1st and last mate. no more, lost enough hair lol.

planning on ducting the front bar when i get her back. the tossers will think the radiator is a cooler anyway.

trust me, the cam is big enough, its the bigest hydraulic comp cams has ground for a small cube ls1. we were gambling that the fact the car is lighter than your average comodore that we will get away with it. plus the diff ratio and 6 speed should help. ill send her over if the missus makes me sell it.

Does look great, though looks wierd not having anything hanging out through the opening in the bar. May have to glass it back to teh radiator so you dont see light through there.

Tell me where to write a 10k checque for the conversion and i will post it off....only i know it woudl cost way more then 10k :D

All it needs to be truly toss worthy is a close ratio box and a big silly cam to make the thing nice and peaky and make good top end. LOL, i seem to like spending money making cars slower :)

what diff ratio you running mate? and what are the 6 speed ratios? I know the commodores have silly gears in the 3s so pretty much any skyline ratio from the 3.9:1s to the 4.4:1s will be a big difference and should work well.

im pretty sure its a 4.3:1. yeh the holden ratios were way to tall, you get get a commodore to boogie by putting in a set of 3.7s. as for the box ratios im not sure.

yeah 4.3 will be nice. the commodore ones are just stupid.

legs arent the issue, i couldnt shift into 6th under 105kmh in the commodore without labouring it.

i put it off the clock in 5th, 230kmh. stock standard vx ss. should see alot more of 6th gear now.

I have a 4.3 in mine, and the gearing is far too low (although Im using a w57 5spd) When I get a chance Im gonna stick a gts25 3.5 or a diesel laurel 3.9 centre in so I have some legs

that would be great, but have a few things to finish, and not sure when ill get her back from the sparky.

but ill come along for a look anyway. was looking at getting it done for power-cruise, just so i could get it out somewhere to run it in and bed brakes in etc, but a track day would be better. its a shame superlap is on F1 weekend, would have loved to let her loose for that.

      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?
