Bunging around a bit in the old garage trying to make a half descent looking catchcan/coolant over flow. Spent about 6 hours starring at it like a physco before the wheels started turning in my brain. This is what I got so far. Not so bad for the average maple leaf warrior.  Fittings for catchcan will be on the backside beside fuse box with a nice drain line ran out bottom to beside my frame where i can reach out twist a valve to let the blow by shinanigins out, cheers chaps have a fantastic day🤟

Started installing the meth kit last night, managed to get it mounted so I could still access the awd resevior. Battery is located on other side I figured this was a nice spot for it. Cheers mates.

Party unit installed 

I call it poor mans e85. I can’t afford that stuff we have to order it by barrel around here. We have no gas pump for e85 within 1200km. Non the less I’m still going to crank it to 30psi

We are kind of lucky in parts of Australia where you can just get it off the pump.

However that duopoly has dropped down to monopoly and not sure how long it will last.

There may be a time where I'll end up with WMI as well.

I fricken tell yeah mates I must have went at these lock rings for 2 hours, I used just about every product under the sun till I finally got some acetone inside the ring area/ wire brush till nothing left of brush, and lightly tapped/ smashed the hell out of them with a punch I made out of a bolt and got them loose, I got some 275’s I want to clear without rolling or touching my fenders and I hate the rear camber so I brought her up a fair bit. I like when gtr’s sit high up looks like they mean business. Anyway someone tell me what the hell these coil overs are that I have.....they say npg but that means nothing to me lol, maybe eBay I dunno I’m not a scientist. They feel great tho I must say.

Yeah theyre a bastard when they dont come loose....

 

They look like Ohlins coil overs to me but they normally have pretty clear Ohlins branding on them. 

When i was told i couldnt get them unlocked by another mate i was determined, i truely believe the acetone was the key but again im no scientist maybe they just finally decided to come free after 100 swings with hammers. i started small and the hammers kept getting bigger. 

ive got the ride height 358mm from hub centre to fender in rear, and 355 in front. i mainly did this to clear some big 275/40/r17's on my regas and get rid of the nasty camber in the rear it used to have. who ever had the suspension set up before had it sagging in the rear like crazy for what ever stupid idea car handled like shizznit. once the 10 feet of snow is gone i might actually be able to try this 100k paper weight out and enjoy it with the family again.....hard starring at it everyday she wants the beans giving to her bad. will be fitting a ppg dog set soon!

Acetone mixed 50:50 with auto trans fluid is awesome.

9 times out of 10 works every time!

i was this close to taking them off, buying 4 big bottle of coke and cut the tops off and leave them in there over night to free them up. glad it never got to that point. cheers mate

Does anyone know where to source out dashes these days? mine has taken a turn for the worst and is bubbling quite hard(can see in picture above)?

Pretty much every r32 dash in existence has bubbles like that. You either need to fluke a good second hand one (almost impossible), or re-cover or flock it.

thanks mate, i will try a recover.

A little hick up with the head and now I’m back in action. I had my doubts of the new engine even working as this was my first setup self tuned motor. Might work out a dyno day to tighten it up but it’s fine for now for some family cruising. Pump with meth on 25 psi is plenty feels like 550whp.  Good to be driving the gtr everyday now. It’s a good strong setup I’m happy as hell with it now. 9:5:1 compression makes for some nice tourque but had to turn timing way down. Cheers.

    • 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?
