:mage: Yesterday morning coming to work i was driving down Commercial Rd and as i crossed Punt Rd the green light turned amber ( Note i was not the last one through the intersection) but there was a van on my right turning right up Punt blocking the veiw of the idiot driving a old merc from turning the other way down Punt. instead of waiting until he was clear or for the red to turn as soon as the amber came on he turned right in front of me, luckily for him and his insurance company my reflex's where good enough to just miss him but very unlucky for me and my savings my reflex's where not good enough to stop me from smashing up the arse of the new Alfa infront of me!!!!!!!! as the trafffis had already backed up. AS soon as i sore the Alfa i broke and turned hard left but needed about another 1m so now he has big dint in his left rear bumber and the right front of my baby has bout 3.5 to 4 K of damage :mad::D:)

Soooooo this idiot in the merc drives away like nothing happened, to live out his useless life as the dick who caused me my first accident and $1450 in excess.

Just is not fair!

the lady at Just Cars told me if i had crashed in to the merc would have been his fault but as i crashed into the back of the Alfa its mine SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANGRY

I would be pissed too!

I dont have full comp so I am more than happy to wreck the car of whatever idiot pulls a stunt like that instead of trying to avoid it and end up doing damage to my own car.

I would get shafted either way.

Bad luck mate.

    • I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.
    • I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks
    • lol, probably should have read further!
    • Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4
    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
