Suspension And Drive Line Help Needed


Recommended Posts

Drummond Motor sport have finished the coilovers but cant dial in the drive split.

Can anyone guide me (or them) through how to do it.

This is todays email about teh car tested with new coilovers.

"We had a good day at winton! results where good.

It was good to have both Jeff and Ben drive the car.

Jeff has a lot of experience and also does tyre testing with Bridgestone etc etc.

Ben has more experience in cars like the R35 (his evo uses a similar gearbox.)

Jeff did the first runs and Ben finished the day.

Ben's imput was important in regards to Race circuit use and Jeff's imput was important in regards to Targa type events.

As a Targa Car! the car is great and is very forgiving and easy to drive. (traction control on)

As a Circuit car! we need to do more work, we need to work out how to dial in the drive split.

The car with out Traction control: The car has power oversteer! this means the split isn't correct and needs to be adjusted for the race circuit to achieve the very best times from the car.

Ben said he was able to induce power oversteer at any time."

Hi Dominic

I had my R35 there last weekend

I would be very interested in what sort of times you were getting around the track in the R35?

Dominic I spoke to these guys about your vehicle.

There is no dialling of the drive split, its controlled by the VDC system mapping and driven by an electromagnetic clutch assy.

Its time we had a look at your transmission I think and rectified a small problem before it becomes a big one....

Either that or turn it into a drift car :blush:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
