White whale ready for tomorrow :D changed diff oil now, it was very shiny and had a couple of bits in it so hopefully it'll be better with fresh oil and stop peg legging!

Autobarn were the only people who had Motul FF LSD oil and it was hidden behind some other oil too.

Nope, still peg legging :( heaps.

Only got a 67 :( Which was rather embarrassing seeing as I got a 66 in Dan's 33 :P

New tyres are really good though, getting some good entry speeds, rear is pretty wild though. Maybe need a big wing to settle it down?

Or softer setting on the rear sway bar? softening the rear dampers helps too yes?

Just going off what I read on here

So, I've got the Nismo GT Pro LSD 2 way diff.

For future reference and if any one else needs to know about rebuilding a Nismo 2 way here are the two PDFs you'll need

Just putting them here for later :) of if anyone else needs to rebuild a Nismo two way diff.

it should be if it's a gt pro

http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competition/lsd/gt_lsdpro.html

if you pop the shafts out, there will be a 19mm hex head under one of them. You have the option of 3 settings soft med and hard

I didn't install it so I've got nfi, I'll pop the shafts off this weekend and scout it out.

I'm thinking rebuild might be required though because when I dropped the oil out lots of bits came out, looks like some one's put a fist full of 5c pieces in a blender.

New fiber glass guards should contain my wheels nicely.

Installed.

Installing them was easier than sitting down, one hint though, to remove the Traction arm, you need to have the camber arm out of the way. I only noticed this after I'd installed the camber arm and had it all torqued up.

Fresh Diff felt amazing though and I managed to rip some pretty good skids on Saturday at the Time attack.

I think the 3rd one is my Fav :D Might have to get a print and hang it up at work to remind me why I go there every day.

Results from the day were, 6th in Drift and 2nd in Time attack (Race Class)

Casualties were, another radiator hose and the loom that goes up in the front guard so now non of my accessories work :( Managed to test the endurance of my car though, lasted a whole Time attack session, like 30 mins easy, water temp didn't get above 90 :) I was doing like 2 hot laps and 4 cool down laps then two hot laps, ect ect.

It was a really special day, I just wish more skylines were there to share the experience :) Next time though! all you assholes have to come play too!

Hahah yeah that front bar Copped it hard!

Cheers man :)

Here is a pic of me not going sideways, a rare sight I know.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
