i got quoted $900 for a re-condition diff. I found that abit over-priced, so i just found my self another diff center, from the same model car, in my case a 32 gts-4. Was a bitch gettin out because theres a couple fiddly bolts to get off, and other shit u have to get of just to have better access to the bolts. But it was well worth it seeing i only paid $280 for the center.

Now i dont hear anything. :)

Hey I have heard of a band aid solution to fix diff whine. Someone told me once that if you put a bit of saw dust in the diff, that this will take up that bit of slop and reduce the whine.

Ah i don't recommend this and I have no idea what permanent damage it will cause. If I had a spare diff that I could waste I might try this just to see what happens.

Good luck with your repairs.

lol, banana peels in the diff housing is another one.

Shit 900 for a reco? I just picked up an unused nismo 1.5 way for that which comes with new bearings and output shafts and seals in addition to the center. It was a very lucky find as i only started looking for one a week ago.

ive done a track day and ad drag night and many oldroads and its staying the same lol

my case is similar, it onli seems to get louder after i dump then clutch and then after a little while it goes quiet again so i dont think its a major prob at the moment.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
