look for mods else where

Do you know what happen if I convert to manual n did not change my auto diff to a proper manual diff?

Is there any difference between R33 diff from cars with ABS and cars without ABS?

Thx for the info Meggala... I can then keep my diff, no point spending $$ on a manual diff then. That would not throw my

speedo accuracy away, isn't it??? Cause speed sensor is

not taken from the rear wheels?

MrMayhem, if the ABS sensor IS on the nose of the diff, then I might as well keep my diff as sourcing a 2nd hand manual diff I might end up getting a non ABS one. But I think ABS sensor should be on the 4 wheels, coz on the diff doesn't make sense to me, as a good ABS system should be able to apply different brake pressure to different wheels depending which one is locking.

Basically, if we do the maths....

4.3/4.1=1.049 (4.9% increase)

So if a manual skylines doing +/- 2500rpm at 100km/h,

then with a 4.3 diff it should be doing 2622rpm at

the same speed...

Also means top speed will be reduced by 5%...

But at 250 or 270km/h @ 7000rpm, anyone would be mad to

try that

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
