Mine? If so, thanks! :D

If not, carry on... :P

PS when do you get your engine?

lol, yeah I meant yours.

engine should be here soon. it's all finished but I have another one being built for a mate so just waiting for his to be finished so I can send both together. the wait is killing me.

Ahhh nice one. I saw it in your other thread, looks nice mate.

The wait is starting to get to me too... It's been off the road so long, and is finally close to being complete. This is the hardest bit I think.

shoulda got the other one :)

Yeah, I was going to suggest next time he photographs his tough engine he should move the clutter from in front of it, then I realised with huge disappointment that the clutter WAS his pride and joy :D

Masochists abound...

lol, you arse monkeys. who would want a stupid bloody toyota mota?

next time I'm at prime I might have to accidentally lean on an engine stand and knock the bastard over. Far too many 2Js in there stinking up the joint.

ok, I admit, that was pretty funny.

that big ass grin gone from ur face yet russ after the short track day on tuesday? :P

mid 59's on a wet track, with a car u havnt driven in a long time is not too shabby. cant wait to watch the topgear series this year!

Well, if you were to buy it for me I wouldnt say no :)

Rivals? Only if it's friendly. And there's no vendetta's either. Competition improves the breed and currently you're the fastest on the Sprint. Seems it's what everyone uses it as their yard stick and I kind of like the idea of Superlap/Time attack though I'll always prefer proper circuit with others diving for the same corner. Wish I had your budget though, boy the things I could do to the Mk2 then :(

more 2j's than rb's? maybe that says something ;)

More 2J's then RB's can be taken 2 ways though Shane.

1- 2J is becoming more popular for people to modify

2- 2J breaks sooner so have to be in workshops getting rebuilt...

As for TopGear, its fun but I'll more then likely only be watching this year too. I'll try and compete in only the JDM rounds at the QRDC events this year. Would be nice to have more contenders this year though. The most JDM cars entered last year in one round (other then MX5's) was about 9 I think, 6 or 7 of which were WRX's and only 1 of those actually lasted to the final race on Sunday. A couple didnt show, another blew a box, another blew an engine etc etc. Would be nice to see some of these fast Skylines and S13/14/15's out there.

keep me posted john! and i will try to make it to some of your races!

whens your next one?

The first Qld Raceway Drivers Championship round is on March 8th and 9th but I doubt very much that I'll get out to it as the 180SX wont be here by then or if it is, it wont be ready. Just not enough time for it.

After that its a TopGear round on 20th April which I'll most likely attend and the 2nd round of the QRCS is 3rd/4th May which I will definately be at.

However the 180 won't be anywhere near as fast as your R32 so don't expect any competition from it. It's intent is as a girls car don't forget :yes:

    • 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.
