Mod RWD.

Standard class is for Nissan comp and exhaust housing turbo, std injectors / AFM

Not that it would make a difference to me as I will be limited to injectors

But couldn't see AFM restriction in Martin's link

So u have hiflow iniectors, hiflow turbo and change the sticker on your afm and who would know the difference...

Aaron now I want a trophy just so I can stick it in your face. :P

lol too bad they are cutting down on cost aye..

plus i already have two Sau trophies so nehhh

Ok, I don't know what dorifto chassis is but I have a sudden craving for Doritos..

I hear they give the kids trophies just for participating these days..the whole system has lost its merit..but that's ok you enjoy your trophies young chap. ;)

Got my cams license in! But looks like I may not be attending unless Scott can get my engine mounts in before Saturday. Not really fussed about allignment. Go scott

you should be more concerned with your alignment than engine mounts :laugh: if this is your first track day you would be better off checking the wheels are straight

Second day lol.

I think i'de rather have my engine not fall out rather than extra camber lol

How much camber do you have? On streeter tyres you want to run around -2 all around anyway, even -3 is not that bad, although on the rear is a little excessive.

Engine mounts on SR's are a right PITA!

yeh they are just Nitto Invo's, being more daily than a track i didnt think semi's go to well with this weather. hopefully i can find another set of cheapo track wheels down the track.

currently about 2-2.5 on the fronts and about 1-1.5 on the rears since lifting the car abit over the weekend, the car handles much better than it did before. might take out some damper for a bit less bumpyness.

i was told the mounts arent too hard to swap out, just mine has a nice f**k off sized turbo about 1mm from the nut holding it lol hence where scott comes in.

but the current mounts are well and truely f**ked. the engines rocking a stupid amount and you can feel it wobble while idling, also the gear stick is moving quite abit so i think it needs to be done before i decide to fang it around sandown.

Mine on the 15 were dead as well. One side was easy, the other side.....not so much. iirc the drivers side one as the power steering in the way.

Camber seems fine for light track work.

I run -3 on the front and -1.8 on the rear.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
