25 / 1j wouldnt be powerful enough. however a GT28RS strapped onto the TD42 motor is a good option for lotsa torque. Guy from the patrol forums just bought a manual GQ shorty from VIC, with engineered VS 5.0 injected engine in it :blush:

and if ya lifting, its gotta be at least 2+2 (2" suspension lift, and 2" lifting blocks under the body) - that gets the back step up to

I remember seeing a short wheelbase patrol with a RB26 and a big single hanging off the side in a magazine last year. This thing was crazy!

Thats was a pretty quick sale Pete!! Its a nice car..Can I ask where she has gone?? Still in SA or interstate?

It's a sad moment, I did it with mine not that long ago :( But still have the race car! :iluvff:

Hey Jess :wave: ........yeah stayed in Adelaide and went to a nice kid that works at the RAAF

can you get ppl's details from there plate number?
if your a cop or work for the transport department, then yes. lol

Depending on the job I'm on, I can do rego checks either via workcover or thru crown solicitors.....but no randoms.

Heck, I can drag out your private medical records with a section 110 if necessary :P

possibly, depends on the future path of the R.

moreso want to get back into having fun goin slow... = 4wd and mad scrub. wanna start heading up north again.. good cheap fun.

want a less lairy daily driver aswell (althought depends on the lift and tires oh and what turbo, turbo diesel ftw)... the vl will cost a fair bit to get up to spec again

now yoo speaky ma language :ninja:

hi all, im a heavy diesel mechanic by trade and was thinking about doing some weekend work from home such as cam belts, fitment of trans coolers, fitting of coilovers and various stuff like that. my questions are what do you all think is fair to charge for the above and does anyone need any of the above done?

i spend my days working on 27ltr twin turbo V12s and obviosly change my own cam belts and the like. any thoughts???

what would you charge me to replace rear springs & shocks and front coilovers in a 200series Landcruiser (I'll supply the parts)..........if it's too much, I may contemplate doing it myself but I don't feel like crawling under 3 tonne that's suspended in mid air, lol

you made a blatant threat in a public forum bud.....keep it to PM if you know the dude (or send me around to his place) :ninja:

yeh im sorry, i dont know who it is, its just stuff like that gets my blood boiling !

but ill keep your service offer in mind :P

List of jobs for the day:

Erect first frame of house extension, ensure frame is level, and pour foundations

Engine service and suspension tuning to friend's VFR400

Fit turbo to Stagea and re-assemble

Drop in on Damo, delivering tools and check out his RB

... and shower and eat at some stagea :P

bah no one looks in the WTB section frequently anyway, i was just after recommendations of places to look biggrin.gif

    • 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.
