I am going to change the front R32GTR diff with an ATS lsd tomorrow with the sump in the car. I've access to a hoist and air.

I've been told that this will be a very difficult job. Has anyone done it? Can I have some tips to speed up the process so I can see the final races at Clipsal tomorrow?

Do you guys know what oil is recommended for the ATS LSD?

Many thanks in advance.

the LSD did not come with the any bearing...I should have a look prior :thumbsup:.....and the late sunday start did not help at all. The whole mission was aborted.

It looks like a fairly involved process but doable. Do you have any tips or short cuff for this?

So what you are saying is, all the workshops around the world are not doing it "properly" who don't pull the engine.

No...I didn't say that at all. I would like to know if it's possible to setup the preload and backlash on the car though?? It doesn't look like it to me.

I guess you could always drop the subframe and pull the sump off but that isn't really an easier option.

Yes it is possible...much easier than taking the engine out...why the new found interest in front diff's Mik?

So...you can pull the pinion and shaft out with the sump still on?

My diff decided it had enough...

Yes everything to properly set up the front diff can be done while sump still in the vehicle.

Too much power?? or was torque split being controlled by something other than ATTESSA??

I can see that it possible to shim up the bearing side thrust on the car, but I can't see how the pinion and shaft can come out to change the spacer.

Standard ATTESA. Went bang when it came on boost. Feels like it's broken the spider gears assembly.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
