Maria,

Does your 'line have an active LSD diff or traction control??

Being a 1998 model it might..

Hmmm I'm not sure... I think it might I haven't had any traction problems when I take off from the lights and end up 4/5 car lengths in front? (without trying?)

LOL, ummm.... both really. Both have thier good points and sort of do different things.

Traction control would be great for big HP cars.

When you've got your clutch fixed, do a 5000rpm dump and see what she does :(:D

Andrew - sorry for hi-jacking your thread....

yeah very modified and costs a shitload of cash to even get it to that. Theyre a shit car to mod compared to something like the EVO. Even the AVO boss himself said it in an interview. He only likes EVOs and GTRs.

Not even massive HP - his old car (now mine) can just sit there off wasting away the tires if u just dump it.

Traction control just electronically regulates the throttle anyway - nice, but nothing a human can't do if on the ball. More useful on corners where it can counter human stupidity :( ATESSA though in a GTR is a whole different thing.

Hey, coool, you can buy aftermarket traction control kits .... (me thinking)

I've never heard of factory TC on any Skyline.

R34 GT-T has traction control on the turbo as standard. I think on some of the later R33 series 2 (97 or newer) it came with traction control also an option.

I don't think there are many aftermarket kits available actually.. racelogic makes one (UK) apparently. Prolly not cheap.

Did you get your r32? If so is it a silver one with Enkei's on it? If it is I though it was Keir Wilson's car (9 sec SA GTR)when I saw a silver GTR the other day in 7th St!. As far as worrying about Scoobs in town, the STI's arent your worry. The STI's that are modded are mainly show, not go. My mates 00 (non sti) has a fair bit of gear from APS, and has stax of torque down low, but will eat 300kw GEN 3's. Will pull hard from 1000 rpm and falls off about 6 1/2. As far as drags go, dunno. He wants his car to last. As far as track performance is concerned, the APS 600 HP car will just outrun his down Sandown main straight (and they have more tyres/suspension/balls thru the corners) BUT.....at a track day a while ago the 2nd fastest car (after the 600hp demo sube) was a fairly stockish r33! Give me a yell if this is you in the 32 with the Enkei's, I wana have a look at your car if I can.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
