I always behave :)

I've even finished doing my nails.

My cat's annoying me for food. She keeps running in. Meowing at me, smooching then running back to her bowl. It's very cute.

Each time she does i tell her I'll feed her soon. And I'm still sitting here!!

I just got my diff repaired.

It was basically reconditioned. The bearing had ****ed itself. I got a new bearing and relapped the crown and pinion. SO yeah..

Gavin (my mechanic) couldn't find a diff anywhere.

Heaps of people were just saying "go to a wreckers and buy a skyline diff". I kept saying "It's not that simple. I dont know what electrics would stuff up if I just put a normal diff in"

Ended up costing $1097. That was my intercooler money. But I decided that safety was more important than going faster.

With your diff.. If you start hearing a clicking/tapping noise coming from the back, then that noise goes away, then it turns into a wurring noise that starts at a certain speed (mine started at 110km and got worse) .....(cat's back again)

Anyway, yeah, that's when its bad. It was starting to make the noise at around 40kmp/h when I finally took it to the mechanic. It had also blown a seal before this and was leaking.

Admitadly it does sound like road noise and I thought this was the case cause I've got 255/40/17 profile tyres (there huge!) and so did my mechanic. But yeah, it wasn't.

And no, I don't have a FMIC.. I can't afford it atm. And my insurance doesn't allow it right now :)

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
