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 .

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 ?

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

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 .

A .

you really don't listen do you? :yes:

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

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.

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 ;/

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

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?

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.

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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
