Mate I'm only going on what I have heard in the pits at super series rounds. I didnt think it could make THAT much of a difference but apparently it does. Some interesting chat at the last round about splitters and rear wings. I'll report back here when I've givin it a lash.

from everything i've read the front splitter increases front end downforce by a huge amount increasing front end grip for better turn in and mid corner front end response, couple this with a balanced rear wing and it'll increase mid corner speeds dramatically.

ideally, if you go over the top and create a full under car splitter ending with rear diffuser you will see even more gains ;) front end grip always seems to be a weak point for skylines (well gtst's anyways ive noticed) so i guess anything you can do to help is good!

what info did you get from the pits jack? keen to learn more.

i belive that there is a particular amount that the difuser should rais by as it goes inwards of the car. to grate and it wont work. but to make it work regardless you really need to have a full flat floor.

regardless of if they work or not they look tuff in my opinion.

well, actually its a bit of a lie because part of the info came from someone I know who is a regular track warrior in nsw. the diamensions/surface area etc and how much the splitter protrudes past the bar etc but what I was told looked to be very very simular to what I saw on nunn's and sheriff's cars - well proven beasties

however, I didnt bust out the measuring tape and spirit level lol, otherwise I may have had a race boot lodged up my arse.

I know that some of the cars I have seen on the mainland run a small lip, gurney flap type thing at the front of the splitter and the splitter appears to be paralell with the ground apart from that, and I recall one of the 32's down here have a simular design, not 100% sure tho.

because ally is flexible, and the way i intend to mount it (at the rear), i'm hoping to be able to adjust the angle quite easily. also, the turnbuckles actaully do have adjustment on the front, around 10mm actually so I will have a few options to play with. at the moment, the car is undergoing other tweaks (bilsteins instead of shitheap Teins, different sway bars, few odd things here and there), so I will maybe wait till I have a fresh set of semi's on it once i've stopped playing with the rest and i'll spend a day or 5 playing with angles and also rear wing angles/gurney flap. At the end of the day its trial and error I guess the rules remain the same but every car is different but hey thats the fun of datsun ownership =D

really, its not like i'm setting out to win superlap or anything lol, its just a bit of fun and if i feel improvments and I can go faster then yay, if not oh well. keep trying haha

yiew, remsa pads ordered from gsl rallysport

apparently they are better than the hpx's but not as agressive as the ar1m's

got a set of fronts coming for the stagea and the corolla :)

i also added some urethane goo to the front engine mount on the corolla ninja.gif super-dodgy fix ftw!

Will shortly be looking for a S13, S14, 180sx, R32 2 door or 4 door, or a cefiro shell on the cheap for a street registered play toy to put my RB in. Not fussed bout rolling or front ends as I will bolt all my skyline gear straight on. Needs to be straight, complied, registered or within 3 month period, and if not a R32 4 door shell then interior will help ;)

Oh god...and my parents call me bad if I have a daily, a toy, and a shell lol. I got tax back already so I think I should avoid mixing alchohol and cars for sale or I might do a repeat of your weekend efforts :unsure: Already bought a full clear light set for the S13 out of tax money :whistling:

Looks pretty good Jack..

I know alot of the guys in the states that add front aero have to re-support the front bar. Or support the front splitter seperately to the front bar. Maybe somthing to look into?

only , r34 , r33 , r32 and a el falcon , and a troopy and the 32 shell and the a31 shell oh and the purple a31 :whistling::blush:

No HQ race car anymore??

That's awsome Toff... simply awsome... I should bring my missus round to your garage to see that 'my' addiction, isn't THAT bad.. ha ha ha.

When do you want me to bring the turbos kit over???

Cheers

Justin

oh well, give it some love, ???? profit?

Yeah , i'm guessing that's what i was thinking , the guy was going to wreck it because a wheel fell off (thanks to one of his mates) , it's my old yellow 4d

zip ties mate, she'll be rite lol. yeah Until I test it obviously I wont know how much bracing/extra bracing it will need.

Small update for me is a I found a steering rack and cross member thanks to Ti (will get onto getting it picked up asap :D ) so once I've got them infront of me I can start nutting out fitting power steering into the 32 and finally get the motor position right.

Oh and change the suspension over (thanks again to Ti :D ) so I can nut out wheel arches and brake set up clearance. Seeing as this is the first year I will actually get a tax return for sometime I thought Id use it wisely but then I had a rethink and decided to blow it on the car...

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
