R32 Motion Ratio


Recommended Posts

I've been told 1:1, but i've also been told 0.94 & 0.914 for the front, and 0.703 for the rear. and mr Penske says only like axles are 1:1, so my IRS car can't be 1:1, but I measured it (multiple times) and got 1:1.

0.7??? Maybe for a semi trailing arm rear with the shock just over half way along.....are you sure Roger has the right model Skyline?

The shock is connect to the hub so hub moves 1mm, shock moves 1mm. Or a tiny bit more because of the angle it is on. So 1:1 sounds right to me.

that is ecsactly what i thought, i'm just triple checking with other skyline guru's before i get the valving done. SK told me a while ago that it was 1:1 as well.

I also have been told 1:1...

However, I highly doubt each axle would be exactly 1:1 tho...even a small change of say 0.05 (+ or -) would be enough to cause a significant increase or decrease in wheel rate

Cheers

if the shock is mounted on the hub/upright its 1:1 if it on a control arm its not. all skylines are on the hub. so all 1:1. just because they are not at the outside of the hub makes no differance.

rear is def 1:1. front is mounted on the upright so its 1:1 too :worship:

    • Damn, some awesomeness in there. What is the car with the Mk2 golf front, is it a Polo?  I'm in love with the C110. 😍 Some cool grafts, like the Lancia Jimny (?).
    • Turbomachinery engineers. They're just mechanical engineers who generally studied in universities focused on oil and gas, aviation or that had a formula SAE competition team. We have an entire team of them in our engineering department... they geek out over data and performance testing. I worked with them a lot when we developed an anti surge system for centrifugal compressors ran by electrical motors (~20 000-50 000HP) to avoid surging on accidental power loss.  They laugh when I mention automotive turbochargers.... it seems they're lightyear's behind in technology due to poor funding. If you think formula 1 spends a lot of money, a single turbine/centrifugal compressor package in my line of work including the balance of plant equipment generally ranges in the 150-250Million range depending on size.   
    • The diff brace did not increase NVR at all. And yea the whole reason I thought getting the rear diff brace was a no brainer was because of the reduction in wearing the bushings out + wheel hop. It's a cheap mod for a big cost mitigation in the long run. I bought it for $99 USD + shipping. In regards to the sway bar - i had some over/understeer going on but i just checked my tires and they are pretty worn out. I wont be changing them til july since i'm away for work for a month or so. will sort it when i get back and do more testing. But its definitely still a big thumbs up from me given how planted the car feels now and me being able to go around corners quicker. Still puzzling to me why they never put a LSD into these cars....even the 400z. I saw this mob selling LSD kits for a decent price though it's a little more involved on your part to get it installed: https://www.tractionconcepts.com/Infiniti-Q60-R190-Limited-Slip-LSD-Rear-Conversion-p/tcxin9240.htm  
    • Great for thrashing on the track - particularly if it is all corners. Otherwise, it is a recipe for massive tyre wear and reduced straight line traction. -1 is plenty for a streeter.
    • There are other MAP tapping ports. There's one that runs to the boost gauge MAP sensor on the firewall (over in the corner behind the brake booster). Start at that sensor and follow the hose to the plenum.
