some pics of the rear end work
at the start
rear end on the floor
the arms with new polybushes
lighter alloy hubs and new whiteline subframe bushes ( not just locking collars)
comparing the bushes that came out with the whiteline ones
putting them in
the arms and hubs are fitted
then it was all back together with the Nismo S tune suspension.
So far we have had hardly any dry days to try the car out but the back end felt so much better on the way home even at normal speeds.
Looks like testing will have to wait as the car is going to be a guinea pig for some new electronic gizmos
Basically we are fitting a new G sensor system which is being developed by a boffin on the GTR oc site ( who happens to be a good mate )
The plan is that the Stagea will be fitted with a much better g sensor which will react much quicker than the nissan unit. This has already been proved worthwhile on GTRs.
The difference is that it has improved lateral g sensors as well which stageas dont have at all.
So I should be able to adjust the awd split and also be able to electronically control oversteer/understeer .
The systems has the software to control this - all we need to do is to fit a 33GTR awd ecu and wire in the lateral sensor . Simplezzz
Im told this shouldnt be too hard !!!
Luckily I wont be working out the wiring....... I only have to connect it up
