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.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • 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.
    • 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.
