I replaced my standard rear GTR diff with a Nismo 2way a while back, the best way to describe it is it makes the car a lot more predictable, it used to snap sideways when braking traction, now it just drifts perfectly. It was even more noticeable in 2wd when I broke the front diff recently.

I'm in the process of fitting a Quaife ATB diff after all of the positive reviews (like Piggaz) to the front.

Ford factory fit these on the 300hp Focus RS front wheel drive, and it got rave reviews for being able to put the power down without sledging.

Bought a Do-Luck DTMII G-Sensor unit. Should be interesting, it combines throttle input with g sensor readings to improve the Attessa.

As for the diffs, just want to test the 4wd first before thinking about changing the front diff.

Is it worth putting a quaife in the rear or is 1.5/2 way diff enough?

Anyway, now just waiting for the g sensor and wheels to arrive from Japan, then I can slap on the brakes, wheels, tyres and get her stickered up and ready to go!

In the meantime, going to pull out the shocks and suss out the suspension. Had some pretty serious understeer issues last time out.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can find these boot clips? They can be found both the Calsonic GTR and the Winfield car.

any ideas?

thanks Shaun, is there any advantage to buying the adjustable type?

Is it possible to buy these locally?

Because the latches are hard mounted it would be difficult to get the spacing between the latch and catch right so that it's neither too tight or loose when latched, having the adjustable latch would mean you can fine tune it and wouldn't have to get the spacing spot on.

Love what you're doing by the way, will be watching with interest :)

Some timing huh, I just bought my rims not long ago!

It's only a set of two though, and I would be looking long and hard to find another two to match.

Thanks for that though much appreciated! How's the Primera coming along?

got a Little time out on the Project we bought a house so i have a other things to do hope i have time for the Primera in the summer month :rolleyes:

regards Mario

Mario Mario Mario.........you know that the order of priority is GTR first everything else second!

kiddin.

Keen to see more progress of this build soon ;)

Tried fitting the C5C's. Got a few issues, one of which being the wheel nuts can't be secured as they aren't long enough. Also, not sure if they are going to fit under the guards when sitting on the ground. They have plenty of brake clearance though. Anyway, here's some photos:1896961_10153975789040301_1557877315_n.j

Anyone know where I can get super long wheel nuts?

if referring to these...

they are outside and 19mm socket too, but lock nut has got plenty of length on it. there are heaps of inside lock nuts, just need to shop around.

with wheels like that, i'd also be careful of how much thread you got available for the nuts. If not much, say hello to longer studs too. yay.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
