I was interested in the Capa set up, but after going to Melbourne to see simon at Nizpro I decided to purchase one of his stage II bolt-on upgrade kits.As this is my tow ute I am not keen on going further than that, & just wanted a simple, ready made kit.The R&D on these kits is impressive & the product look great - hope it goes well too.

The street GTR is the one I am excited about - should have it by the end of the week.

whats invoved with the stage 2 nizpro setup Munro, and the $$ involved, i dont think we will be modding either of our utes for a whhile thats what the skylines are for but in a while it would be good.

Also good to see both your cars are getting there Munro, cant wait for the 4,6 rotor nats

Glad to hear everything is progressing nicely now John! Can't wait for a ride in Drift-6 .... it's really going to be something else :)

/me giggles like a little girl in excited anticipation

I'll keep the ford stuff in the XR6Turbo forum where it should be - there will be plenty of time to check the ute out next year when it's done Clint.

In the meantime - are ther any plans to go for a cruise before the middle of Jan?

Be good to catch up with those of you I have not seen for a while.

John,

i didnt get to see under the bonnet of your "street " gtr but knowing some of the good gear thats been "borrowed " for the streeter it will be an awsome package!(it was on the hoist) However i have been up close and personel with some of the work that has been carried out on the race car motor and this does look very impressive---love the engineering that has been put into the car and more recently the motor,and im sure the car hasnt run anywhere near its potential yet.I think i can say on behalf of the sa contingent good luck,we wait and watch with much anticipation---bring it on!!!!

Regards,

SKYLINE...(Kym)

Martin any probs yet with the xr6t manual box, im getting mine in a week or so and have ordered a manual for the work hack.

XR6 Turbos have several chronic problems

Noisy gearboxes

VCT solenoids

Software bugs

Faulty O-Rings in the water pump

Faulty PCV Valves

Aerial Module problems

and general other fit and finish stuff

The R&D on these kits is impressive & the product look great - hope it goes well too.

Looks like we have a little challenge coming up John! I was talking to Mick late yesterday and he tells me you are going out to the track in the XR6 once he has finished setting it up (early next week?). Cool! How about some farmyard action, with XR6T versus VYII Tonner? That would make for some great drag racing. Keep in mind the Ute muster drags - 23-25th Jan AIR

More mods coming on the "Plan C" tonner before then Tuna?

A farmyard battle sounds like fun Martin.Ute drags in Jan could be a goer.

Mark,Mick & Tyson have done a great job on the R33.It only needed some light tuning & a few accessories fitted but was not completely finished, so rather than rush them, we will leave the last finishing touches till the new year.

I'm dissapointed not to be able to run the engine in over the holidays - but thats modified cars for you. It did sound very tough on the dyno, & the pfitzner gearbox feels great.

Of course Cheeky, you will be taking shotgun honours when the car is driven.

After all the cruising I have been doing with you, It will be nice for you to be the passenger for a change. :)

On another note - whats the deal with cabin changing Drag combat to the same weekend as our 4,6&rotor nationals here in Adelaide???

Obviously, the NSW cars will not come across when there is an event for them in Sydney, & why would Keir & I spend thousands to travel there when we can run our GTRs here? Doesn't make any sense to me!

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
