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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
