Traction Issues R33 Gts25T .

[discopotato03]

Yes I get the feeling that Pilot Preceda 2s were not their high end tyre and more a slightly upmarket all rounder . Having said that they are pretty good all rounders and real good in the wet . If I go looking for 255 40s I'll probably start with Pilot Sport 2s .

Disco, I would recheck the rear camber.

Run the car with about 0.5 degree neg on the rear and it will be fine for what you are doing. New wheel alignment time and insist on the settings you want.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

diff and pineapples should do it unless your suspension is fkd

[discopotato03]

It already has pinapples in it , the full Sk Whiteline Bilstein kit not just the struts and springs .

Just thinking hard ATM about the full GTR rear end set meaning dampers uprights etc etc to the diff center . I know a few people here have done this and probably the only new bits would be the Bilsteins with the "fork" mounts .

Can someone tell me roughly what an R33 GTRs rear end bits cost second hand - meaning diff stubs shafts uprights and hubs ? Probably need lower control arms too to make it easy . The other question is do the RWD LCAs have aftermarket bushes in Whitelines kit and if so can they be reused ?

I'm going to look in the DIY/Tutorial section to see if anyones done this conversion to a RWD R33 and posted pics , cheers A .

Sorry one more , Gary tells me some R32GTSTs had clutch LSDs in them . Do their stub shafts suit GTS25Ts half shafts or do they have 3x2 bolt flanges like Silvias ?

[GTSBoy]

No R32 GTSt had a clutch LSD. They were all VLSD.

All Skylines are 5 bolt CVs, except GTRs which are 6 bolt. The 3x2 are on Silvias and the like.

[WMDC35]

non turbo skyline laurel and cefiro usually 3x2 aswell

Disco you are going the hard way about it. Alignment first. Replace 5 yr old tyres second.

[discopotato03]

I figure its going to cost me tyres and a clutch plate LSD .

Andrew I think for the costs involved may as well have a factory CLSD and doing that means hanging the 30 spline axles and matching 6 bolt shafts off it .

Really the only down side is replacing dampers that aren't worn out . It would need a wheel alignment anyway so thats just part of it .

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

you really don't listen do you?

Spend $60 on a wheel alignment, try to get the guy to run minimal negative camber and replace your dinosaur tyres. I kid you not, I made more power than you and held it flat on the ground with cheap Kumho KU31 255/40/17 tyres

[sydking]

mabey a little OT, But would a car have much dramas, Traction wise mainly with putting 300+ kw through stock open diff, Or what ever the NA has?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

N/A is open, you'll light up 1x wheel!

[sydking]

I understand the one wheel concept, Just wondering if it will have trouble putting the power to the ground. seeing as its over a 200KW jump in power, On the same diff ;/

[wolverine]

Disco, just get the alignment checked then you know what you are dealing with, assuming it is fine is not a good place to start.

A set of rear tyres is all you would need to buy IF the alignment is spot on.

[sydking]

who would be good to see for a wheel alignment, i know its a little unorthadox to ask, But i dont trust the local bridgestone/ tyre power

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

In Sydney, I bring it to BT Motorsports in Fairfield, they're also a Bridgestone Select dealer (what ever that means). They will let you go into their workshop and show you what they're doing on your car. You can also tell them what you want dialed in.

Good job + print out and they will point out any problems/issues unlike most other places. I think they have a liking for Nissans too, last time I was there, they had a nice looking GT-R in the shop with a blown gearbox, I told them to hop onto SAU as there was someone selling a sequential box.

Can't remember the dude I spoke to, but the car drove heaps better afterwards too.

Ever seen a VN Commodore single wheel up the road with only 120rwkW? Well, it'll be twice as bad as that.

I had 311rwkw with a stock gtst diff (single pegger at that power level) for about a week while my diff was in transit...

doing 100+ you would crabwalk as soon as you floored it.

^^^so that's what's wrong with my car

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

a good diff is the best shit ever!

i <3 my diff

[rondofj]

I run 235/40/18 bridgestone potenzas inflated to 40psi on +38 (shit)offset RAYS Volk lightweight wheels, stock diff I think, and a measly 200rwkw. The car came with Cusco adjustable suspension which is too hard for my liking, and is lowered to ok height.

I spin first easy and second spins a fair bit too when giving it some stick driving straight, it usually side steps, I never LAUNCH. I would really like to avoid this spinning and sidestepping, I think I'm running too much tyre pressure, too skinny tyres with bad offset and a hard suspension, maybe get some pineapples, would like to soften er up...hmmm
