ok hang on so the $2802 is what i pay per year and the "excess" which is $1600 is what i pay in an event of an accident etc? 3046 much safer than 3047 :P

what do yous pay then for your premiums?

If one's ecr33 diff has gone from a twin spinner to a single spinner akin to that of a VN commodore, what should one do?

options are:

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

replace with real diff

all of these better than standard diff

options are:

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

replace with real diff

all of these better than standard diff

Replace with GTR diff you say?

What benefit would this have over say, a train... which i can also afford.

shim

weld

Shim = what i will be doing

Weld = f**k that

GTR diff = will need to replace both half shafts as GTR is 6 bolt and GTST is 5 bolt

Replace with real diff = expensive and if u buy a shit one like i did it will explode nicely LOL

$10/month X 12 months = $120

is this your r33 or? why so cheap you must have a spotless license or something..

u think thats bad i remember being quoted somewhere round 5-6k full comp back in 2003 as a p plater r34 gtt think just cars or shannons.....

now $290 third party just cars.....

not surprised for a p plater i dont know what p plater would be able to afford that just for insurance anyway

thats not too bad for 3 cars but why do you need 3 cars for :/ i can understand 2 if you had 1 daily in which case i'd get a shitter thats not even worth insuring so i'd still only pay for 1

On a scale of 1 to Miley Cyrus, how illegal is shimming a diff?

you can shim a diff as tightly as you want, you can shim it for minimum lock or shim it so that it skips like a 2 way. Up to you.

With legality, its like anything if cops see it skipping they might say something, i have never had a prob with cops with the 2 way, they saw it skipping along the ground and didnt say anything

options are:

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

just went out for a drive to prac my heel and toe technique.......master :whistling: i notice that my diff feels a bit sad maybe its these f@#%in ku36's dnt like em time to get a real

diff nismo 1.5 or 2 way? yea boiii...

3 litre is probably cheaper

f**k welding the diff or GTR diff

either shim your current one or new kazz centre or nismo centre

do it once and do it properly

stuff changing in / out 2nd hand parts etc

kaaz 1.5

do it and you can thank me later.

shimming's good fun if you own a beat up 32, but if you want it to last, do it properly. Put it this way... ALL the power you make has to go through it. If you wanna wager that on a $1.50 shim go nuts.

shimming just increases the bite point of your viscous, which means there's still slip, as time goes on it'll wear down and cark your diff. Guaranteed. Unless you're prepared to pull down and flush pumpkins after every track day or major fang session.

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
