Howard Marsden passed away this last Tuesday,,,This particular Gentleman was very instrumental in putting Nissan on the map in Racing in Australia and for that matter the World. I wouldn't say I knew him personally but on a number of occasions I took him to Sydney Airport after a Nissan trade show or whatever and found the Man to be not only a Gentleman but also a Genuine guy that loved his Motorsport. Skaifey,,Seton,, Fury,,Gentleman Jim and a whole lot of other motor-racing guys must be very upset right about now.

Neil.

I too was very sad to hear of Howards passing. I had the pleasure of having dinner with him one night a few years back. It was extremely interesting to talk too and always happy to have a yack with fans of is work. Cars like our GTR and Falcon GTHO and even the current Au falcon have a lot to thank Howard for.

A truly nice guy who will be missed in all motor sport circles.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
