Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

After speaking to Terry at award, he said for the love of god, use a sprung centre. It doesn't matter what box you have behind it, a bit of give in the driveline goes along way.

Exedy is dreadful, based on running a twin plate in past - yuk

pretty much more brutal than my os giken triple plate & that is saying something

ive never driven a coppermix but that will change when you're back on the road :)

That surprises me, I have the Exedy twin in my 32 and the triple in my 34 and find both very very easy to drive, the triple is a bit noisy though

Paul, what happened to the email you where sending me about payment for said boxes ?

29th of October last year. All good.

But yeah, I'm itching to get it out.

cant believe you just didn't wack on standard box in the meantime and use the car

Question......all the E85 in the sperm whale would be totally wasted am I right and battery included too?

I had a box sitting in the garage since Australia Day. It. Never made it in the car because it's been sitting at my mates workshop getting the boot seam welded and shit. I won't bother putting it in now lol.

I made sure there was no ethanol in the tank. Drove around diluting it until it was E0. The battery have been on trickle charge in the workshop :)

Personally, I would be have written correspondence from OS-Giken confirming what clutch you should or shouldn't run. A friend was one of the first to run one in his car and when it went pop they OS Giken Japan blamed the sprung clutch. IIFC his was a dog sequential not helical so may make the difference between being open to using a sprung centre if you are going helical

What broke exactly ?

Would you happen to have details of car, ie power, capacity etc

This troubles me, if I'm forking out this kind of coin on a box I really don't want to hear they are breaking unless it was on some massive monster of a car

The ones we are looking at are dog engagement helical cut sequentials with straight cut reverse

I have also long suspected sprung centers have no place in high powered car or need to have stronger springs so they don't bind

That's a very valid point, Pete.

Maybe just throw a R3C at it and be done with it.

Also, Brett pointed out that the OS88 is a push type setup. Which means that my pull type coppermix wouldn't have worked anyway.

What a cock in the bum hole!

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
