Subaru STI R180s can be found with Torsen and clutch type mechanical LSDs in different ratios in different years. Since the topic came up....and this is a good place to post this. Has anyone here actually tried the Subi R189 Torsen diff in their Datsun? I received a phone call from a local 510 guy ...

Norm, Duke's "K" reference implies an R180 ---> The 720 4x4 trucks and D21 4x4 trucks used an R180 as their front differential. As has been highlighted, the gears are supposedly cut in a slightly different manner, in order to be compression-loaded on the opposite side as 'normal' different...

Shocks (which should always be called dampers, because that's what they are) should be matched to the mechanical system (which spring rate is a part of).

1:33 = great idea for an argon chamber!

btw, that sensor is very intriguing, It's now on my shortlist. Thanks for sharing! It's been on my shortlist for a while but I haven't had any pressing reason to get one. I want to try one in a dummy setup to detect a cam lobe, just to see how capable it is at detecting oblong shapes and magically ...

Oh, but wait... How can that be mounted to the valve cover of an L-series?!? :P Why not get that engine and add this to it for MOAR everything... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Primera-P12-SR20VE-20V-Head-Setup-NEO-VVL-Nissan-/282482820305?hash=item41c549c4d1:g:nioAAOSwAPVZHMWX&vxp=mtr Or just say fuck ...
