If your getting traction once the tyres warm up then it might be worth trying some different tyres that will work when cold. I've got 265KW and use federal 595SS and they hold traction really well, well in the dry anyway. i've put some different tyres on the back before and it was nothing but wheelspin. Other than that you could run less boost or get a tuner to adjust the tune so you get more traction in the top end which sounds lame (less power) but it will work out to be quicker than wheelspin.

Yeah it becomes an expensive exercise changing tyres...!

I think i'd like to try the ABS signal -> Haltech torque reduction feature... sounds pretty neat.

When the car was on the dyno for an E50 tune, after a few runs the things were like glue. But even spinning them like mad all the way to work (10kms) when i get there they certainly ain't sticky... they cost me $600 a pop and i spent AGES researching and heard rave reviews but perhaps they were more track oriented...? :ermm:

Yeah sounds like they are more track oriented. KU36s can be had for $240-280 even for wide rears. Its important to work out what driving you do and what tyres suit best. I just went through that recently and I mostly either just commute and occasionally have a quick squirt so I need the tyres up to temp quick and doesnt matter if they get hot after 3-4 laps as I dont do anything like that. I can spend more to get better track performance and wet weather performance but I dont drive hard in the wet anyway either.

Dont throw your current tyres out just wait till they are stuffed. At the rate you are wheelspinning it shouldnt be too long haha

Go for a drive and if you lay 2 lines then dont worry about the diff. A good diff is more for getting the power down earlier out of corners but generally you sacrifice noise and shuddering etc. Your complaint of wheelspin in a straight line is not going to be solved by a diff if its already turning both wheels.

I had a Cusco diff... was the one with the springs in it to lessen the clunking/banging... it was still noisy and would shudder sometimes but well worth it to get the car handling properly IMO

1.5 wasy nismo gt lsd pro tt over here... i fkn LOVE my diff

Im not sure if its the same story but I swapped out my whole rear cradle for a GTR one, mines a R33 GTS-T though.

Much better hook up, no more open wheeling, and the axles/half shafts are bigger as well.

The whole swap cost less than a new aftermarket center.

Joey,

What positive changes did you see in performance when you put in a 1.5LSD?

My cars pretty violent in the first few gears and nothing short of soft. Running 275/19 NT05s and considering downgrading to 18s and slapping on some NT05R Drag Radials. Its making close to 300kw @ 4000rpm so its very on song. Traction is a bit of a issue these days

Would you recommend upgrading to a 1.5?

What setup have you got that's making 300 by 4k rpm? Traction would be an issue with that i'm sure! My 300 (on E50) is not up til 5.5k rpm.

But if your diff is gone then you will still get wheelspin when your expensive tyre is heated up. But you dont, therefore it would seem getting some tyres that get up to temp quickly is your first avenue.

Agreed. Just thinking of down the track when this car doesn't see the public roads anymore...

Yup gotcha, there is definitely place for a nice diff just didnt want to see you doing it to chase this issue.

the car hooks up instantly every time and goes IN A STRAIGHT LINE when the wheels spin ;)

for a car with that much power dont go the TT model tho, just get the normal model and deal with the noise :)

what do you use the car for?

yeh i notice mine always kicks out to the drivers side ALL the time.

The cars a street drag car. Custom drag suspension and all that. No sideways action at all.

seriously considering a LSD but i think some Drag radials should be next

i'd probably look at a nismo/kaaz 2 way then.... it's an absolutely amazing upgrade for a car, but if you're going to go drag radials, dont get the tt... just get the noisiest, clunkiest strongest one you can ;)

if your car is crabwalking you aren't putting down all your power, so it's just a waste :)

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
