Phillip Island 16-06-2013 After a wet start in the morning the day got better. Still very cold, had a lot of trouble getting heat into the tyres. Couple of issues spun the rear yoke in the tail shaft

180sx at Carnell Raceway, taken with a panasonic DMC-FT1

nice aleks! Carnell is such a fun little track

here's an in-car vid from my 180 at Lakeside yesterday. Another 4 tenths off the PB with some setup changes and cooler conditions. The standard viscous LSD really isn't up the the job! but even so i don't really think I should be getting this much wheelspin with 240 wide rear slicks. Last time out, and the first time I used the slicks, I had so much traction it was boring - may as well have been driving an Evo :) But not anymore. Think they may not like the constant heat cycling? They seem to be taking longer to come up to temp too, but it was a much cooler day... Anyway, here it is. Lap 3 is a 58.9 :P

I went to Wakefield Park on Monday and after taking me an hour to start my little car (-4c on the trip down froze the poor little bugger) I eventually managed a new pb of 1:12.7 down from 1:14.4 with tyres that have seen 4 trackdays.

It was my first time using the PerformanceBox GPS laptimer and datalogger which was a massive help. Knowing your split and laptimes as you go is really good information.

I've done a speed comparison on my best and second best times of the day and their is no more than 3km/h difference at any point in the entire lap. The difference between my 12.7 and driver trainers 12.0 is no more than 6km/h however I did have better mid corner speed in some corners than him but he tended to brake earlier and get on the power earlier out of the corners.

Here is a video of my fastest lap of the day:

I haven't got the TrackVision software working yet but my top speed on the straight was only 160.9km/h :D I really need to work on turning in later on the last corner and deeper under brakes on the first corner.

Here is a picture of my lines for this lap based off the gps co-ordinates:

Have you had a look at the lines the trainer used when running your car around? Any significant differences?

nice meeting you out there too.

my previous best in NA 120ish rwkw form was a 1:09.8

as run in the vids, maybe 260ish (only running 1 bar) and first time at wakefield with turbo 1:07.7's.

to be fair, the 1:09 was done on pretty old r888's, the above vids were on new re55's

There's more in it

LOL, just curious to know what difference power made to the lap times. I am always on the prowl for a good R32 or S13 Silvia as the basis of a build up...but being OS means it has to really be a good buy to throw into storage for when i get back. My dirty2 is not getting any more mods after the RB24. Nex car is going to be so stripped it will resemble something from Mad Max 2 :)

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      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

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      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?
