Dirtgarage Runs 9's!

Yes, that is true, Adrian. But since my engine and box is being pulled out his week, I was considering my options. I also need a new front diff so this would be the opportune time to change the diff gears.

Fair enough. I reckon hang on to your hard-earned for now though, mate.

yeah i always like to cross my bridges when i come to them...no point spending cash when ya dont have to. The front diff gears can be done in the car anyway Charlie. We did ours on a hoist in about 2 hrs.

True on all counts guys. I did some calculations and with the box I will be using, I don't think the 4.3's will help. I will just rev it harder

do you have a matching set of 4.3's charlie ?

I only have the front diff out of a GTS4. Looking for the rear.

Same i have a matching crown and pinion for the front.

I could go to 4.3 but all they will do is cause me to pull 4th and go over 140 MPH. Might be good for a couple of 10ths though.

I was thinking that same thing. It's all in the r&d. With some more runs under the belt, the combination can be improve upon.

I will be using a closer ratio box than the OS Giken gearset so I will be well and truly into 4th.

Smart arse... lol

[fieds83]

Damn i need bigger turbos and tuning past 8200

[Swiper the Fox]

9102rpm

I knew it was over 9000 but not 9200 (shift light setting) but somewhere in between. So yes 9100.

Not being anal...just playing with ratios and Excel.

Filthy ricer.

cable ties ftw

cable ties ftw

4 cable ties and two screws hold the front bar on...and do a damn fine job too.

looking at the 1st pick i can see my clutch packs in the diff are just about rooted...

there is clearly less smoke on the passenger side.

time for the Nismo kit to be installed....might give me another 10th in the 60'
