Ahhh ok, are you having ignition issues?

not that I know about?

They said my exhaust could be 3.5" to allow for better flow,but it is 3.5" so I guess they meant 4" ,haha

I asked for the exhaust system to be quiet without restricting the flow, but now it seems to be too small for the 3.2, but ?

I'm sure it is torquey.....for a 2.6

but compare it to...oh I dunno a blown 6.2 LSA...both at road speeds and revs.

That's what I was getting at

What about a 8.8ltr with a 8/71 superchager in a Mach 1 mustang ?

I walked one of those by 2 car lengths from a rolling start, is that what you mean

  • Like 1

3.5 is probably too small pete.. I'd say you need a 4 inch for the first half.. 3.5 after should be fine

Will look into that tomorrow, thanks

If I change the exhaust now, will that throw the tune out ?

What about noise, in a small town I am toast if it pisses people off . Especially the boss

Had a chance this morning to go a little harder for a short bit.

Let it go @ 5000rpm, a little 4 wheel spin and away it went, into 2nd @ 6500 and a little spin and off it went, no lag :)

Mates road is not that long but will try a 6000rpm launch tomorrow and see how it goes, just to get the feel, cannot really test it, by the time I get to 6000rpm in 2nd, I have run out of asphalt road and his house gets in the way :w00t:

Hold the hand brake and slip the clutch a little just before you let go to build boost. If I can bake all fours with 300kw slipping at 5000rpm you should have no dramas.

I do that now, this coppermix is easy, well except for the hand brake :)

What tyres do you have on ? I just got a little spin at 5000 and did not expect any ?

I think with the Quaife front diff and the Trannie mods it makes it takes off like all the wheels are joining in the fun at the start ??

The difference I find without going to a full power type launch is it holds the line , no wobble just gets going where you are pointing it , before it would want to move around a bit more at the arse end.

I am not a real car bloke and find it hard to explain the difference, but it is easier now, smoother and feels balanced if that makes sense ?

Let you know what it is like at 7000rpm ish tomorrow, just have to find out :)

I'm running AD08's at the moment. My clapped out 4WD system probably doesn't help so you most likely have a fair bit more traction than I do.

If it doesn't bog down and just gets up and goes them I'm sure all is well.

Before the build I had 345awkw and it had to be 7000rpm not to get a bit of lag, would have been interesting to see how that worked with the new clutch.

I have some AD08Rs , 265/35 X 18 ready to go on.

Do you like your AD08s

Wouldn't have changed. 2.6 will always need rpm with that setup.

For me, anything above 5000rpm works but I guess little turbo's help.

That's the size I run and I love them. Awesome on the street and track.

what turbos do you have ?

Not having the torque I thought with a more forgiving clutch it would rev threw the initial engagement , instead of that on/off of the OS quad. Not sure what I mean,need a red :)

The coppermix isn't slipping, it's just nicer under the foot.

The clutch can't help the nugget 2.6 unfortunately. ;)

I did not say slipping, they engage as you want them to, slow or just let them go.

But who gives a shit, this car is a heap of shit the way it is, still wont go over 6000rpm without going tits up, so much for them fixing the problem on Monday, shit I had to stay another night in a Hotel for them to take it for a drive around the bloke , they should have put it on the dyno for fark sake !!!!!!

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
