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.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
