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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
