For the day usually costs me between $100-$150, depending on how shit the gun is or if its a good gun how trigger happy I am. Most places have packages that start around the $50+ mark, which gets you a gun, overalls and a mask (guys you need to provide your own box, trust me you need one) and your first round of ammo (about 100-200 balls). The biggest problem I have found is most places have over-used/poorly maintained equipment (tends to happen as the guns cop a hammering cos hardly anyone handles them carefully) so what tends to happen is you get stuck with a gun that jams, shoots curve balls or blows the ball in the barrel all the time. That all said and done its still a great game and for the first time gumby its a great adreline rush as you jump behind a bush or tree and see the paintballs flick past just missing you, but with all the fun comes the pain :) The paint balls arnt hard, they just travel at stupidly fast speeds so when it hits you at close range it'll bruise hence the need for a full face mask (you can lose an eye if you dont keep it on) and a box for the gents :) Its great fun guys and I highly recommend it :)

Ive also heard of different places running these days... although I don't know any of them well enough to organise a day.... :D

All I can say is that there are several different companies that can run the days for you :)

i'll organise something early february ... motorvation is on january and i think everyone will be recovering after xmas.

paintballing is a good idea .... but also can be very expensive ..... so if theres a good number of people willing to cough up the cash and partcipate i'll be more than happy to organise it :(

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
