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.

Edit:

And here is a pic of all the bit o diff that came out. Prolly heaps more in there.

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.

Got my Diff rebuilt, biiiiig shout out to Martin at Tas Mobile Mech for getting it done for me! Also to Dave.TAS for helping source the parts!

Here is the old vs new shot

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, not good!

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!

your front bar nearly lasted the whole day to :whistling: jokes aside you and the car did really well :thumbsup:

Hahah yeah that front bar Copped it hard!

Cheers man :)

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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
