His arse....

Still, from a outsider looking in, he talks the talk, but I haven't seen any slips or natsoft times.

Not saying his builds aren't impressive, it's just they have massive holes that let the rest down.

It's weird, his S15 is the most under engineered over engineered build I've seen for years.

Meh, let me know when you hit the strip, I'll bet a bag of donuts my old $10k VX SS commodore smokes Bokemons S15.

And it will do it all night long.

Now, where do I put this dirty spoon....?

 

This will cheer you boys up, Tiguan under 2 years old with less than 29k kms on it has a cracked thermostat housing.

It's going back next week for a new thermostat housing LOL.

GTR is full house. S15 will be full house with a bottom end, gearbox and brakes, not too far off, the rest of the car has had every part replaced LOL. When those big three items are working fine I'd rather get use out of them until they break.

  • 2 weeks later...

I entered the Easter roll racing event and after it being cancelled again and again due to some flu going around the event was finally run on Friday night. 
 

I have managed to fix the traction issues and the car ran pretty much straight all night, I started on the lower boost setting and got a feel for it, then went up to the medium one and got a feel of that. Then I turned it up to the high setting and got a slight wiggle in the steering wheel but nothing to worry about but then it happened....... It lifted the head :( 

if I’m honest I can’t say it wasn’t expected, it’s the original head gasket that had some head studs put in without removing the head. So now i need to decide where to go from here 

here’s a video of the run where the head lifted, yes I got destroyed by that lambo 

  • Sad 2

Inserts "Get a Samsonas" joke? 

Damn man, so it was running after market headstuds and still lifted the head? Probably head gasket was breached in the past.

Just send it, build it and put a Samsonas behind it.

Great build mate, it’s come a long way, I think you are just around the corner from me, I live in Harrington park, we should organise a drive one day, if both cars are ever running at the same time ??

Also, I’d love to pick your brain on a few things, seems our builds are similar. Mine lifted the head a while ago, got it sorted now but the build has kind of run away from me and is doing what it likes, I just pay the bills ?

Thanks mate, looks like we are around the corner because I’m in Currans hill. Would love to go for a drive some time!

I don’t think my build will ever be to the level of yours but anything I can help with I’m happy to help

I definitely don’t want to end up as far down the hole as you but I’d like to fix some weak points 

Crank collar, Nitto oil pump, restrictors, sump vent, bearings, new seals all round, and Samsonas ?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
