We have had a lot of success just shimming the standard rear diff. obviously 1.5 or even 1 way aftermarket centre is even more effective.

How do you find the quaife when one wheel is off the ground, or is that not an issue for you? we have a nasty last corner at our local goat track where the front inside wheel is off the ground for a fair way.

thanks for the info - how are you shimming the diff? Can you share any pics of this? I think the aftermarket center will probably happen, but this would be a nice solution for the time being. Also going to open the transfer case up and see if i can add 2 more discs in there.

the quaife does fine in the front here because ive never lifted a front yet... if i could do it again it would be an ATS or OS giken front AND rear.

Please dont make us wait :rofl:

i would love to post pics of the r34 here in the shop right now, but i can not release any pics for a few more months. the turbocharging industry is in for big changes. i promise details and data will be released as soon as is allowed for me to share

sorry no actual detail...anything with gears in it is too complex for me. I know they add extra clutch plates of extra thickness to the centre, and that they immediately understood what I meant so I assume it was simple/common enough. my instructions were "I want it tight enough so it clunks in carparks" and it came back perfect. Same for transfer case too, extra clutch plates in there bring on the 4wd sooner which is welcome

geoff what you want is the nismo diff upgrade kit. it's a kit of new disks for the diff. they add different combos of friction plates etc to get the desired characteristics. there are two kits available for stock GTR diffs with different initial torque settings. when installed properly in a 32 GTR diff it makes it very tight and very predictable, consistent lock up behaviour.

Me and my mate are running these in out cars, they work great, and they'r cheap. My mate went from a super aggressive Tomie 2 wa, 'back' to the Nismo clutch packs, and it made the car faster and easier to drive

i have the 2007 nismo catalog, but there are (4) kits available? take a look, do you know the differences?

could you please you ask your mate if he got the 8kg or 12kg? and serrated disc or smooth disc?

from memory when we ordered them there was only 2 to chose from (7.5 and 14). The standard GTR ones are smooth from memory, Nismo might have updated the range. we chose the 7.5 (8) cause we both drive on the street a lot, and didn't want a super aggresive one.

My 7.5kg kit ended up with 9kg of preload when it was tested.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
