what kind of money is he asking? they are wanted a bit here but they are also cheap here compared to the cost of importing one including freight.

GT - I have a friend with a 4.8 Patrol engine/box that he wants to offload. Is there a market for these over there?

hahahaa cheers mate! :):)

ohhhh btw... good news everyone!! "dr farnsworth voice"

The V8 SUPERCARS teams left a whole lot of barrels of E85 at Yas Island circuit, my boss works there and he snapped them up for a good price!

Bring on e85 tuning again! hahahaa its been more then 2 years since ive played with the stuff, good to know the old thread is still churning away! might come in handy!

Does the fuel go off in barrels quickly? the race was in January.

You know its taken me 2 years to actually read this thread , but it is by far the most interesting thread on this forum..

Good on ya bloke :thumbsup:

Sooooo.. Guys

Back to the diff ratio thing. Now i am 1000000% sure this diff is something like 3.4:1 ratio.

There is a drift day tomorrow and i wanted to tune the car again, first time the r32 was on the dyno with the RB30....

After i tuned it and made my first power run in 4th gear i noticed the Dyno vibrating like hell, this only ever happened before when I was removing road speeds from lexus's and tundras etc etc and the wheels were spinning over 250km/h

My right hand dyno man comes up to me and said "264 km/h" WTF? watched the dyno the next run and sure thing, 265km/h in 4th gear. This is with my original RB25DET standard transmission i ran in GLT-00Y the whole time in Australia and when I ran the 10.8 @ 135mph.

First gear goes up to 80km/h and second gear is about 140km/h, did not bother with third.

So no drifting, do not think its a good idea to go tomorrow and slide on that track with my hands and legs tied together in this LHD Skyline

What is this diff out of? Guram from Georgia said his car is the same, R32 GTR and my rear end is supposedly from a R32 GTR.

any ideas? i want to change it back or just sell the car and get a RHD car for drifting.

to backup my theory, i went to the drifting today, and could not drift again, soo i tried first year and it was not spinning so bad, it was spinning so bad not because its LHD its because when i was spinning the wheels they were spinning at 130+ km/h

I tried to snap it from 1st to second a few times and nearly lost it every time. its nuts! Had a ball though!! we were drifting on the Yas Marina F1 track!!! was awesome!

yeah its the same, but this car, the brake pedal and clutch were like 2cm's appart! i had to do some serious bending to the clutch pedal and its still not where id like it.

its just awkward... i started to get used to it a little when on the YAS track

Would be weird as hell drifting a LHD. Is the pedal arrange the same as RHD?

Hey GT off topic buy I just read an article in the paper about Ferrari world, this huge red indoor amusement park based on everything Ferrari!

Have you had a chance to visit it?? Looks insane

its in YAS, next to the F1 track and the Drag strip. been outside of it but never bothered to enter. if it was Skyline world then i would have been in there in a flash =)

Apparently one of the Sheikh's here organised it, Abu Dhabi City purchased 5% of Ferrari, then they made Ferrari World.

i will visit sometime

hey mate, 32 GTR is 100% 4.111:1. if you have a 3.4:1 then you need to get rid of it. providing your car really does have a GTR diff then it should be no problem to re-fit the 4.111:1 crown wheel and pinion. if you need help getting one let me know. they are not expensive.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
    • Just yesterday the car started to shake a bit when idle. So tomorrow ima test the some wires and packs with the multimeter and see what it is. Hopefully is a pack because thats the easiest thing to buy same day here where I live in the USA.
    • shot myself in the leg and now last night I have shaking when I idle lol
    • I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested.
