Agree with getting the tyre mob to loosen them,. Their rattle guns have 100000000000Nm torque when they do up the nuts when you change/rotate tyres so should have no issue cracking then axle nut...

That comment would be funnier if it wasn't true

Went to Mania today to buy some stuff and then finished fitting a 4.1 torsen.
Need to learn how to drive it bit by bit but I now see a track day in my future

Was expecting it to have slightly less acceleration but it seems to pull just as hard.
Good times and was a great experience fitting it. Except for that one nut! but that shouldn't happen again

4.1 should make it a bit nicer in 1st with all your power

Met up with Regie for a test run thru the park. Somehow my gear changes feel smoother and easier to change quicker.
A supercharged v8 commodore found that out before we entered the park

Some pics from today.

It does although the difference is not a great deal. 3,000rpm at 95km

Yeah, trying to keep up with Regie blew the dust off mine ;)

the look of an NC is growing on me slowly. can you do NA or ND front conversions?

StanTheMan · Postby **StanTheMan** » Fri Nov 17, 2017 10:28 am

would probably be cheaper to just get an NC & make it feel like an NA without the pop ups.

NC's are great cars.

Here's a pic of the diff.
Exhaust tuck or complete new system may be on the cards.

I've had a noise in my left rear brake at low speeds for a while now. Pulled the caliper, cleaned and regreased the sliders.
I'd replaced all discs, pads and fluids about 1,000 km ago and the noise arrived on the scene after I took the car off the road for a year.
Unfortunately regreasing didn't remove the noise. Driving slow and pulling the handbrake a couple of times did seem to fix it though. Seems weird but that's one less noise
