...and I was interested to see how Unique Cars presented it's "Club of the Month" section as I'm now doing advertising for the WRX Club and I want to make a submission to them to consider... and wasn't I pleasantly surprised when I started flipping through this issue! (Oct 31-Nov27)!!

Reading through the index page, firstly I saw there was a great write-up on the 1994 Subaru WRX Rallye edition (yeah, its spelt right!) - featuring one of our WRX club members Daniel Boyle. I went straight away to page 126 - what an excellent read it was. I'd knew that he had offered to help out Unique Cars with the article but I had no idea it was going to be in this issue. Very pleasant surprise indeed.

As i'm flicking back and forth through the pages, I turn to page 70 and guess who's golden locks and unmistakable smile bring a smile to my own face - that's right, our very own MissJuz and the article about Juz & Brisby's adventures at Dutton 07!

It was a great read, very well written and had some great photos! Unforunatly I wasn't available to come and check it in person this year (i made scruteneering but thats it) due to work so it was nice to see an article that put together all the stories I'd heard from the SAU crew.

It's weird reading about people in a major magazine when you go "hey I know them" :D

Well done to all that competed in Dutton and congratulations for making it back in one piece!

Justine, you'll be hearing from me shortly as I really want to promote the WRX club a bit more in mainstream media :)

B-man out.

Thanks Brenton, Send me an email with your details and I'll let you know what you need to submit for club of the month! Email: [email protected]

Also if you watch the Unique Cars DVD that came with the magazine you will also see another SAU Club Member showing the world his Drifting Skills in the Ford FPV Drift 6, Adam "Handbags" Newton!

Slowly but surely we shall take over this magazine so it's filled with people we know!! *rubs hands together*

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      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?
