I'd sell my soul to the Devil for your car :bunny:

OT: I saw one parked in the city the other day and people were stopping by taking pictures infront of it etc.

I almost broke my neck driving when I saw my 1st one in the flesh lol, GF thought I was perving lol

You where but not at the 2 legged kind........ :)

... becuase the R35 is a genuine exotic looking supercar. I always admired the R32-34, fantastic cars, I'd love to have one if I had between $30-50K to spend, but you'd never call them true exotics...but the R35 REALLY looks everybit a $160K exotic supercar :) ....unlike the black HSV W427 I saw sitting in Nissan Australia headquarters on Tuesday! (my guess is HSV probably borrowed a GT-R to play with and they let Nissan have their $160K 'Clubsport')

I remember a reader for Top Gear Australia reader complaining that the annual supercar calender featured a HSV 427 and not a GT-R. TGA replied that the GT-R simply looks like a piece of crap and HSV looks the bizz! After seeing the HSv 427 which looks like an SS without a rear wing and possibly the worst looking tailights ever, it's apparent that TGA has taste well and truly imbedded up their arses. :) The reaction from the public obviously vinidcates the GT-R as genuinely horn looking piece of car porn.

Have never been a big Fan of the HSV Cars.....but they do have a big following and at 160k for their Clubsport....... :wacko: .....I'll take any GTR and

run rings around it.........

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 I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark.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