Ive got the same problem.....its the worn transfer case.

Croydon's are modding one for us with extra clutch plates in it...worth a thought

Yeah, that's what I thought, (although the box was re-built before I got the car) but I pulled it down and it's all new inside. The front whels have no problem spining and it's a consistant rear wheel then front wheel spin. So...

Mate you've really got your thing really moving, I was never going to keep draging after I ran my 10, but it's tempting now....

By the way (somone mentioned somthing.....) I'm not workshop backed, I built the thing in my car port and is tuned by a local (Andrew Kutz/Pro Automotive).

well done xrated thats some awesome numbers for low mounts and stock bottom end, and home built is even better than all these business backed cars with piles of development and time/money poured into them. i have 100 times more respect for peoples cars who are actually done by the owner and not just cheque book racers.

(no im not having a go at anyone in particular with my comments, just the general car scene and all the braggers who done nuthing and paid someone else to do it then claim they built it and put in all the effort) :)

good luck in the future

Brad

well done!! go the low mounts!!

hmm thats got me thinkin! i,m not far off the mark.

i went out to the test & tune at willowbank last week and ran 11.1@135 mph with a 2.1 60 footer. on low mounts.

drove like a girl & wheels spun for two gears and didnt do a burn out( saving the tyres for the track day this weekend at wakefield, michelin pilots to expensive to burn up!!)

the best it's run time wise before that was 10.85@133 with a 1.85 60 footer, but power has increased since then hence the higher mile an hour.

will try and get back out soon for a better time.

cheers Russ

p.s car built by me, tuned by someone else

We have more than 1 thing in common then...I built our engine in the back of a friends workshop...and built the rest of the car in a granny flat/garage...lol

croydons tune it for us.

Paul, what is Jim charging you for the transfer case mods? I know Race Pace in Melbourne are also well known for doing transfer case upgrades.

Awesome work there Justin, top effort!

I shudder to think what the bill may be....will not be ready until Tomi Miyamie comes back from Japan as he is the wizz on these upgrades

So true, so many times backyard engines are best!

yeah snowy was on N1's. great performance from them!

can anyone enlighten me as to the transfer case mods that can be done? i have read that there is something that can be improved , but have never found information relating to it.

Russell...is your GTR the one from Dutton last year with the big PPG stickers on it?

From what i could gather from the translation....the transfer case has a number of clutch plates...7 i think....3 thin and 4 thick....the mod involves simply removing all the thick plates and putting thin ones in. From what i could gather, the removal of a thick plate allows you to put two thin ones in its place. So instead of having 7 plates in total you end up with 11.

Please correct me if i am incorrect...as this is something i am very "green" on

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
