Hi guys n Gals,

well my pride and joy got shafted by some space cadet SAAB driver today :kiss:

i was coming up to a red light camera intersection and the lights changed, i didn't want to risk a fine so put the anchors on and pulled up

a sec later i hear a screach look into my rear vision mirror and bang crazy bat was day dreaming and run right up my ar#e .........not impressed

rear is all out of wack and my exhurst is farked, just before the cat its bent almost at a right angle. car feels a little unsettled in the back now to but might just be me.

anyway i'm insured with Famous ......tried to call, but getting no answer just some message telling me to call back later (didn't specify working hours), not overly impressed with that.

has anyone had a claim with them ??? How were they to deal with ??

cheers

I can vouch for Famous, 2 of my mates wrecked jap imports without a third party involved, each car had been modified with the usual.

The representative came out and had a look, lodged the paper work and it was done!

I am also with famous myself, haven't needed to make a claim though. So far I have been impressed.

One thing you have to remember is that there office is in Perth, so if you are on the east cost you have to remember the time difference.

Unfortunately they don't have an emergency line though, so you have to do it all in working hours.

Cheers

just so you are aware, famous are in WA, so they are a couple of hours behind in time for their opening hours...I've made a not at fault claim with them few years ago, very efficient. If you have called outside working hours you will get that message.

      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.

      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?
