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.

Yeah its about a four hour job on a hoist....ive done worse jobs before....its not to bad.

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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
