Doubt they will stop producing parts, business will continue.

cmon Lamborghini went bust many times but kept being bought by other people/companies and happend to produce the diablo which was French if i remember correctly. Lambo is now bought by Audi which is owned by VW

Aston martin; bought by ford i think.

Maserati went bust and bought by ferrari which threw out the mc12

TVR is not british anymore, its russian

Landrover is furkn Indian

Good point but there is a very large difference....trust doesn't make cars they make them better, you don't really see aftermarket manufactures buying out other aftermarket manufactures too often

But just to clear things up (not to sound cocky, just FYI really)

1993 Maserati was bought by Fiat 1995 50% sold to Ferrari (which 90% is owned by Fiat, Enzo's sun still owns 10 last i checked) 1997 (I think) Ferrari obtained full control of Maserati, few years ago Fiat took over Maserati again

I totally disagree.

The examples you use are people making cars.

Trust do not make cars. Apples and Oranges your comparing.

The issue here is Parts & all associated.

Where you can copy parts, which is where Trusts business lies. As such all the cheap sh|t coming outta China is destroying the market.

All the copy parts coming out @ 1/3 the price (or less in some cases) due to the fact they are copied, and often poorly done at that.

Trust do all the design/Dev etc (which costs BIG money) and then some muppet comes along and does the ole copy-copy for nothing.

Performance products no longer fetch the prices they used too for companies like this… or if they do. They are selling nowhere near the volume they would back in the 90's and early 2000.

Also (as a mate just pointed out to me) think about the Jap Market... Silvias/Supra - not in production, GTR's - only just started and so on.

So hat cars are they going to make new/innovative parts for to keep business alive? :(

Lot more to it than examples of car manufacturers im afraid

Funny thing too to think about, if these companies stop making stuff, then China wont have anything to copy in the automotive parts :P

:P

I think a better observation would be to dig up all the threads of people complaining how their cheap Chinese copy doesn't fit properly and needed $XXX to fix/fit

Thanks for the head up dude, always appreciate clarification of info! :)

On another note though, amazing how many car manufaturers are sleeping around with eachother all the time ey! Like when you step into some aston martins and you find volvo parts lolz or audi parts in some lamborghinis

Pretty soon we will have the McHolden or the KFcitroen lolz

at least the bugatti veyron aint owned by volkswagon......oh wait

thats like Osama Bin Laden funding the democrats......Obama Bin Laden!

      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?
