Yeah I think an experienced passenger would be a great idea, my cousin has an R33 GTR running 400+kw or something silly like that who races in a lot of club events, also have a mate who races a F/Ford so I will try and get them down there to give me some help.

16' wheels are a great idea but my 93 Supra has the 97 updated brakes which wont fit, I also like to have some decent tyres on the road as well so its not a complete waste.

Any of you guys competed in any events with the Toyota Car Club? I was thinking of joining but dont really know much about them, by their website it looks like they have mainly older Toyota's?

Can't say I've competed with the Toyota club down here, but the MR2 club is pretty good and the Track Secretary is a mate of mine. Also the WRX club is good and the burgeoning SAU Vic club will kick all ass when CAMS approves us :(

Yeah bring the Supra and join SAU Vic! Already have a guy with an NSX talking of joining us - man that would make for some great looking track days if we could get the supra along too.

BTW - if you don't mind getting semi-comps for tyres (they are the best for the track afterall) then the Bridgestone RE55's are the best and the cheapest. They'll be around $350 / corner.

Me and Roy are looking at going to the PIARC weekend in August 21-22. You can join us (we've never raced there before) - you can even join PIARC (another popular car club in Vic) and get your CAMS on the day.

Just heard from the guy Im buying the car off "tonight" that it will cost him 3k to get a RWC and he's thinking of pulling out.... grrrr :D :bs!: :) :throwup:

bad words

/bad words

Assuming the sale goes through I will definately head down, my cousin should be taking his GTR down that weekend too so even if I dont have a car yet I may head down with him!

WOOT the guy is gonna fix up the RW items and I can pick the car up mid next week. He is fitting new brake pads to the car and I said I would pay the difference between normal pads and some performance pads. What is a good performance pad and where is the best place to buy them?

If the thing has way more then std hp then you may have to look for something a little more suitable

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
