Does the vehicle above have a lsd in the front housing .

If not where can i get one , and if it does what sort of hp will it handle and how do i stop on hard launch and further doen the track, the car giong to one side .

Who knows the best way and where to get a seriuosly tough manual box , are the later skyline 6 speeds any tougher?

Want to drag the vehicle and around 750 - 800 atw.

Any help appreciated

Front diff not an lsd...id change the rear diff before i looked at the front...both front and rear 1.5 way cusco diff are the way to go.

Pfitzner manual box is ideal if its purely a track car...otherwise if it sees street use then id lean towards a 5 speed OS giken gearset with input shaft.

Thank's for your suggestions, i was told that the front diff is wshy the car pulls hard to one side when going down the strip, it needs to be LSD.

Cusco ? Who or where do i get these?

Why the rear first?

I have had no problems with car pulling hard other than torque steering...easily controlled with steering input...

any jap supplier wiil do for a diff

The car going hard to one side sound more like a suspension problem or handling

It might even be worth check the condition of the std open diff as i killed one at the drags not that long ago (tore it to pieces not pretty)

Its not subframe movement?

 

My bushes have recently got a little sloppy, I noticed the subframe pulling forward on the dyno.

 

Plant the foot and I find it steers the car slightly.

Nah , all little off track ( pardon the pund ) every thing you guys have mentioned is A OK

. The car definetly pulls to the right on a hard launch , and as i increase the hp it's going to do this even more . I believe it's to do with the front diff not bieng LSD. I am going to change it.

What does 1.5 and or 2 mean, in regards to the diff .?

1 way diff only locks up under acceleration. 2 way locks up under acceleration, and decelleration. 1.5 fully locks up under acceleration and partially locks up under decceleration.

if you are going to put 800kw to the ground I would consider possibly a 6 speed sequential hollinger box.

    • I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.
    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
