ive just had my car dyno tuned so im heading down to WSID on wednesday 14th of this month to check it all out.

ill be getting there at around 6:00-6:30 which should be enough for 5-6 runs.

ill be heading down with my brother (m3 convertible), and a few mates (wrx, prelude, 200sx, skyline)

prices are $45 if you're racing and $11 (i think) for spectators.

a few things to note:

- you must bring a helmet

- must be wearing full length pants, and a full length jumper.

- current years rego papers

- if the car's registration isnt under your name, a signed and dated letter stating that the owner knows and allows the car will be raced at WSID by you must be provided.

so post up your interest, let me know if you're going to head down.

I will be attending both meets (weather permitting, of course :P), and racing at one or both. I would suggest getting there as early as possible if you want to race as the last 3 street meets have been cancelled due to rain, so expect plenty of cars wanting to race before Christmas, not to mention the upcoming Drag Wars meet.

I may be able to make the 14th. Car should have its final tune done by then. Would be good to have some more skylines there

Tommy ,

Let me know if you are going for sure and i may make be able to come too , who knows i may give the 34 a run as well, or better still the 33 if Mick can make it .

Charlie , is your car ready to go ?

Spectator costs are $15each not $11 and for an extra $3.50 you can get a 2wk old hotdog...

I'll be there weather permitting however i'll have to workout how to get there again coz it's been rained out for a month now.

Ahh you've got front drive back charlie?  It would really suck trying to race a gtr with only rwd....right paul?

It does suck, especially when you are staged in a semi final of a championship round and you fail to realise you neglected to switch the fronts on after a burnout, launching the thing of the limiter. What are you doing asking me a question anyway...i dont like you...do you not get it??

Yes, problem rectified. Hard-hitting turbo'd RWD GTR's are not fun, trust me.

They are fun if you have a nice linear progressive power curve....tail out power sliding fun. Not if you have an on-off switch thats all or nothing.

    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?

    • Yuh, but that one is NLA. There might be an equivalent, but I haven't looked.
    • If you hadn't bought a stand alone one already, nismo make a bolt on adjustable FPR https://www.efisolutions.com.au/nismo-fuel-pressure-regulator-sr-rb-s13-180sx-r32
    • I know and understand they are principally the same. They both cause lock under decel, but the 1.5 nomenclature implies "half" or less locking force, or it allows for more slip or a speed differential between both wheels. Right now the driving manners with the 2 way is pretty rough on transient to full off throttle in the backroads. In other words letting off the throttle too rough is not forgiving, great for drifting, tougher for controlled grip driving.      Yeah, I have watched that video a couple times, I am more so just looking for the confirmation that both part numbers offer the same ramp architecture and are just different settings from the factory.     38420-RSS15-B5  38420-RSS20-B5
