200sx Web - Wide Body Nissan S14a

Well i was a little sick today so I decided to stay at home for a mental health day. I thought it might be nice to drive up to Hornsby and talk to Langs about my diff as for those of you that have seen the car driving around before the diff for as long as I know it is about as subtle as a brick through your window with a note saying have a very ****ing merry Christmas. So driving in the guy nearly has a heart attack and says it's the worst he has ever herd!!!! I was talking and my thoughts were something like uni joints flogged, LSD plates worn or teeth missing from the crown or pinion wheels but no... He said that the chattering is caused by the plates in the LSD gripping then letting go or sliding and it is amplified by the drive train. He also suggested to not use a fully synthetic LSD oil as he suggested just sticking to a mineral based oil and adding "friction modifier"? So i grab a bottle of friction modifier from him for $20 then head off to Autobarn an p...

went for a drive today with the butt plug in, decided to fill up the car and 4 jerry cans and whilst i was at it drop by the workshop and see how james was going with his car, Traffic on VIctoria and then Paramatta road was a pain, saw a 180sx ADZ-180 but the owner didn't seem to want to look over and say hi? Dropped in on the guys and quickly decided to take some happy laps, left the butt plug in and went up and down the road a few times. Very strong mid range but you could feel it at the top. Puled out the butt plug and amazing stuff, thing pulled like a freight train and was very happy with how it felt. Bring on the next track day.

This is what 10.5in wide CE28n's in look like, thinki like these more then the other ones but not sure what to buy as i will still need to run spaces with this offset on these wheels. Might allow easier to sell in the future as GTR offset,

Picked up the car this morning and showed Unigroup the camshaft and rocker, suggestion it could be a hydralic lifter problem but noted that on the dyno the car felt very strong and no sign of any missing or faults. Was able to put a little bit more boost into the car and adjust the wastegate to bring it on sooner but it would only hold 17psi at peak boost. I think we are at about the most we can get out of the  GTRS and will need to go to a larger turbo. Took the car for a drive and it feels strong, starting in 4th from 3000rpm it pulls good then as the boost comes further on you can really feel the surge ahead. On off throttle and blips it is quick to respond and generally the car feels really alive. Drove out the road and realise after a call from Michele i had left my rego papers there so turned around and picked them up. I didn't havre lots of fuel in the car but thought i could make it to James to check out his progress and bum around for a bit but about 5min away from J...

dropped the car off at unigroup for them to look over the car and touch up the tune after the new cam has been installed.

Today i checked out the cams by removing the rocker cover and all looked OK after a few hundred klm's, also replaced the tie rods and fitted the new wheels to the car. Not sure about the wheels but here are a few shots, would be interested in any feedback

Well it looks like the special rod ends that John got for me have not cut the mustard and are in need of replacement. Rather then go for something similar again i am have got my hands on a set of new tein tie rods and tie rod ends from Martin for a great price so i will replace the entire thing.
