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.

cheers Russell

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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
