whoops slipped it into a gutter on the exit of a round about after a a car pulled out on me and i decided to tromp it

busted shock, dinted wheel, burst sidewall, wheel bearing now noisy, little damage to one flare

brings forward the need for diff work, new wheels to be put on and the LSD so it's a little more predictable

lol, 4 days of engineering cert is all it took to bend it

thank god the sexy wheels weren't on!

did a bit of work on the car, pulled an axle out of the h190, 23 spline which i think means the axles are no stronger than a h165? there is 20mm of unused spline meaning i can shorten by 20mm either side without respline, but i need 35mm per side and would prefer 45mm per side. Also it's 80mm to the larger diameter section of the axle, which is probably where i would have to shorten to to re-spline...

So the whole diff thing isn't looking great at the moment, would like to use the topgear torsen i have, but a shortened skyline diff is starting to sound like the easy way out


Open in new window



also fitted some carbon fiber goodness i came across - to see how it looks

that Orange does look AMAZING!!! dunno about the carbon fibre though. not btight enough to suit the car.
feel bad for you hitting the gutter though.
youve inspired me to put a ca18det in my 120y keep up the good work
