thread about shimming the stock viscous unit here> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=160540

I might put the hard word on SK to do a more track orientated setup for the GTSt

Coool - thanks Nick. Does anyone know if there's a shim on both sides of the L.S.D. centre, or just one side? I'd rather shim both sides equally, rather than just one.. . . .

You're still street-driving your R33, yeah? Maybe You should come for a ride in My beeaaatch before You go looking to go too hard in the suspension. . . . .

yeah would like to come for a ride (I see you have a background in karting too, might need some driving tips as well hehe)... still drive it everyday but I live so close to work its not a big deal to leave it in the garage... I have being toying with the idea of buying a pushy for a while now... would keep my fat arse in shape!

yeah might just get some thicker swaybars, dial some more negative camber into the front end and then drop it another 10mm... it is still a little high as I get some tire scrub in the back (have been meaning to get the guards rolled...but you know... I'm lazy)

yep looks like that LSD mod is pretty temporary

Nick, SK already has a set of coil-overs more orientated to track days, yet still pretty streetable. But if you are patient; once my car is back on the road, i'll take you for a spin, as i am about to fit the Tein-Super Streets. These have 32 damper/rebound (simutaniously) adjustments per shock, and should be great with the in-cabin controller (EDFC).

Car wont be ready till late July (i hope), as i am building a new engine, after cyl 3 dropped compression :happy: .

I have some SK shocks in my car and they seem to work really well and I'm only on street tyres. They were off one of the track GTR's he works on and they are meant to be used with semi's . The car seems really balanced even though it needs a front alignment after my DIY one to remove some front toe in went wrong one night before DECA and I still haven't got it right yet. Didn't want to wear out new tyres.

There is a lot of talk about abjustable dampening and rebound in shocks and if you don't know what your doing you will never get it right. I'm not a SK fan boy but from my car now and a mates 32gtst with SK street shocks only in the adelaide hills compared to his previous Tien's and my old Kyb's in my old gtst I was amazed how well it handled with a nice smooth ride and heaps of corner speed - didn't skid over bumps in corners. Would recommend them to you.

Also if PIARC isn't boked out on the sat I'm in. With some more front end grip with an alignment, the TSC and some new brake pads I really want to push the limit and get a low 1.50. I've never backed up a day at the same track so soon so there should be some more improvements to be made.

Great driving !! Car sounds cool too.

I'd say you have some serious setup issues. The rear looks unstable and squirmy. If you could improve the rear grip that thing would fly.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
