Was going to message you on the weekend to see if you were going to be running! Awesome! Was also going to see if you are up for a run up to Winton the following week?

Winton could be a definate maybe. A trailer would really help. Will keep you posted

You will be happy to know we are tackeling the brake issue head on and I dont mean by crashing in to oncoming traffic to slow down.

I have identified that all nissan master cylinders have a 50:50 proportioning up to a specific split point. At that point it goes to a 60/40 split to the rear +3/-7. I am varifying this on the weekend by tracing brake presures with a testing kit. Will provide the graph next week. If this comes out in factory spec which I think it will we are going back to std gtr calipers on the rear not the alcon setup. This in addition to the anit dive, the removal of the battey in the front and a mild brake pad should see the braking distances improve dramatically and stop the rears from locking.

Curently we have been using a 60% reducer to iliminate the rear lock up. This ment there was a 70/30 brake split when there should have been 50/50 which then decreased to a 76/24 split upon maximum braking. Obviously not ideal but better than random hand brake gremlin.

Will keep you posted.

Will be interesting to see how you go. Is it using 4 channels one for each wheel, or just front and rear circuits?

If its up the duff it may simply be better to go aftermarket pedal box. Do you have all your fluff on the thing now, diffusers, wing etc?

I won't be driving. Might come for a watch though.

Dont want to risk $180 if I break something at winton tomorrow and can't drive and don't wanna pay $280 coz it will be less than a week till entries close.

Bit of a rip if you ask me.

Needs to be done? Basically new fuel pump, wheel alignment and service.

What i want done? New fuel rail, fuel filter, fuel reg, 6boost manifold install, plazmaman inlet plenum install, install titanium exhaust , SBC-R EBC installed, Gizzmo shift light installed, My-Chron wiring finished, new brakes put on, RB25box installed with new twin plate, new radiator and electic fans and fan controller, isntall front undertray, new upper and lower susp arms and bits, maybe try the cams i have sitting around...LOL, so much shit i have acquired for the car. To think i have sold some of the stuff i was going to install :)

LOL, the body got the overhaul after i took it off the road, but most of the mechanicals still need doing. Also want to give it a run down the qtr before going back OS, though not sure i have the time. Need to borrow some R32 GTR rims to buy some good drag radials. I want a 12.2 or better ;)

TRAITOR!!! Its all RB20 or go home :D

Wow it doesnt look good for this weekend. Sadely I will still be there sitting in a garage freezing my nutz off hoping for one semi dry lap.

Bris you keen for Winton next weekend. Both Sat and Sun have club sprints. One with Alfa and one with Jag.

Cant belive Sandown is free next weekend and no clubs are using it. Juz talked me out of enquiring for a private hire and a mass club mail out lol.

Well, me being a fark knuckle compnay man. ..my leave has been postponed and my flight diverted to Singapore to fix fark up on a job. They are telling me its will only eb a few days but that means i wont have any time to work on the car....thats assuming i am not there for my entire two week holiday before returning to Inida on the 15th ! SO depressed right now, every time i make plans and get excited, work farks them up. I cant wait to quit this job, hopefully in the next week or two. Oer 6 years with them and whilst its good to be the go to guy, other people are treated and paid like royalty, whilst...well i stil cant afford anyting better then an R32 GTST :(

Awesome session

I think it was a 1.35 , 1:18 then 1.17.02 then 17.2 then 16.6

Very impressive to watch and well worth waiting out the rain and wind.

Quickest car on the day by far, as the fat ambo said "that ice burner should go alright"

Car looks so well sorted. Have to ask, has there been a change to the final drive ratio? Looks like you are pulling gears at about the same places so doesnt appear to be that different gear wise. Your power down is so much better then before, seems to help being in 3rd rather then 2nd onto the straights as well.

So, i am dieing to find out...what is the change? Rear diffuser and wing? Change in suspension and alignment? Car looks mega stable...but i am sure there was more to your wheel work then there was your footwork :domokun:

LOL, also sounds like no more gate :) Perhaps you should do a Red Bull and plumb your gate to your rear diffuser...yeh, that it, thats your big secret :)

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
