So nismo upgrade kit it is.

The other half has given me a go ahead for 2 weeks time if that's ok Beer Baron?

Beer/Baron & Dave, Which kit would you consider for the street? 8kg or the 12kg? Keeping in mind the ramp angles of the std diff are lesser than that of the nismo diff. The std gtr diff engages smoothly/requires more throttle where as the nismo locks up real quick.

Unless the kit also replaces the pressure rings which I'm fairly certain it doesn't?

yeah mate, if you can't get one cheaper here I'm happy to get one for you.

it's it's purely a street fun car I don't think it will matter too much between 8kg or 12kg. maybe go the 8kg for some less savage lock under deceleration, but to be honest you are not generally braking massively hard on the street anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. and as you said the ramp angles on the centre are kinder than most aftermarket 2 ways.

Ye i had mine done years ago by a person in the know.

I love it, you'd pick it for something aftermarket, but without the harshness in a way as it wont lockup when driving around a car park... but any more and its 2 wheels.

Was a bit nasty one night in the wet down a hill as i wasnt that used to it. But nothing that i dont learn to be wary of :)

I provided a spare working centre for mine, and that combined with what was left of my dead one i think made up the new one.

So im guessing just the plates inside, add a few more and get the result you want

I drove a mates GTR with a tight nismo center in it a few days ago.

VERY VERY nice diff I must say; regardless of its steeper ramp angles it was still easy to throw a u-turn without it locking and shuddering. Slight more throttle and it was wobbling the rear and grating the inside tyre.

The Nismo GT Pro's are MUCH MUCH more aggressive; you have to basically clutch it otherwise it clunks and bangs with the slightest throttle input; not all that good for parking or when mr policemen are around.

Nismo Upgrade Clutch pack FTW.

9krpm,

I'm a little way off and spent a few $$ on a new gearbox.

One thing after another; the joys of a modified car.

If only the diff would completely break so I would then have an excuse to use for the missues. lol

I'm looking at 2-3weeks away to muster up some pocket money lol for the nismo upgrade pack. :)

I am cool with that Cubes. I am in no rush to change it yet as the diff is not slipping yet but I think it will be soonish :(

so who wants the nismo diff upgrade kit?

I'm going to order some stuff today so it's best for me to include this stuff. saves me cost of TT fees etc.

They are the same price for both types of kit. either 45ft/lbs or 75ft/lbs. I know nismo japan have the 45ft/lbs kit in stock but not sure on the 75ft/lbs kit.

Let me know today if you want one. You can pay me in the next few days but I just need to know for sure who's in, so I can place my order today.

yeah thats goood. i threw out all my little nismo bags with the part numbers.

the main advantage is the factory setup only has 1 friction disc conecting the case to the axle. so the problem is not it being to loose. but it actually stripping the said single friction disc.

so the "upgrade" adds an aditional 2 driven discs on each side. so going fron 2 to 6 driven discs makes them much more durable.

putting in these upgrade discs is a piece of cake. but YOU HAVE TO THROW AWAY THE THICK SPACER at the end of each side. the extra plates make up the diferance.

so putting this set in your standard diff makes it a "nismo 2 way" the nismo one you buy complete it just this.

I just pulled apart my R32 rear lsd and there is no 2 thick washers in there? Can you clarify what you are saying cos im getting heaps confused with it all at the moment.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
