I originally posted the "R34GTT vs XR6T" thread a while ago found here when test driving tipronic, turbo sixes around the 30k mark.

To cut a long story short, I had made my choice and I found the R34GTT to be the superior overall package. Now my time has finally come to take delivery of my baby. All things going well ( ie. the world not ending in some sort of freak cataclysmic-disaster) I will have the car in my hands tomorrow!

It now looks like the 3 months of waiting has finally come to an end and the four cyclinder, naturally aspirated, XX year old, lancer (our make do car) will be returning to the mother in-law. Only problem now.... I need to be able to get to sleep tonight!!!! :wassup:

Anyone have any suggestions for how to get through the final wait? (actually I think I'll be restless for the next couple of nights ;) )

i remember when i got my 33.....it was unreal. i didnt get any sleep, was up all night looking at the photos of it. everything was going sweet on pick up day....except old bud left NOOOOOOOOO fuel in it....he then told me it pings a little on optimax, but not on synergy or ultimate, on the weekend of the big NSW premium fuel shortage....had to drive like a granny for 20kms through sydney stopping at each servo to see if they had premium, ended up putting in 3 bottles of octane boost and topping up with normal unleaded until we got to the twin caltexs....really put a dampner on the day. so basically i had to drive like a granny for nearly 2 hours after picking it up. after that though....well....yeh, tyres didnt last long.

congrats bro, you made the right choice. you wont regret it.

cheers

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
