Oh yes!!

So I get up this morning to an invite for lunch in Freo. Now, try to avoid south of river but decided to go down. Hit the E Shed markets up after. Driving out to leave Freo, heading past the docks I spot something... it cant be, can it? IT IS!!

Mad drive home, return with camera, get some snaps. Its hard with the massive fence and cars in the way but I make do. Im waiting for my house to get raided for terror offences after poking a camera into the docks area!.

So anyhow, get to thinking... there can only be a few people in the game with the resources, knowledge and ability to get one of these in so quick. Further investigations reveal that the car in fact belongs to the team at Autowholesale/Fabcar, and I believe it will Steve Jones race car for events such as Targa West 2008, but dont quote me on that.

From what I could see, it is a gorgeous car. Aggressive, so you know it means business, but still stylish with a little class. It is definitely bigger then a 34, but you can still tell it belongs in the GTR family. Either way, I'd kill for one.

The legend is real, and the legend is here. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
