The Drivetrain

 

JWT HD clutch. Should hold 500lbft

JWT Lightweight single mass flywheel. Improves response but makes a racket. Not an issue now as the SC and LSD drowns itðŸ˜

Chromoly clutch pivot ball. The OEM wear down eventually and especially with uprated an clutch

Nismo needle pilot bearing. Nismo knows best so who am I to use the brass bearing.

Uprated the rubber clutch cable with a braided offering. This is Hel's. improve clutch feel and does not go mushy after track abuse.

Torque solution gearbox mount bushing compared to OEM

Gets rid of sloppiness in gear lever. Changes feel riffle sharp but only negative is the increase in NVH if you care about that. I don't!

Cusco type RS 1 to 2way LSD

Split open to reconfigure plates and diff to 2 way and 60% locking.

I don't want to go into the long story of how we wasted for hours to set it as 1.5way only to find out that I had the 1-2way diff. Blame seller!! In any case I love the 2way setup. Enables stable braking into corners and higher entry speed and corner grip and early power on exit!

Thanks for the comments!

The rear wing is from RT performance and its made of carbon fibre so very light. It has a high and low downforce setting.

I can also remove it if I want to tone down the looks😎

I get the rest of the pics up soonðŸ‘

Short shifter is great! Had the japspeed on first but though it installed and worked ok it lasted maybe about a year and then disintegrated! B&M probably make one of the best short shifters. The nismo is too expensive when its essentially the same minus the adjustability. Got it from US👀

Didn't know octet had issues as he recommended the B&M as I was considering the more expensive TWM shifter.

Awesome thread mate B)

I'm interested in some of the goodies you've put on your car as well, I'll only be doing about 3 or 4 track days a year but a couple of things I'd be keen to do.

I think I'd do that gearbox mount when I have my clutch flywheel done, and potentially the shortshifter - however, I'm guessing the standard knob won't fit afterwards ?
