What size is the tyre and do you know what camber specs? its pretty much the look I'm aiming for.

275/35 .. Camber specs are changing this saturday again so I'll give you final numbers then.. I think front camber will be somewhere like -4.0 and -3.0 at the rear, but i'll confirm on saturday.

So it has been a while since I've updated this and there has been a lot happen since the last update... So here goes!

Bought an ARC intercooler, Ikeya Rear LCA's and ARC (Auto Refine Company) fully adjustable sway bars

You can see the difference to stock sway bars here.. These made a world of difference to the handling. (I probably should've done them sooner)

Fitted them along with the Ikeya rear LCA's.

Fitted the ARC Intercooler as the stock one was looking worse for wear, and I actually picked up throttle response as a result!!

Now the front end looks so much cleaner!

Then we had an event to promote Gran Turismo Sport at World Time Attack and I had the privilege to be on track with many other great cars!

Also managed to snap a shot of Keiichi Tsuchiya with my car after I got to drive on track with him!

And now that all of the suspension components have been changed to fully adjustable gear, it was time to upgrade the brakes!

So final pic with standard Brembos on it.

Then we started to get to work and pulled everything off..

Cut a small section off the backing plate and the hub (part that holds the factory brake line in place) then fitted the adapter.

I love how good these things look and how massive they are!

20171103_095059.jpg


So skipping ahead, we mounted the brackets and calipers and got to work on fitting the braided lines and modifying the hard lines to suit..

For the rears we used the Supertec bells as it was so much easier and has a big weight saving too, compared to the standard R35 units..

20171103_144929.jpg

While we were at it, we upgraded to the BM57 as it utilizes a larger bore and improves pedal feel etc etc.

20171103_152002.jpg

Finally mounted the rotors

Bled the brakes and used only the best fluid available.

20171102_170325.jpg


Hosed down the underbody to remove any potential brake fluid lingering around.

End Result.....

I cannot begin to explain how big of a difference this made over the standard brembos, you need to experience it to understand, and i'm only using the standard brembo pads that came from factory with the calipers.

So I haven't updated this in a while because no time/lazy.

A lot has happened in the past month and I finally accumulated the parts I needed to get things moving.

So here's a pic as it tells a 1000 words.

Expecting it to be tuned within the next 2 days on 98 and E85.

Parts added are:

(1.2mm Tomei headgasket is already done)

Kelford 272 degree cams
Kelford Beehive valve springs and Ti retainers

Tomei cam gears

ARP2000 headstuds

Plazmaman fuel rail

ID 1700cc Injectors

FPG twin 460 walbro in-tank setup

HKS T51R SPL BB

HKS 60mm GTII wastegate

4inch from the dump pipe down to an ARC 4inch titanium exhaust

So tuning is finally complete!!

It's now making 364rwkw (23psi) on pump 98 and 472rwkw on E85 (30psi) and rev limit has been upped to 8,500rpm.

Kept it relatively safe because I care about the motor!. Will take it down to the strip and just do a mph run to see what it's capable of soon.

It is great seeing other people's setup and appreciating the hard work and $$$ that have gone into the build.

The gauges look great. Do you have a wider angle pic showing how they fit into the interior?

    • 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?
