would it be better to re pack the clutch packs or buy an aftermarket 2 way like a kaaz?

i got quoted (roughly) $300ish for the clutch packs and $250 for install as they wont let customers install it themselves

intended use is for drifting, so im curious if this re packing is able to hold up to the abuse or will it start to open wheel after a while

coz if thats the case a kaaz is cheap enough these days to buy brand new

I know someone who tried a stock R32 GTR diff in a drift car and it open wheeled at the worst times. They don't have a very agressive ramp angle which means it doesn't lock that much under acceleration. I've always wondered how a stock GTR diff would go if U ground the angled bit that the pin pushes against to a more aggresive 'wedge'. I dunno wat either are called lol.

ive driven on shimmed vicous r200s before...they were terrible and singe spin half way through the day!

Clearly it wasn't done right :D

Racepace re-shimmed & plated my diff, almost to Nismo spec (slightly different i was told)... was what 6 years ago now.

I've done maybe 40 passes @ the drags on it, as well as a lot of serious curry in general use with the 255 RE001s i have.

After 10,000-15,000km's it's still exactly as tight same as it was the day i picked it up, turns both wheels without fail every time :D

R31Nismoid: hey mate... do you think they are as strong/effective/etc as a proper 2 way though?

the repacks i drove were following instructions off this site

this wasnt repacked like nismo plates but the 2 outer shims making it virtually a locker

now gtr repacking/reshimming maybe different and thus making it more effective than doing it to the other r200s

Well a HR31 long nose is a 2-way mech locker, just really weak.

So from my experience with the HR31 R200, yes they are just as good.

R31Nismoid: ah i see... the r32 diffs are mechanical lsds also from my understanding (correct me if im wrong) so repacking the shims may work

the experiences i have had with reshims came from viscous lsds so there would be a difference i think

but good to know it may be effective to repack the shims!

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
