Hey guys,

When I take off normally on sand Im getting wheelspin, not so much wheelspin but the tyres are skipping over the sand and its starting to get annoying as my estate is filled with it. Would this be the tyres im running? Their brand new ones so dunno. Only running a GTS-t with minor mods as well so probabaly only about 170-180rwkw?

This normal?

PS. Im not riding the clutch, dropping it or whatever :cool:. I have LSD as well but I dont think that would have anything to do with it.

haha this threads a joke right?

Sand on the road creates a loose surface...a loose surface is prone to movement. The sand is moving from underneath your tyres, thus your tyres not in direct contact with the road and therefore spinning loosely on top of the road.

Notice the same thing on a wet road? The water acts like a lubricant....

My wheels spin more easily when the rear of the car is jacked up...is that normal?

lol

Dude put the car into 5th gear and just ride the clutch a bit to take off. Would mostlikely not spin the wheels to easy then.

Or just get outta the car n leave the hand brake off and car in neutral. Give it a push to start it rollin then jump back in the car while its rolling and slip into 2nd and off ya go.

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
