I know a lot of people has failed using these LSDs. However, i have brought heaps of cars with 2 ways and they sometimes clucnk like shit and pass them.

My advise, before the inpsectors take it for a drive, tell them before-hand that the car is fitted with a mechanical diff and it will clunk or even if fitted with an aggressive twin plate clutch, just tell them first before they stall the car several times.

It has work so far but dont quote on me.

Cheers

if there clunking sounds like they need the diff additive in them. go to a ford dealer or a transmission shop and purchase some FORD MOTORSPORT DIFF ADDITIVE or the equivalent to this product. worked a treat in mine and stopped the clunkin

Always went to Welshpool coz my workshop is just around the corner. I have had good results at O'connor and East Perth as well.

Just remember, its not about who's slack and who's not. Its the inspectors job to make sure that the car is roadworthy and extra stuff like clutch, diffs and even coilovers are decided by individual inspectors whether they want it there or not.

Cheers

When my car went through for it's compliance check at Welshpool it went with my locked diff, somehow it passed but I have no idea how!!

LOCKER DIFFS FOR LIFE YO!!!

Yeah...mine has successfully passed the pits 3 times with a locker (failed once :P). I just tell them that the diff has been tightened up and with the touchiness of the clutch makes it feel like a locker. It has only failed at East Perth

I actually went to Midland first - they gave me 30mins extension cos they thought my car was gonna fall apart due to the harsh vibrations and clunking from the rear.

I have a Kaaz 2-way, tighter than a 12yo - not that I'd know of course.

No we don't have to go thru the pits every year.

      R32 Nostalgia

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
