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.....

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
