f*k welded diffs

they are too dangerous IMO

Oh I dont know ;)

I loved the Durability & predictablity of the Mini spool in my old 340rwHP R31.

It could be thrown around with ease, No understeer to talk of, the only issue being stress on certain parts of car and low speed maneuverability. ;)

PSI_GTSII, where can u buy a spool for a r32 skyline diff?

I've looked and haven't found anyone who sells them.

My understanding of how a spool works, is it replaces the spider gears inside the diff, but effectively does the same thing as locking it up. I don't see how you wouldn't get any more or less understeer as with a locked diff......

A spool is a locked diff is it not.

Anyway, one of my mates has a locked diff in a fairly fast car (10.7sec) it is welded. Now his problem with it is that he feels it is not balanced properly, as it is very difficult to get the welds even. This is where a spool would help I would think. Going by what hes saying anyway.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
