lol.. um yes, read: my tomorrow! :D Stockest my car has ever been tonight.

jack: yes, but it looks "different" for some reason.. or maybe its just your car..hehe, coulda tried to convince her that snail thing is really the latest thing in jewlery ? :( maybe not ... .

timeline jet?? lets see... case1:

Buy a GTS4, keep it in japan till Dec, go to japan in Dec (on holiday), drive it around a lil, go to the shops, buy all my mods. See the car off, hop on a plane, get to australia. Bolt mods on/assemble the widebody kit. Rego the car...

Drive.

GTR... well same thing, cept I won't have any $$$ to buy mods for it, I'll be jus loading it onto the ship, comin home n drivin it.

Its either a one in a million style GTS4 or a plain GTR. Dunno yet, depends what I find. If I find a GTR that tickles my fancy then I'll get it, if not, then GTS4 it is.

high tech equipment for the day you say? nah, its just a video camera now :(

oh and future plans? make my car front wheel drive and take off the turbo's and run it in N/A... :)

or turn my car into a ute! :D you can carry more beer that way :lol:

MORE BEER

lol...

Anyway...

I've been doing some SERIOUS thinking lately.

about my car. What i'm thinking is that it's going to cost me at least $7000-$8000 to rebuild my bottom end on the RB25... so my plan is... when i get $$$ ... to sell the 25 and get an RB26 :(

I've already got the brake upgrade etc.etc.

so getting it registered/engineered will be so easy it won't be funny :D

that way the engine will easily take 300rwkw and be fine. Currently i'm limited to 250, and i can see that not being enough somehow.

190 is boring for me now.

And JET... you reckon the 33 is crazy... i got a ride in the 32.

now that was crazy!

yes but ash they cut the alchohol content on aussie beers :( its a travesty! Less value for every drink.

Ooo.. is there anything actually wrong with your ass end though Ash? Do you know whether it has had internal work before ?

Yes, 190rwkw gets dull after a bit.. what u need to do is go back to totally stock for a week :D and then when u wind it back up you'll go "boy thats fast" and it will be all new again :)

How hard is it to track an internally modified RB26DETT in Japan that isn't about to fall apart?? Can't imagine it would be too easy...

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
