Yeah I want to drive it around on 98 and then throw e85 in a couple weeks before a track day. 

So next things on the list are: 
Install my HICAS eliminator kit
New tyres w/ wheel alignment
Splitfires w/ retune on 25psi
Catch Can
Big Rotor upgrade w/ new pads
 

What pads do everyone recommend for a 90% street driven car? 

Couple vids on the dyno

Threw some 255/40R17 Federal 595 RS-RRs on today. Hopefully that'll fix my 2nd gear traction issue. Heading down to QR on Sunday for the Torque Time Circuit and Breakky. Fingers crossed I'll chop a few more people than I did last time :P

Finished night shift now so next week I might shoot down to a Test and Tune down at Willowbank and see what numbers she'll put down :D Expecting to run a 12 if I can drive the thing properly :P

Went down to Willowbank for test and tune last Friday for her first run with the new setup! Pretty happy with how it went, especially for the first time. End up running a 12.466 for my best time. That was with no adjustment to coilovers or anything. Heading back down tonight to play with coilovers and tyre pressures so see how we go! Will be hunting for that 11 second pass if I can get it off the line :D

Slips for last Friday.

Haven't even looked into lsd's haha! Whats the benefit over stock lsd?

Well took her back down the track tonight.. Was a successful night, tyres down and suspension softened in the rear and stiffened in the front, which got me down to a 12.1 with a shit launch still with 2.1 60ft.... 

Super stoked, I can see 11s in the near future if I can work out how to launch the thing!

Torque is split 50/50 across the wheels where as a VLSD at best is doing 30/70 thus you're frying one wheel more than the other. 

I barely can spin 2nd on my car with a fair bit of power where as dudes with less power are frying 3rds on the stock VLSD.

Still have to do those screen grabs for you off Nistune, haven't forgotten just super busy when I get home :(

I'll upload some vids soon. I either wheel spin or bog it haha... Yeah that's the plan but I wanna run 11s first with my current setup. Can anyone tell me if 15s fit on the back?

Oh sweet, are they crazy in the wet? I'm dailying it atm and don't wanna die... Will have to look into a 1.5 way I think.

Got a new muffler put on last week. The cannon on it was waaay too loud, so put this big sucker in and quietened it down heaps.. Maybe a little too much but it's good.

Aftermarket lsd helps alot with traction
With the standard diff in my r33
i use to fry 2nd gear around corners
Now struggles in 1st but fairly standard now
After i put in a ats carbon 2way lsd
Only abit clunky when going slow around corners like parking or roundabouts but as soon as you accelerate goes
Need more power

Thats a good time 12.1 @ 122mph for a heavy car
My old 180sx with 266kw best i could run was a 12.4 @ 124mph but still stock diff
Even ran et streets but i cant launch
On the road gripped up awesome with the et street was like a awd when i changed gear just alil chirp
But lauching at the track was a different story

Not a lot has happened lately, just been driving it on the weekends now i've fixed my 4wd. She's due for a service now, so I'll get around to that next week now I'm on holidays :D 

Went down today and ordered in some Hankook RS3s in 235 front and 255 rear. Hopefully they'll give me a bit more traction than my federals. Next step is an LSD I think.

Put a deposit down on my plates yesterday!! Thought it was pretty cool (my last name is Sum).

Got the RS3s thrown on today. Keen to see how they perform compared to my old Federal RS-RRs.

Also ordered braided lines and Intima SR pads from Dose Pipe :cool: To top it off ordered HFM 324mm and 337mm Front and rear big brake kits:banana:

Got the brakes all done on Christmas Eve. Braking is way better and no more warped rotors causing shakes at highspeed braking... Pedal feel feels a bit soft at the start though. This is how she sitting atm, looks sweet with the brakes filling the wheels :)

Went down to the Gold Coast on Boxing day to have a look at a couple of r33's for my mate. Nothing decent around atm in his price range. But I picked up a few new parts while we were down there :) Picked up a new fog light cover, need to get it painted this week and throw it on. Better condition steering wheel, Nismo 300km dash, and some stock tail lights. Not sure if I wanna put the stock tail lights back in yet or not though.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
