Can You Read Japanese?

Well recently bought a r34 GTT and trying to get a gauge on how accurate/inaccurate my displayed kilometers are as i have been told i have a series 1 dash but it is a series 2 car. Anyway i went hunting through the engine bay and around the car generally looking for servicing stickers or anything that might indicate the car has done more than shown.

My searching only turned up 2 stickers one on the airbox in the engine bay and the other on my windscreen (although this one i doubt is of much use). My best guess is it says the airfilter is due to be replaced at 100k's or that it was replaced at 100k's if someone can give me a definite answer that would be really useful.

I think the sticker with 100,000km on it is to remind you to change your timing belt before, if not at 100,000km's.

The green sticker with the 21 on it, from memory it is a Japanese Rego sticker.

I will have to get my parents to have a read tonight and translate it.

Ok thanks guys thought it was something saying work was done at 100k's which shouldnt be as my dash reads 88k's although if there were any such service stickers they would likely have been taken off i guess if someone was trying to be dodgey.

Are series 1 center console gauges white? If so i am keen to get them or is it just an orange light behind the gauges that makes the series 2 ones orange?

Ppl in Japan usually change the timing belts around 80,000 km mark, some times 60,000 km mark.

Not too sure why they do it earlier tho...

Once you get to 100,000 km, just change the timing belt regardless.

Not too sure about the gauges, but I know NISMO gauges usually have a white background.

Just get NISMO or Defi ones.

Yea i was planning to unless i found something that suggested my car had traveled further than the k's shown in which case i would of booked it in asap. Still a bit suss on why i have a series 1 cluster but don't mind it too much the car itself seems very good anyway and could easily pass off at the k's shown even if it has done extra k's.

Thanks for the info on the gauges will look into them

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
