual/non standard upper and lower mounts (ie better engineered than ford or holden's ones). Supercheap etc only cover the local stuff

Who Can Comply Figaro's?

So Many Torque Split Controller...!
Duncan replied to cobrAA's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
the best ones around are from Paul Ruzic (mountainrunner on here). Or a custom setup if you have some genuinely unique requirement like a $500k time attack car. the local ebay ones are $15 of variable resistors that cost $250....steer clear! I have no idea about the skylab ones but I would be very surprised if they did even half of what the Ruzic ones do. -
R32 Gtr Removing The Sump Without Lifting The Engine Out- Help!
Duncan replied to OLLIE_NZ's topic in General Maintenance
yes there are guides....i but not from me! I've only ever dealt with the push ones. just try a search of "pull clutch remove" or similar -
Thanks Greg for your help, Mark has decided to grab some driveshafts out of Melb instead because we know that will all fit together OK.
-
or....almost as good.....a set of r33 gtr half shafts (non-vspec) that we can grab in melbourne tomorrow....
-
Hey guys, Mark has diff problems and we really need to try and sort it tonight. Does anyone in tassie have a 4.4 diff with a mechanical centre? Give me a bell on 0419 634 674 if you can help out.

R32 Gtr Removing The Sump Without Lifting The Engine Out- Help!
Duncan replied to OLLIE_NZ's topic in General Maintenance
welcome! you should drop by the motorsport section, there are plenty of people with dedicated track and rally cars there Bloody oath it would be! If you have a winch to hold the motor up you have a winch to pull the motor out! Anyway, behind the flywheel there are are 4x M6 bolts from the rear main to the sump. Unless you are feeling really keen and want to drill access holes for a 1/4" 10mm socket, the flywheel has to come off. And to get that off the gearbox has to come out. which way does the rod on the clutch slave cylinder face? If it points forward you have a pull type clutch and you have to release the fork from the trust bearing before you can pull the box off. If the clutch slave faces rear you have push type and the gearbox should slide straight off. You will probably need to remove the tailshaft and attessa line to move the gearbox far enough to get at the flywheel. Don't forget to bleed attessa when you put it all back together. For next time, removing the motor is a much smaller job than what you are doing now.....disconnect gear box, remove intake above the turbs, undo front pipes, undo wiring on the intake side and top of motor, pull DSF driveshaft out, remove front intermediate shaft, radiator hoses, oil cooler lines if applicable. Fair bit less work than doing the whole subframe -
Hi Ryan, try a search for pineapples in the Suspension section, there is a lot of discussion.
