Before you think WTF is a commo doing here, It is more nissan than anything else.

Holden

body

5.7 gen3 with 6 speed tremec

passenger seat & steering wheel.

Nissan

S14 rack

S15 front hubs

Bilstiens with S13 camber tops

R33 calipers, and master

R33 clutch master

R33 cradle, hubs etc.

Nismo GT-Pro

Tien rear coilovers.

R33 GTR sway bars.

We took it to The King of drift event at QR on Sunday. It wasn't great, but was respectable. Its so f**king heavy, just slides way past the clipping point. I think 1/2 the problem was putting 18's on it for the day. Someone made a mistake and got 18's instead of 17's, lucky we had a set of rims to put them on. It felt like there was lots less grip from the 18's. Any how it was heaps of fun to drive.

First Job of the day was to make sure that everyone had big offset, low skirts, RAUCOUS EXHAUST NOTE..... most passed

Some times Jedi mind control is needed "I'm a 180.....No Police Car here"

Track testing for driftability and safety is a prime concern at any event

that is awesome!!. even better if it was actually police force sanctioned

Funny thing is, it is.

It belongs to "Operation Drag" which is a part of Blue Light.

The aim of th car is part of youth at risk program which is runs in Warwick. Basically the kids enrolled in a Cert 1 mechanical course, they get to learn and work on the drift and drag cars. If they are performing well they get to come to these events as pit crew. A lot of the work that goes into building it has been voluntary and has taken about 3 years to get it to this point. The Birth of this thing has had a long teething process but, Its pretty well sorted now. Now we need to find a Police Officer that has the right credentials to learn to drift it. Thats the goal any way.

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
