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...

racingnut2.jpg

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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
