hi mate

we use gts4 diffs which helped lower the ratio but didnt make the difference we were looking for.

cheers russ

p.s : and yeah your dead right, the reimax gears are higher grade steel replacing sintered as well.

do you race utes?

oh ok. yeah i find with mine. its nicly spaced gearing but just to tall to start with.

ie: 1st.90kph. 2nd.140kph. 3rd 185kph and 4th/5 same as factoy this is at 8000rpm

what did you find the gts4 ones did for you? im only thinking cos ive got to rebuild my rear diff anyway.

motul gearff type 2 f**ked it after 1 launch. i was using penrite limslip 85-140 for ages with out issue.

oh. yeah my work is "hi tech motorsport" we run 6 fords and 1 holden. also a supra in production sports. curantly re doing it with a propper pedal box and a bladder fuel system.

Giant, too good mate. TOO GOOD.

I've just got my carbon shaft in, stripped a lot of weight off the car (stereo, aircon, tar etc) and I'll be getting there shortly too (I hope!).

What an inspiration. Thanks for sharing the info + the vid too. You're a legend!

Is anyone in the know if Thursday's 'Round 2' of C.B. is an invite-only affair,or can us pleb's with pulled apart cars come and watch for inspiration too? I'd love some time around the cars just to soak it all in...

Too right Roy I often look at the pictures of when I first bought the car. It was a collector condition late model R32 GT-R. Such a minter and I am the sole person responsible for destroying it!!! Scares me sometimes and yes, makes me sad.

I was invited to Street car of the year, as well as Circuit Battle by the boys at Autosalon. But I declined both opportunities as I've yet to get a grip of driving the beast (I know I can't do a 1.04!!!!) I'd rather be confident of nailing a great time rather than have a bad time splattered on pages that 20,000 readers will read.

Thos interested in my build can see pics here:

:rofl: No doubt will be a nice car when finished.

LOL...also a hard car to learn how to drive fast. My golden rule, its easier to drive a slow car fast then it is a fast car fast. :thumbsup: I have to say i have a lot of car envy with some of you ppl. The money you are able to spend on your cars...i just cant comprehend thos sorts of figures. So woudl love to get some nice goodies for my car.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
