Not including the cars I've bought cheap to resell:

1984 Subaru Sherpa

1993 Toyota Corolla

1991 Toyota Sera

1992 Nissan 180SX (bought it in 1999, crashed it in 2000 and converted it to S15 front... back then only Bomex made conversion parts)

1993 Nissan R32 GTS

1983 Toyota AE86

1990 Nissan Cefiro (Still got it, dad drives it now)

1991 Nissan R32 GTS4 (Still got it, daily driver)

lol I'm sure there's more to come. I'm sure one day I'll be able to say I've owned the entire spec range in the R32... only GTE, GXi and GTS25 to go.

In order:

R33 GTS Silver

R32 GTST Black

R33 GTST Burgundy

S5 RX7 13BT White

180sx. Silver

R32 GTR (current.) Purple

R34 GT-T (current.) Black.

Nice mix of colours ey.

AND I've just put a deposit on an R34 GTR! My dream car (well at least until the R35 came along...)

Selling both my cars to pay the rest of the balance, import, comply, register etc. (Shameless plug... :) )

1986 Mazda 323 1.6l

That thing was tough. Not fast at all but I took it off Mount Dandenong one time (yay for no brakes) and still drove it home. It died with about 140,000k's on the clock when it did a head gasket. Wasn't worth repairing, so I went and got my 33. It had almost bald tyres and being front wheel drive was great fun. Miss that car.

    • 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 I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark.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.
