  1. You'll die of a broken heart... or shame... or consumption.
  2. Manual R34 GTT diff is 4.111 I have had R34 GTT and R32 GTR diff housings in my car. I have got R32 GTR hubs and drive shafts in my GTT. This leads me to believe that R32 to R34 is basically the same. I know that's not a perfect answer but it's all I got.
  3. The Toyo Tyres Show 'n' Shine is on soon and we need more entrants. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=168817 What's your excuse?
  4. Haha, good point Tim! Can I just point out that we currently have 24 entries. If this low attendance keeps up we will all get 2 prizes each. I know we live in the age of spontaneous action but it takes a lot to put this event on and we need heaps of entrants to make it work. I know there must be about a hundred of you thinking, oh yeah I'll probably enter. Get to it!! please
  5. I have so ner. Not in a turbo car though. Off the line the shorter ratio will always (bar uncontrollable wheelspin) be quicker but at certain speeds the short ratio will pick up quicker and at other speeds the longer ratio will be quicker. Using the most extreme example to illustrate. Let's say about 80km/h in 2nd gear rolling race. The 2 cars are identical but one has a short diff and the other a longer one. Both cars boot it. The shorter diffed car moves ahead as it is putting out more power due to being higher in the rev range but in a very short time it hits redline and has to change gear. When it does so the longer diffed car still has more rpm to go and surges ahead. Now it depends entirely on where the race ends as to who wins. If it ends while the longer diffed car is in the top part of each gear it will win but if it ends while it's in the lower part of the gear it will lose. So my conclusion is that shorter ratios get you off the line quicker but it all depends on the length of the race. If instead of a quarter mile it was 3 miles who would win?
  6. While I'm generally confused by this thread here is a pic of my Nismo 1 way. It locks up very easily and strongly.
  7. I fully respect your opinions pretty much always cubes but I just can't believe that you could be slower when already moving with a taller diff. Or increased lag and decreased response for that matter. Just for a second, divorce from your mind what it felt like and think about it logically. Compare your boost threshold in 1st gear to that of 4th gear. Boost comes on earlier in 4th. Now that's a big obvious difference but apply it in a much smaller difference - the difference between your two diff ratios. Why would it go the opposite way?
  8. Only because a turbo change involves oil and water lines which = coolant and oil on the grass which = us getting our arses kicked by Parramatta council. Yes. Yes.
  9. First post updated. Only 13 spots left. Neil thanks mate. All hands on deck.
  10. I just tested the PDF and it works. Try again. Ahh I don't think there will be any changing of turbos on the day. Make it happen. Better yet, enter now and then you will feel obliged. It's much better for us if you pre-enter. We will probably have an unnofficial best N/A prize.
  11. It's off! Details to be advised.
  12. I love Melbourne. I wouldn't say the girls are better looking but I would say that they are more friendly. All the people are. Much less competetive. You can easily drive around without a map. Lot's of straight lines. I used to regularly fly down for weekends with mates I met out and about. They would all come up to Sydney for a weekend out (about 2-8 of them) and we would go down there the next weekend. Revolver FTW! (yes I realise what you Melbournians think of me now.)
  13. We might just have a less formal category for V35's. No trophy as such (cos we've already put the order in) but Sliding Performance would be happy to sponsor it.
  14. Parramatta is very close and there are heaps of hotels there.
  15. All help is welcomed.
  16. Time to change your name to DoughMan man. :D :D

  17. If you are for real you will crash your car for sure on the track. When was the last time you bled the brakes? They sound completely f**ked. You shouldn't even be driving it on the street.
  18. I think bleeding the brakes is the single most important thing you should do before a track day.
  19. How much for the little girl? The women! I want to buy your women!
  20. Another one joins the bike brigade.
  21. bad luck man. Yeah lucky you left enough room in front. That's what happened to Ed's R34. Hit behind same way but pushed into car in front. Write off.
