Make me the third. Mine whines when coming off throttle or rolling in neutral. Fairly annoying, thought of just buying a second hand diff and housing and swapping it over. But then how do I know the next one wont do it too. From what I've been told they can whine if the gears dont mesh together properly. So if the gears are worn there is play in the diff, hence it whines when not accelerating. I've been thinking of trying a different oil. might help a little. Any thoughts????

i got the same problem. As the speed increases the whine gets louder. I got myself another diff for $300. Havnt put it in yet, but wen i get the time ill put it in, and hopefully all works out, and i refilled the new diff with penrite diff oil. I heard that aint bad either.

Rip the diff out, get the bearings replaced and the crown wheel/pinion checked and the clearance adjusted.

Done.

how much would that cost to get a mechanic to do it?

also how much do u think it would cost if i rip the diff and send it to the mechanic?

cheers

Most likley they will charge per hour.. Around 75 bucks an hour by most mechanics..

Maybe worthwhile if you bring your car into the shop and let them check it out and rip it apart..

Let them find the problem first, and then go from there.. Could be just a simple fix..

For a complete reco for the diff in my R31 skyline (bearings, seals, crownwheel and pinion) and removal and fitting was it was $950. I am kicking myself for not doing it.

It is actually quite a easy job to reco a diff if you have a basic knowledge of tools. The only special tool you need is a dial indicator to do the back lash and a oxy torch to heat the crownwheel up to put it on the diff centre. You will also need a torque wrench to test the limited slip diff. You will also need to mesh the diff properly, that info can be found in those gregories car manuals or on the internet.

taking the diff out isn't that hard. unbolt the drive shafts, unbolt the shaft coming from the gear box. and then there are two bolts at the front to remove, and i think 2 or 4 on the back. For $950 you could buy a 2-way, or 1.5-way.

for a gearbox shop to just have a look/listen they probably wouldn't charge you. but i spose different places may charge. anyone recommend a gearbox/diff shop? in brisbane

my 31 diff whined, as they do, especially after a number of skidpan days.

used synth fluid and some diff addative (lucas i think) from supercheap, and it was sweet.

addative is cheaper than a new diff. I had a 2nd hand reconditioned LSD centre put into my 31 for $500.

just keep a spare diff on hand.....

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
